I bought my very first nova for £700 with no engine
It is the cleanest nova i have ever seen, it has no rust, anywere!
it came with the full conversion kit for a c20let (mounts, shafts etc) and the shell is already seam welded.

it also came with a cat 1 alarm and tracker (fitted)

what do you all think?

It came with the png sticker so i thought i would follow it up! :P


I then started the search for an engine, i was liking the idea of a c20ne, however i was just happy to see what come up first.
then whilst at work i enqired about a nova that had been parked up for roughly 4 years
i asked about it, see if the bloke would sell it, i put the reg in and it said it was a 1.4l

however after speaking to him i found out it was a 1.3 sr engine on a 1.6 astra carb.
it ran and drove and all the parts were there, so i bought it! £350!
it has very little rust (underneath, pannels nead treatment), has a new tank, new fuel lines, new brake lines, but its not in bad nick!

heres a pic!

once getting it back, i noticed it had been seam welded! which was good and it had gte front seats, which was better!

the shell is now for sale with no front seats or engine, offers?

do you like my novas?

Most probably was, it was probably broken for parts after it was c20let'd, after that it was c20ne.

am just going to put the 1.3 sr engine for now, most probably in a year or so go for a c20xe or a saab turbo? nah, lots of people have said to put on the mk1 front end, however i prefer mk2's personally

The yellow one was originally built by game1 off here (but all pics off build thread have been deleted)
Shaun then rebuilt it >BUILD THREAD< (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?127346-my-Let-nova-project)

Yeah not the reply we look for on here, if you're going to do that then keep it to yourself as the club has a good image and pretty much everyone on here is all legal (not everyone but pretty much) if you don't declare modifications in the event of a crash your insurer wont pay out and you'll be in deep **** as your insurance will actually be void so you may as well be driving without any.
