(Sorry only pic i got at the moment)

Im just wondering do you think its worth about the ?900 mark ?

It has a 1.8 16v conversion engine
(But i will be looking to put a 1 litre in for insurance )

It has the following modifications:
Full stainless exhaust,
K&n Induction kit,
Clear lights all round,
Smooth boot,
Smoothed doors,
De-locked & De-handled,
Evo vented bonnet,
Tinted windows,
Single wiper,
Full Ai606 alarm,
Buckets and harnesses,
Chrome gearknob & so on,
Some sounds,
Soundproofed,
and lowered.

It need a new front wing,New front bumper and a new set off alloys.

Do you thinks its worth it ?

My mate is selling it and im very interested :?:

When you say is it worth it? Is it worth what?:

Masturbation - No
?100 - Yep
?500 - Yep
?5000 - No

Try to be a bit more precise in your question and you might get a sensible answer.

Your best off finding a standard 1.0 or 1.2. If you were to buy that and put a 1.0 in it, Insurance is still going to spank you for having loads of styling mods, as this is what attracts the thieves attention, unless they know whats under the bonnet.

Look in autotrader and try and find a good condition 1.0 or 1.2. At least then you can stle it how you want.

And to be honest i was thinking off buying it and just stripping it,
As it has the normal rust here and there.
And it all the mods on the car come to about 2 grand
so it be cheaper to mod my nova :lol:

you'd be cheaper buying a 1ltr and doing it up than trying to convert it back to a 1ltr froom a 1.8 16v. You'll need to pish aboot with the electrics, drive shafts etc etc etc...

Not worth the agro.

It looks nice (except for the sun strip and spoiler) but if you need a new wing that means it'll need respraying and it probably wont be an exact match. Also - the amount of mods on the car already body kit wise it wont matter wot engines in it coz most insurance comapnies will charge you a packet especially if yer under 25 with next to no No Claims Bonus. The body kit will be seen as an attraction to thieves so they'll nick it regardless of the engine. Its a target.

I'd stay clear - it gives the impression of a ragged motor - but I could be wrong.

If youve just passed your test get a cheapy Nova (1.2 or 1.4 merit or similar) take it easy for a year (and have a couple of crashes) and then start to mod it.

If you do buy it make sure you tell the insurance all the mods otherwise you'll be driving illegally and theres heavy penalties nowadays for having void insurance. The main one being they will take your car from you there and then and take it to be crushed. :o And most people (us included) dont wanna get hit by a driver who couldnt be arsed declaring all mods.
