Takin chelles nova for an MOT tomorrow, i know its gonna fail but i wanna see what it fails on. The most obvious will be the great big hole in the boot :o
Spending more time sorting her car than my own but i seem to have lost all faith in mine :roll:

the car failed :cry:
no supprises there then :o
It needs lots of welding. Failed on:
N/S and O/S suspension tops to inner wings corroded to excess
N/S and O/S chassis legs corroded to excess
N/S front wheel bearing worn to excess
Service brake low effort 48%
Rear boot corroded to excess.
Atleast its not as bad as me SRi last year :roll:
All the work is getting done on the car tomorrow, gonna cost chelle a pretty penny :roll:

Is it even worth fixing, it is probably gonna cost more than another Nova if you have to pay a garage to do it.

lol at riggy. and dont worry epo mate no need to feel guilty i bought the car knowing it needed shit loads doing to it. point is i love the colour and the whole car basically and other than the shit that needs doin to it,its well tidy. :!:
besides took it to andreas's mates tonight hes a mechanic and its gonna get sorted for bout ?100-?150 so in my mind its worth it seeing as tho it only cost me ?100 which is dead cheap in the first place....and im sure u guys have spent loads more on ur novas!
