Looking at a Nova Redtop tomorrow

[GMeaks]

Can anyone give me some tips about what to look out for? I had a Nova years back and know rust is an issue but as far as the conversion goes are there any bits I should be looking for that may not be obvious?

Any advice is much appreciated :thumb:

loads lol, stitch welded? Shafts are they GTE, Big Block or welded jobbys? Exhaust? - Decent welding job or is it blowing? Suspension? Just uprated springs are no good ideally a full setup. Brakes? - Minimum of 2.0 256mm. Engine mounts? Wiring and pipework neat? just anything that looks out of place
