Blast from the past....

Evening all,

Whilst selecting some toilet reading tonight from my vast collection of car mags, I came across this little gem ( :confused: ) from 1996 and the Fast Car stable ....

[bazzap8389]

Funny enough i was looking at that mag yesterday! Here's another nova I found on a cover, I'm sure there was heaps of features I'll have a rummage through one day and have a look.

[Benn]

I love looking back at the old ones. Never seen that Nova before either.

I'll see if I can dig some more out - a turquoise blue Nova with a C20LET from Fast Car in 1995 rings a bell.

Here's Andy - not a very helpful guy back then - when I was putting in my F28 he was the only other Nova running an F28 and refused to tell me how to sort the tie bar issue out :thumb:

Makes me regret dumping all my old 'Fast Car' magazines when I moved house last year!

Luckily I kept my complete collection of 'Cars and Car Conversions'.

That touring car style nova was ahead of it's time in terms of looks

[Novasport]

There are two more Ascona's behind that one!

[GDN16v]

I'll see if I can dig some more out - a turquoise blue Nova with a C20LET from Fast Car in 1995 rings a bell.

It had Cesaro 15's on iirc! ;) If its the same one, ive got the mag somewhere! lol

Yep that's the one, a mk1 shell with a GTE front end with a black leather interior from a Calibra I think with 15" Cesaro's. It has some sort of chargecooler set up using something from a Mercedes IIRC .

I'll have a look tonight.

[Benn]

He wouldn't help you with some info? That's off!

The reason i do/write such a detailed project thread is to help others out. Photos of everything to help and that.
