Bought this 1.2 Merit to use bits off it for the rally/autotest cars but we decided it's too tidy to take to apart and I'm using it on the road when I'm home from uni.
Got a few knocks here and there but with a bit of work it'll be mint!

Got some Revo RFXs on the way for it but stuck these on for now, planning to put suspension/roll bars on it over christmas and got an SR steering wheel on the way too, I'll keep you posted with how it's going!
Next job is to get rid of the rub strips and the black pillar sticker!

Looking good Joe. I will be keeping an eye on this. :thumb:
I'm sure someone will want the rubbing strips if they come off damage free, does look like a little minter
Looks a nice clean car, as you've said, too good for autograss'ing!

Now has Spax adjustable shocks and lowering springs all round, a set of 13" Revolution RFXs and I've taken the rub strips off as well, be getting rid of the pillar sticker too when I find time!

New wheels suit it perfectly, nice work
Does look very nice :) I'd keep the pillar sticker personally though, unless you're replacing with the full size one and window surrounds :d

Cheers for the comments, after looking at photos of other Novas I've decided I prefer them without the pillar sticker, I suppose if I change my mind in the future I can always replace it with another one! :)

nice looking motor, another vote for removing the pillar sticker, looks a bit odd with it left on and having no rub strips
