Add to this..

Making an incredibly strong and lightweight Nova.

It is properly registered as an 1.8 (Technically 1796cc).

It comes complete with 2 X18XE1 (Smallblock) engines complete with all ancillaries AND ECU Sets. 1 is complete ready to drop in , the other has all ancillaries removed for Throttle Bodies (see below), both were from low mileage cars that I personally owned/stripped.

New parts included..

[Mark]

2nd hand parts included..

Standard rear beam.
Standard front suspension.
2nd rear beam converted to use the MK4 astra rear disc setup (lighter and better than cav/astra style internal handbrake version), strengthened for coilover use then powdercoated black and new poly bushes.
Uniball type ball joints.
Full set of 2 door saloon glass.
Front and rear MK1 bumpers and grille.

All the wiring required to get the car up and running (1 set from a Astra & 1 from a Vectra) plus the standard Nova loom.
4 Steel Wheels.

What needs to be done?

Needs painting...5ltrs of Star Silver paint included.
No rust underneath, some minor repair to the rear arches but they are still solid.

Parts I can think of to finish..

Better front suspension, Exhaust, Clocks (I was going to buy a Race Tech 'Dash 2') Handbrake, brake & fuel lines.

I am sure there is stuff I have forgotten so please ask, if your serious I urge you to come and view, the condition/work/parts included really need to be seen to be believed.

I have 100' upon 100's of pictures some of which I'll put up next, but you can also get a good feel for the work via the pictures and write up in my WIP thread here...

Price....

£2500 and that isn't even a pinch of what has been spent (Cage £600 not including fitting, Front brakes £500, Front screen £150, Poly windows £150, Pedal setup £500, Steering rack £150 not to mention all the other new parts plus engines/boxes etc.

Cash on collection (by trailer of course) from Bristol...I 'may' be able to help with delivery but payment would need to be made in advance. (Or atleast a decent deposit).
