The shell is amazing so may keep it for a bit of a track toy :lol:

[krobinson]

Yeah, steven owned that.. was selling it quite cheap if i remember correctly..

Paintwork looks a bit shabby, but i'm sure u's dont care lol..

That badboys on ebay too isnt it?

Keith

[Ben]

Yes bought it off Steve, some of the paintwork is bad in places.

He was selling the Bonnet on Ebay but has removed it now.

I have just been up the scrapyard to collect a new Bonnet as need to do quite a bit to the engine etc so will need to keep opening and closing wich is a tad difficult with that one on as my hands are quite big :lol:

Also the bonnet needs painting and i dont have a garage to keep the car in so need to store it inside.

[Dicko]

passenger seat 1 side has collapsed?

[Ben]

The seats have been swapped round at some point so the passenger side was the drivers side and is in a very poor state, my Girlfriend is having them repaired and putting them in her GTE, just need to find a Black leather bench to match.

[Dare-devil]

Very nice looking Nova. :wink:

[NovaNeil]

I wandered why that bonnet had been taken off E-Bay.... I was going to bid for that.... Oh well

[dave.gsi]

ben if you're selling the rims give me a shout :wink:

[AnThoNYnOvA]

on the top pic is that leak off the car?

[YellowTurbo]

LOL.....yeah, you must get that leak fixed in the side skirt ;)

[Mark]

Cool!

[Ben]

We are selling a lot of the parts of off it and then maybe using it for a track car next year, not quite sure yet.

Will is having the speedlines (main reason we wanted it)
My Girlfriend is having the seats

The bonnet, tailgate possibly the bumpers will be up for sale once replacments are sourced. Might put the bonnet on ebay as have already had 4 PM's about it off friends so might be the fairest option.

Steve, i want my money back you never said the sideskirt leaked :lol:

[YellowTurbo]

ill send you some rad weld sort it right out :)

[Will F]

I wont crash it! :o
I am not getting into another debate about your woeful driving, but lets just say, if anyone is going to crash it, it wont be me :P

I reckon we make it into a right sleeper, with GTE bumpers, tailgate, interior etc, then flog all the parts we remove.
I want the wheels, due to the spanking new tyres and the fact I can get refurbs for 15p.

Watch this space.

[Will]

15p??

wheres that then, lmfao

[Will]

why did steve sell it? :?

[Ben]

lol @15p His dads mate refurbs them for free for him if he gets the tyres off.

I think Steve just got fed up with sinking money into it, he gave us a box folder full of recipts for everything he had ever spent on the car. It has some annoying problems with it that would take more time and money to fix.

We have most of the spares needed to sort it out so will start to sort them over the next couple of months.

The clutch is slipping like mad.
The chassis leg wasnt nocked in to clear the altenator.
There is no door card on the drivers side
The glovebox front is broken
The petrol guage and speedo dont work

And a few others i cant think of.

[hendrix]

I wanted the doors off that!!! :evil:
Oh well guess ill have to get some others and spray them!!!

[Ben]

Buy my white ones :lol:

Please nobody email me about parts off this car am getting fed up with people asking for bits, im not breaking it.

The only parts for sale are on ebay and there is a link in the for sale section (bonnet, tailgate,spoiler), if we do sell other parts i will advertise them.

[Will F]

15p covers petrol.

They arent even that bad, but for free, I would get anything refurbed! :P
