This is Ella, my lovely little 1.2L 5 door with 54k on the clock, I bought her in November 2015, after unfortunately crashing my old nova :cry:. I begin a new, this will be a long build probably constantly changing as she is a daily lol.

When i got her, looked her over real good, she had a spot of bad rust around the fuel filler cap and the paintwork is cracking in places and faded, so not to worry we got a panel for her and she is booked in for a respray and welding on 3rd may 2016 which I am very, very exited about :).

In the meantime whilst she is in for work, I will be buying parts for her (I have a big list lollol) and pottering about in a 1.3 Suzuki Swift, not sure if im going to love it or hate it but it will get me from A to B :d:d.

This was the first to arrive in a very long list of bits ;)

Good luck with the build, I'm not a massive fan of the 5 door but I'm sure you'll get it looking great .
