Breaking my 1989 Nova feature car: Summer 2016

[peester]

My modified 1989 3 door Vauxhall Nova (Merit) is to be broken for parts during this summer to end a short chapter (and to fund buying property.)

Over the coming weeks/months; all interior, chassis running gear and engine parts will be going on ebay as and when they are off the car and ready to go.
I won't be doing it in a hurry, it will be summer long.

This week (18th April): I have listed a number of parts that mostly never actually made it onto the car. They were bought during the on going build but never fitted in the end. See individual listing for more info.

In the next week or so I will actually start removing parts off the car itself and it will be interior parts that will be listed first.

Any comments or questions I have an old build thread (I admit it got a bit abandoned a long time ago now) but searching my username should find it. PM's ok.

Do you have a quick rack in this? If so I'll take it.

shame to see this car being broke but needs must

Just a thought, as Nova prices are on the up, is it not worth selling as a whole or al least having a go?, I'm sure there are people (with money) looking to relive their youth.......

Your car is a lovely thing!!!

Plug: Hi no quick rack, sorry. All parts will be listed on ebay, as said. Can't allow for any bagsy's.
Royston: I had thought of selling complete, but with this example (as in not C20XE/C20LET, old school/period/scene or original-esque: the favoured Nova's) I think there is a better chance of getting the most possible back, by breaking. I am contemplating rebuilding once stripped; to a lesser, minor/low spec and getting it road worthy again. So I might not be selling what's left after, as a rolling shell - but an MOT'd 1.4/1.6 8 or 16v running working car.
See how it goes.

I am a bit behind on the spec of this car Peester but can you give us an idea.

I am currently gathering parts for a z18xe'd Nova....ta

[peester]

January 2016's Total Vauxhall Magazine feature is a good place to see the spec: I never got round to updating my build thread, its quite a mess as they often get. But I can pm a spec to people on request, no problem :thumb:

No overseas shipping? :(

[peester]

Hi prs: yeah I apologise that I prefer not to, with most of these parts being quite big/heavy/fragile/valuable items; it can be a bit of a nightmare. I'm just not setup here professionally for shipping parts with stocks of solid boxes and packaging and often time to find best prices and so on.

If you contact me via ebay with some details/suggestions and with the part(s) youre interested in I can try to help.

Thanks.

Dave.

Is the shell available?

[Mxcrazy]

I was having a think about the rad hoses, i went back to buy them, and they'd gone. Gutted. If you snooze, you lose!

[peester]

Ah, sorry to hear. Yeah I have been listing everything as auctions really up until now, but it can attract silly behaviour so tried some as buy it now a bit more - should have stuck to just auctions eh.

[Alex J]

Could possibly be tempted in the wheels..but would need to sell mine first..
