Dead hopefully, it needed putting out of its misery when it was local to me lol

[kent14sr]

There was a thread on here about it and how many owners it went through in a matter of months- did VX-Andy not buy it back for the second time?

[Southie]

Ah I remember that one, 50 billion owners by now I bet lol The last guy I remember having it on here was Xe_Dan CLICKYME (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?134081-lazer-blue-1.4-sr-wip)

my mates still got it who i sold it to its had a bare shell respray been stitch welded and is now running a red top it should be making a re aperance this year when he has finished it and the nice weather is here
o and its about 5 owners as alot of people didnt put it in there names

[Spudly]

Nice, it would finally have a chance at beating my old 1.2 now lol

Even with a full system, 32/34, cam and 1300 head, it was still slow as shoite :eek:

I have a video of it pitched against my Sport at PVS 2007.

[Andy]

[peester]

some claims made there eh. Has always been a looker though.

[kent14sr]

It looks awful now!!

Poor thing, think its beyond help and such a nice colour!!

[Will F]

Went to go have a butchers... It's not too bad, but needs too much work to justify the price. Shame really.

[oVerboost]

Without wanting to bump the thread again... I am going to have a look at this tonight. I'm going in with my eyes wide open as I've had a fair few novas in the past (and restored a couple), and know the history of this car. The price is an issue, and I know what I'm happy to pay, however mk1 SR's (or should that be novas in general) are hard to find and the engine sounds half decent as a starting point (although obviously not the 200bhp claimed). Car was seam welded and had a bare metal respray with all the bad areas sorted apparently. May save it and do it properly, poor car deserves that at least! :)
