Hey figured I should make a post to introduce myself, since my Nova should be on my drive on Saturday (pictures then) it's a 1986 (I think) 1.2l Spin, current state of the thing is pretty decent, there's some rust on the exterior which needs dealing with, some welding needs doing in the wheel wells, but I'm getting that and 12 months MOT with the car. Brakes are a bit ****, going to be replacing the discs, pads and fluid. Air con motor is ****ed, but I don't really care, probably just going to lose it and call it a weight reduction.
Other than those bits (so far :P) the car is in a pretty decent state. Interior is all original and absolutely spotless, only 50k miles on the clock, and it's only had 2 previous owners. Engine sounds a bit weird, but it is old, and I'm probably going to replace that anyway since there is an i on the car and apparently that means dropping a 1.4 or 1.6 engine in there should be relatively easy.
Little about me since I am new, this is my first car, I'm paying just under 900 quid for it, I live down in sunny Cornwall, and I love Novas. Always have, when I was a teenager there used to be this one Nova driving around town that I was jealous of, so now I'm getting one. Can't wait to get my hands dirty with it.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, the car is white from the factory, and smells like old people.
EDIT AGAIN: There's also a dent in the front right hand side panel, so I'll be needing a new one at some point.
Any advice, greetings, or cries of "you're a moron because...." are completely welcome. Just very excited about becoming a Nova owner really.
