Well bought this on New Years Day off eBay for my first car, could see from the eBay ad that it was very clean so I had to get it! http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/28/0aa8ea4d4ddd22246cf7e927e7c6fc75.jpg
It's only a 1 litre but it will definitely get me going. Plan over the next couple of months until my 17 th birthday is to get the suspension and brakes uprated and the odd tiny patches of rust taken out. Also tidy up the inside and give it a good clean up.
Here's some more pictures http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/04/28/22e6b4cbf7416ce90b3b21309f776e12.jpg

She's a beaut, alright! Lovely first car, and am almost certain it will not be your first and only Nova. It's an illness, of which the only cure is a second one after the first one's been completed lol

Here's some pictures of the growing collection of parts for the car

Corsa B polybushed bottom arms that I got very cheap off eBay
Edit: Bought the wrong one as these are much longer than standard nova bottom arms http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/03/7983df19aef4aab8c61b5cb6b5455868.jpg

SPAX 40 mm lowering springs
