Well the Nova has gone.

It got picked up this morning and is now on it's way to the middle of nowhere.

I stripped out as much as I could before it got picked up this morning. There were probably a few more bits I could have removed, but I ran out of time.

The engine has been reoved (no it hasn't been replaced with a bucket before anyone asks :P ) The car just happen to wet itself ;)...

I stripped as much of the interior as I could within the time. Yes that is a red drivers side door. I had the original replaced a few years ago...

Here it is on it's way to the middle of nowhere...

As the song goes "When will I see you again...?"

At the moment I'm looking forward to my holiday next week, the car was fun whilst it lasted.

yes Keith, it's gone for a respray...bright orange with full Novadose kit to be fitted...plus I'm going to change my name to Dan and eat lots of pies :D :wink: :P

Anton, I was gonna take the battery out, but seriously ran out of time.

Should get it back within a month at the latest, I'm not in any real hurry as theres still lots to do to other bits of the car.

I have an older chair that doesn't have compartments in the arms, but not that it matters as its too comfy to even think about stretching over for a drink :)
