Nova GTE Steel Grey

[garethcolley]

After nearly a year without a Nova and having sold everything i own I've ended up buying another Nova! I've always wanted one of these as previous models have been 83' L, 91' Trip so here it is. 1989 GTE in Steel Grey Metallic (60k) which was recently listed for sale on here. The car itself is in great condition having benefited from some recent paint work. The underside is in suberb with no visible rust or anything remotely nasty. The car has never seen a weld and by the looks of it no filler! Current spec of the car is as follows:

-Rebuilt early 20XE with forged Mahles and ARP rod bolts
-F20 Wide Ratio box with brand new 4 paddle clutch
-Speedlines powder coated anthracite wrapped in Toyo T1-R 195/40s
-Full 3 box stainless system 2.25" inc huge 4 branch manifold
-Big shafts and conversion flanges
-Cavalier Turbo Front calipers with 4 Stud 288mm discs
-Rear disc conversion
-New brake lines inc stainless braided flexis
-SPAX RSX Coilovers with adjustable damping
-Strenthened rear beam modified to run 2 x ARBs
-Polybushed throughout
-New ball joints
-All suspension parts powder coated along with brackets
-New uprated fuel pump inc new lines throughout
-New fuel tank
-Mint GTE original interior

Looks a tidy shell

Them wheels should be illegal on a mk1 imo, apart from that it looks gorgeous :)

[garethcolley]

Agreed about the wheels I was wanting some 15 inch flat MO5s but I want to stick to a tight budget for the build and since the speedlines are brand new with brand new tyres I reckon I'll keep them.

[garethcolley]

Plans for the car haven't been decided yet, going to get a few exterior trim bits painted black and the cracked window seals replaced. Also door pillar vinyl needs replacing to be mint. Probably remove the 16v decals to keep it more standard. LET is the most likely option or might do a stripped out 1.6 8v.
