Just out of interest, why?

Connor

He's got plenty of nova shells knocking about and why not?

Well surely thats got to be long cumbersome and heavy, to be of any real use in grasstracking, surely after the initial novelty wears off after the first minute, then its just boring and annoying?



There used to be a local nova/corsa breakers/repair specialists round here run by a bloke you may have heard of if youre into grasstrackers 'Gav Winters' and he built two nova saloon limos for the road, he mustve driven them both about two or three times then they just sat down the end of his yard rotting away till they got weighed!

Thats more along the lines of what i was thinking tbf!

Why?
They will have been rotten shells more than likely,or if they werent,as per the usual case,they will have been advertised and people with only hopes and dreams will have enquired and most probably messed the guy around as usually happens when shells are for sale.
You cant even give them away i have seen on here.

not the case in my experience, 90% of bangers, grasstrackers, ralliers etc. simply dont care, it is just a lump of tin to them. ive just found a mk1 black dash, problem is its been cut around a cage and all sorts so its fooked, they didnt have a clue it was rare or anything

half the stuff i used to take out with hammers and prybars is now considerd "rare" as far as i WAS concerned it wasnt needed in a rally car ect

People said that about the saloonacue, yet nobody wanted the old 3dr shell we used when I offered it up for free.

i see as many mullered novas and other cars on the grassing as on the road. you think some of the spaceframed novas e.t.c... of which most were rotten and far gone, have been given a new lease of life and often last for many more years on the grass rather than being cubed.

Very true... I brought a GTE interior off a guy who was using novas as banger racers... Full interior and seat belts etc for £50.. It was immaculate!!! Worth well over the £50 price tag and don't think he realised its true value.

surely your just contradicting what burgo said as the fact they were doing bangers and didn't know the true value was a good thing? lol

No.... The point i was making was that he didn't know the value of what he had... Credit it to him that he kept it immaculate and sold it on as soon as he got it but what i was trying to say was that he could of sold it for a lot more in my opinion.. I was happy though because i kept a bit of money in my pocket! :)

remember, for every nova that gets scrapped, all the remaining ones go up in value.... its how a car becomes a sought after classic

burgo
07-04-12, 11:03 PM
