well last year i got myself a little 1986 mk1 nova, i travelled 4 hours to pick her up and was really impressed with it, only 1 tiny bit of rust on it and for 700 quid was a bargin! its only covered 19,000 miles while i believe after seeing the interior which was really clean despite being 26 years old, ill try to add as many updates as i can, let me know what you think. just about to join to get pics up lol

Just some snaps of the car when I bought it, shell was solid and interior was really clean, ran really sweet considering its 26 and did a 250mile drive home with the only problem being it rained and ruined the journey!

Very under-rated wheels imo, nice base for a project :)

Very Tidy Looking for its age, Nice find :thumb:
Sitting as it does on the tigra wheels with the XE in would be a nice wee sleeper ;)

Well my project is in full swing, car painted and bits starting to go back in. As it turns out ive got a late c20xe engine and obviously want to stick the twin severs I have on it, I have an issue with the exhaust cam doesn't fit the dizzy, what have people done previously to get past this? Will an exhaust cam for the early c20xe be all I would need?
