wow, i really am loving the brown. no really! 8)
Not too bad for a ?50 Nova then?!

lol, legit eh?
nah looks mint.
jus needs a decking!!
slam it, slam it, slam it
Lol - yes, most people have asked me if it was legit, I paid by credit card... 8)
Yes, she does need lowering, I want a 60mm drop kit, but I'm in no hurry, I have just purchased an Astra 16v front brake kit and a few other goodies...
I once had a brown nova when i was 15!
i called her chocolated drop!
Mark, your saloon is now called chocolate drop:
project chocolate drop!

all this needs now is a stupidily big engine, then when those saxo boys are laughing at you can humiliate them infront of their mates. :lol: But still it is a bargin at only ?50
Lol Thanks Neil - at least I might get a shag if you send all the women you have hit down.....1 out a 100 is a good bet!
Thanks Phil - I am considering the 1600 t40 option.
haha, small 1600 eh, oh well, still be able to stay infront of your sh!t trap on wheels :)
Lol - with those LARGE wheels you'll still be slower than me... :lol:

like that standard blue nova at santa pod. Still had the 1.2 on the back, everyone was laughing cos it was up against a scooby. Yes the scooby got battered, its those cars that are the best because no one expects it.
thats what i want, like OnePhatNovas Blue baby, looks liek a shed but has a 2.ltr 8v in it!
only messing corsanova, luv ya really :)
I am hoping to keep it a street sleeper..
good idea with your past experiences.

Thanks Phil, to be honest I was expecting a lot of people to hate it, but it seems to be going down rather well..

Saloon haters club
If it was mine it wouldnt get past the first laybye without being abandoned, but its not and its what you want.
From what youve told me sounds like a decent find as well.

lol, turd on wheels.
Lol - Though it couldn't get any s**t, then I thought about fitting your wheels...
GOOD comeback pal! Likin it.
HATE four doors and saloon novas, but for some reason i like that. Even in brown.
Dont see many cars in brown do you!
Thanks Marty!
Oh and sorry Ian, GTE/SR grilles are far too common and it keeps the 'old skool' look even with the deeper SR bumper.
*Mental note* Don't stop in layby with Ben :lol:
I am with the majority on this one.
How can I like it??!! ITS BROWN!!!
But I do!!!
Nice one Mark, could be a proper sleeper!
Dont worry about Ben, he can be regularly found in layby's waiting for men!!! :lol:
Nice car very old school :D

no, it needs to be hit with a bomb
haha, small 1600 eh, oh well, still be able to stay infront of your sh!t trap on wheels :)
feel free to join in next years 1600 pod challenge mate. Will be a shame being beaten by them all ;)
:lol: :lol:
Back to the saloon, phat! sort the interior and make that a tad more modern and im loving it. 1600 is fair idea, slam it, mk2 dash and ur seats u already have and leave it like that :D
will
p.s. rust wont show thru much on that :D find me a saloon for ?50
ill give u a tenner for pam as a run around?
Dont worry about Ben, he can be regularly found in layby's waiting for men!!! :lol:

24-11-03, 07:57 PM
well, its not that bad.
lose the black lights (bad boy style innit lol)
and get an sr grill (ive got one in the garage somewhere if you want it)
and i think three door arches would finish it off :?
my mates got a 2dr saloon sleeper

Is it red with a 2.0 8v?

24-11-03, 08:55 PM
liking it mate! keep the outside the same apart from some OE GSi 14" rims with slicks and lowered for handling!
Strip it totally and 2litre it!!
What is it going to be for? Drag strip/ everyday car/track car/rallying?
Can't wait to hear detailed plans on this one!

"She's my lil deuce coupe
You dont know what I got"
:D
Lol - nearly in tone there CP :D
I really am not sure what I intend to do with her yet, all I know is that I have wanted a Saloon for a long time and this one took my fancy.
I have fitted my Astra GTE Recaro's from my green car and also fitted a set of matching rears, this improves the interior alot, helped by the 6-dials and steering wheel.
I have a set of Brown checked recaros, but have not decided whether to fit them yet and I f I do they will need a small amount of fabric repair in the usual places.
The car definately needs lowering and this will be done in the next couple of weeks, for now she will be my everyday car until I make my final decision and start working on it.
Thanks for all the positive comments, as for grilles, lights, wheels and the rest of the bits, for now they will stay as they are, because 'I' like them.... :D
Oh and come on Ben, spill them beans about Will F :lol:
Stanton
24-11-03, 11:16 PM
let me know about the checked seats m8?
Well that lasted long :!:
Some twat in a white van decided to drive in to the side of Brownie tonight. :evil:
Pulled over and stopped, got to the drivers door, which he then locked and started to drive off :o Not before I put my fist through the fcuking window first :twisted:
So, my drivers door is bent in, deep scrapes in area around fuel filler and on door post, and about 3-4mm depth of rear wheel arch missing :evil:
And I didn't get his number plate as it was dark and badly lit :x
Ohh sh!t sorry to hear that :(
