[tony k]

Looking good mate,like the brown one alot,would be nice with a let engine in,coincidentally I have one forsale lol

[GRANT !!!]

good work pal. what need's doing on the brown one? like it!

[gary_126]

White one looks a good shell! Brown one is well cool, dont think ive seen a nova that age for over 10 years!

[Calamity Josh]

Ahhhh nice to see these novas again! you brought them off shippy :) the white one my friend was building up years ago and also had a black mk2 converted to gte that my brother had off him, and my brother was the one that was gunna have the brown one off shippy but now doesn't want it the second time round... (wish he did!) if only i had the money you want for it, why not sell the mk2 and keep the mk1, you know the mk1's better!

[scott.parker]

IF the mk1 is solid enough if would tidy that up and keep mate, as that will increase massively in value soon...

[Calamity Josh]

To be honest, i know how you came around getting it and it's already increased in value! mk1 novas are (luckily going up in value nowerdays especially the old school colours :)

[NOVABOY8]

i looked at the brown one today for a bit needs welding in battery tray, iner arch drivers side and boot floor drivers side.
i not got the money to sort out both novas

[Benn]

Nice work, well done for taking everything out the bay before painting. Love the cups.

[scott.parker]

Whats the offset on the cups, and how much clearance is there, you got rolled arches?

[Nobby]

Looking good fella,nice work on the engine bay,has that had a xe in it before as there's a hole drilled out for it

[_Jake]

Looking good! Wheels look mint mate

[NOVABOY8]

i get better picture of the cups i dont know what engine was in it as was a rolling shell.
having a bit of trouble with the engine as wont start, when i put the engine in it run fine and when to it a few days later and now wont run.

[scott.parker]

What offset are the cups, do you have your arches fully flat rolled or not mate?
Interested to see how they fit, and how low the cars is on them etc..

[NOVABOY8]

i find out offset later, my brother had them on a lupo. think 80mm on the back and thicker shocks on the front and i not rolled the arches i need to lower the front more as lots of space i find out tyres size later as two diffenernt and the wided ones hit the rear acher but others dont so i put the wide tyres on the front at the min in the new year want to get archer repair and roll them
