Both look awsome. welcome to the site :wink:

[Col_Mk1]

mint :P

[Philsutton]

very nice, wish i had a runabout :( got three novas an all are in pieces at the moment

[dan-hipgrave]

looks good mate - like the box arches on the saloon, looks so much better. Bet it flies along - what sort of 0-60 time is that giving? i bet it embarasses a lot of supercars :D

[MattNova]

both very smart, that saloon is mint, only 1 ive ever seen that i liked, looks like a escort mk1
welcom btw

[andy16vturbo]

0-60 just under 5 secs, would be quicker but it spins like fuck.

used to top out at about 150 but ive got an f28 6 speed box waiting to go in :lol:

[epo]

how do they mate

they both looks awsome but really like the salloon

[jame5]

thats some power from a wee nova well done mate.

It can just get better next time around

Well done.

Beautiful Saloon!! I like that as much as the Mk1 astra Turbo in Maroon!

Only thing i don't like is the bonnet, IMO a carbon fibre jobbie would look awesome! :D

[-Bruce-]

that saloon looks great seen it before on the site. are they front arches on the rear?? why have you not used the rear arches on the back??
looks great though

[Nick]

Those are 2 superb nova's, the sallon is especially nice !

Cheeky fook tho, having another 2.0 as your everyday runabout ! i dream about just owning 1

ahh well. have u looked into fitting a Diff on the sallon, as no doubt that would improve the spinning that your expiriencing ?

[J4MES]

both amazing cars!!! but the saloon is something else, makes me want to get one!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Adam Moran]

Looks really smart Andy - could you pm or post the engine spec of the turbo lump? Cheers

[MechaT]

[Rob77]

As all have said; lovely cars mate!

That is one mean saloon!

Sweet paint colour!

Rob.

[burgo]

Loving them both.

[tom_beverley]

best saloon ive seen and your runabout looks amazing aswell

Im jealous! :lol:

[RJM25R]

I think the saloon is HIDEOUS! Vary "Max Power" bolt-on...

Am I the only one to think this????

The hatch is lovely though, very understated....

[andybishop]

Cracking Pair of Nova's, wish i had one complete nova...... not just a shell and a pile of bits!

[ollster]

can relate to that andy:

[Ben]

I cant see how the Saloon is max power whatsoever. its very subtle (except the scoop) but it all works.

Not my type of thing but looks very well built.

[peester]

neither are ott; very impressive. ex. total vaux feature, no?
nice one - never seen at the shows though mate?

[RJM25R]

Sorry mate, just my opinion!!! It's things like the bonnet vent, the mirrors and the bad boy bonnet. They are all good mods, but put together, it's just not y style.

I do like your hatch though

[andy16vturbo]

total vaux featured sept 2002. was 260 brake and scooby blue then though. got full bair shell rebuild with half leather trim, big install, etc now. cost me a foooooooookin fortune, but it keeps me off the drink!.....

well, no it doesnt anyway LOL

[andy16vturbo]

ha! theres my ugly mug!!!! :D

[DrivingSpanner]

Nova Hatch rear arches hows that done on yours then, cut from an old hatch, panel beaten, coach built or just loadsa filler??? looks good however its been done

[andy16vturbo]

the body work was done by one of my best mates. its the only thing i personally havnt done to that car.

its all done properly. minimum filler.

the arches are actually front wings chopped and welded into place.

So how the hell did you manage to do that and keep it looking ok round the fill cap area,where it dips for the cap?

scott

[andy16vturbo]

ive got pics some where of us doing it but i dont have a scanner. it was all pieced and welded. real work of art when done.

i,ll try and get the pics on
