Just bought this instead of a nova I had my eye on as a project,it's got 60K on the clock but no service history or old mots as an old guy had it from new and past away and his wife could'nt find it all:( but i have no doubt that it's the genuine mileage,It drives like a nearly new car and there is absolutly no rust or rot anywhere!:d the only thing that is wrong with it is that when the old guy had it someone drove down the back drivers door which dented it and the arch so need a door and to get arch sorted,it had none standard wheel trims on it when I got it so i've just put my slabs on it now but I'm gonna try and a mint set of original wheel trims for shows.

I know mate i'm going to have a play with it all at the weekend but i think the old guy has just knocked something in a car park or something as there's a slight mark on the bumper.

cheers mate plans are to sort the door and arch first,i'm going to get a decent set of shocks and springs,up grade brakes,a decent exhaust and a cam and i'm going to try and get a mint set of standard wheel trims so I can return it all to standard when I take it to shows so it's all original
