MK1 2DOOR SALOON PROJECT

[Mike.]

over the summer i'm going to try and build a old skool nova

PLANS
2 door saloon MOT failure or really cheap runner
full roll gage
bright paint job
small 13 or 14 inch wheels
bare engine by with either a 1.0 or 1.2 (got to be insurance friendly)
smooth body work

all this depends on cash flow and weather i can be botherd because i've got another nova that i'm moding up but i would really like it to happen what do u guys think? :D :D :D :D :D

id love to see a really nice 3 door saloon. not many have been done so would be a good project. i would may go for a 1300 sr engine insted of the 1000/1200 as it is a lot nippyer. good look with it mate

my car WAS a 1L and it was over 150miles away, did it not stop on the way back dont underestimate the power on a 1L :D

[Mike.]

i can't get down there tho
i'm only a learner driver at the mo

[Mike.]

ANY ONE ELSE GOT ANY IDEAS?

[J4MES]

use nova hatch arches instead of the round saloon ones, could look good, think i saw it on a mint coloured saloon years ago..
keep it smooth, no handles, locks, proper smooth boot, etc...
just keep it simple and smooth really

[Mike.]

THATS A IDEA MIGHT BE A BIT DIFFICULT THO :?
