Leaf Green Saloon

[Letkey]

After endless persuading from my mate I've finally bought my first nova, she's 1985 leaf green 2dr saloon. The car has been local to me for a while and came up for sale the other week and I couldn't help myself. I'll be on here searching for some parts in the coming weeks so any help with that would be appreciated. Here are some pics with my mate's saloon (millworm off here). - Seanhttp://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/691/34m8.jpg (https://imageshack.com/i/j734m8j)http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/560/sv93.jpg (https://imageshack.com/i/fksv93j)http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/800x600q90/546/g1x0.jpg (https://imageshack.com/i/f6g1x0j)

That looks tidy, nice purchase :) What's the plans for it?

[Letkey]

It's gonna be my daily ready for the summer, will eventually end up with something a little more fierce under the bonnet. Got a few other bits and bobs I gotta sort but nothing major

[millworm]

White Loon looking lovely as always :)

[mk1kieran]

Love that pic, is that just a film over the headlights?

[Letkey]

thanks :) and yeah mate its just a film

[chrisd1986]

Nice to see another leaf green nova on here, best colour imo not that im biased lol

[jafanan]

paintwork looks brilliant

love the retroness of a leaf green

id remove the tint film though, looks tacky

[Letkey]

Yeah the paint work was one of the main reasons I bought it, there's literally no rust what so ever, and I'm debating about the lights I'm not to sure if I like them or not

[Benn]

I like that, has all the makes of a nice project.

[Letkey]

thanks mate! cant wait to get her on the road :)

[Letkey]

The sooner the better! I'll drag him down with me, haven't seen anyone's in ages

[Letkey]

yeah i was at that meet but i went with charlie (millworm) but now i own her so ill be sure to come down :)

[Steve]

Cool, mate, be good to get another saloon along. I think they are almost as popular in our region as the hatches!

[Letkey]

yeah man! i cant wait to get her on the road, only another week or so i just keep looking at pics of it and i just cant wait!

[Novaload_Nick]

Like! Loons seem to be getting cooler by the day, I need one!

[TonySR]

Seen this pop up on fb a few times after Matt Hooper commented on pics. Makes me want a saloon...

Not keen on the smoked lights though.

[Southie]

Love your last picture, are your lights crap at night then lol

[Letkey]

i told myself if i buy a nova it had to be a 2 door saloon, but theres like none out there! :(

[Letkey]

:) same, when its back on the road im taking them off i think it looks cleaner without them

[bazzap8389]

I rather like the tints tbh

[Southie]

The headlights on a Nova ain't the best anyway so by having the tints will be a bad thing lol

Enjoy getting it on the road, is it your first car then?

[Letkey]

this is what it looks like with no tints
