Here are a few pics of my nova gsi.. purchased it in February from Perth..done a few bit to it since then.. replaced the tired 1.6 engine with a fresher one, replaced 15in gm alloys to 16"speedlines,Painted side skirts still a few more bits too do yet but this is how it looks at moment
This is how it looked a few years ago (around 2006ish)

Remembered this car from years ago, looks great. Id say you have got a nice buy rich, not many good genuine gsi's about these days.

Looked nice on the Astra Sport alloys. Not a common wheel so something different to the norm and really suited the car.
I had a good look around this at pv09 when Anna had it still had its original 1.6 8valve
Engine but lots of stainless steel and chrome it gave me loads of ideas when I rebuilt my old grey
Mistral grey GSI years ago.
Great car mate

I thought astra sport alloys had I narrower spokes
Cheers guys it will want for nothing i even extended my garage for it to go in. I don't know much about the history of it but someone spent some money on it over the years lots of chrome bits even underneath. Was rebuild 5 years ago but not great as some rust is coming in places but new panels an paint will sort that. Hoping to get to a couple of shows this year to put some faces to names

Hi Rich, nice looking nova you've got there mate. Seen it round Dans when you first brought it, made me very jealous! Wish I'd never sold my last nova.
Cheers bud its a small world i take it u know Dan? Im sure he must cringe every time my number comes upon his phone. I owe him once i start to find my way round it I'll b fine. Its amazing how many nova nuts there r in Norfolk thought there was only a couple lol

Known Dan for years, he's welded many of my nova's in the past! Couldn't resist a look at yours when he said he was working on one-recognized from here. Yeah I'm a proper nova nut, don't own 1 currently but have owned 7 previously inc x2 GTE's x2 SR's GSI TD, Even had a nova on my wedding cakelol
