Alright, Posting this on behalf of my brother, He has a 1988 Vauxhall Nova GTE, he picked it up from London a couple of months back, Runs like it should looks like it should minus the standard wheels, its been lowered unsure of springs or shocks at the moment but there not standard.. Yellow shocks which i think are Jamex?? and Orange springs :S lol not 100% sure but its stiff, Its got a Cone filter on it which will be going standard.. if anyone has an original Airbox PM me and i will pass message on?.. cheers, Its got a set of Speedline 13'' alloys on it, He is looking to get it Fully seam welded and Painted in the same colour then keep it stored only for good days, Ill let the pics do the talking more updates soon :).

Lol I don't know anything about rad but his old 1.4 had a smaller one than that iirc so not sure lol, the wheels are nice but too small i think or suspention is too hard either or, Just near Glasgow mate.

Thats a sexy looking car, love the colour, i hope its not going completely back standard as they look good with a few subtle touches, slightly lowered, wheels that kind of thing, also they have too much body roll as standard to be surefooted at speed on the twisties lol

Standard GTE wheel trims are the way to go. ;)

Looks very nice how it is imo, actually suits the tints too which is a shock.
