What have i done......

[sport]

Well i thought i had got better but it seems the bug has bitten in big time again.
Up at 4am to make my way to Glasgow air port for a 6.30 flight to Luton airport to pick up this little thing.

Will i ever get better :confused:

[TeddyThom]

There is no treatment currently known or available to man to cure this ailment of the nova bug.

I shall say something nice at your funeral :thumb: lol

[Mazz]

You'll never learn! Looks a good shell though

[peester]

perfect nova.

[steviegsi]

Looks clean..... I actually thought you had bought alex's sport shell when I read the first sentence!

[Novasport]

I felt the same when I had a red one of them on my drive ;)
Looks good, need better pics

[Novasport]

[NOV4_SPORT]

Really good little nova cruised the whole road up no bother at all and never missed a beat once, was a very early start but worth it buddy

[dc1984]

Well done mate, looks like a good buy;)

[Novasport]

These little 1.2's are cracking little motors. My Swing had been unused for 10 years and it drove back from Surrey to the Midlands and never missed a beat :)

[sport]

Yes Rich thats the one, 1 lady owner from new 61000 miles really nice car to drive nice and tight and pulls well.

[raf24]

nice little car that :)

[bazil]

Looks cracking mate, I'll need to get a wee nosey at it soon, I've got a spare GSI kit, some speedlines and a 'redtop' if your interested lol

[sport]

Going to recrate kingdoms pinky nova from years ago, pop over any time mate,

[16v Nova Kev]

ace!!! looks like some nice novas up here now.

[scott.parker]

Nice buy, is possibly cleaner on the interior then mine too.. I love the 1.2 in mine, its a cracking little engine mixed with good suspension its dam good fun, OK it wont go over 85-90 mph but it will fly round corners, r;bouts nicely..

[sport]

Cheers Scott, just didnt think the Jamacan Yellow would fit in right with my plans (never thought id say that about jam yellow).

[DAFTJOHN]

Lovely standard wee nova there. Looking forward to seeing this.

[Novasport]

The LET engine is a cracking engine! ;)

[sport]

The small block is where its at, dont need to add the cc`s to make up for other short comings lol

[Novasport]

I meant a small block, the 12ST engine was the original LET(Low end torque) engine:thumb:

[sport]

lol I see said the blind man lol

But yes the 1.2 4speed engine and box is a cracking combo.

[Novasport]

I remember my friends first Nova that got me interested in them. He had a Polar White 1.2 Swing with a 5 speed box and he had fitted a Brown SR interior & SR rear spoiler.
Cracking little car and it got some abuse.

[Nova_Tek]

I meant a small block, the 12ST engine was the original LET(Low end torque) engine:thumb:

lol good old Low End Torque. best 1.2 engine to have due to most power and powerful enough to run aircon (in europe)

[Novasport]

What have i done......

Oh, and in answer to your original question....

You have been a stupid fool. You have managed to buy yet another a badly built, rust prone, Grannies shopping trolley, rattly, Spanish 80's throwback of a car. We will never learn.

I like it ;)

[sport]

I should be old enough to know better but then you only live once lol

[Southie]

Yet another stunner, yes I'm jealouse :(

[sport]

Now where have i left this, im forever miss placing things........

[burgo]

[bazil]

Now where have i left this, im forever miss placing things........

Paint work sorted and he fitted the Irmscher rear spoiler, I fired on the 3 spoke alloys and passanger side mirror.

[16v Nova Kev]

looking good.

[Tim Harpley]

Very nice, my sister had one of these from new for about 5 years.

[Novasport]

Mmm, looks good but needs the vinyl I think.

[sport]

Cheers for the comments lads.

Rich working on the vinyl but do agree it needs it.

[Novasport]

I have the plain black vinyl but I could not get the one with the Irmscher logo cut into it, should not be hard to replicate though

[BRoadGhost]

For a 1198cc it looks as low as an SR

Take all the crap off the tailgate :)

[Nobby]

the spoiler ruins it maye

[Novasport]

Looks better with the vinyl....
