Just bought a mk1 nova with a redtop engine. The guy has supplied the mk2 headlights and indicators, wings and grille so i can change the front end to a mk2. Is there anything else I need? Do the headlights just bolt straight on? Also I would like to fit a mk2 dash. Is there anything hard about this? Also I would like to fit electric windows and central locking so what models of nova's came with central locking and electric windows.
Thanks

and also does anyone know what my ruff 0-60 time would be? sure its a standard redtop with a F16 gear box. The old owner said its done a 14.4 quarter miles but i dont think this is true?
Hey, Everything should bolt straight on. as for leccy windows, try lookin in srappies for some. Most of the sporty models,sri, gtes that has cl and ew.

thanks mate, will have a look at the local scrappy on my way home.
Realistically 0-60 is top 5's (if youre lucky) to early 7's!
14.4 quarter is a good time and can be achieved!
mk2 SRs had e/w and c/l also
Dash conversion is not too bad or tricky
There's a guide on Nova Land (http://www.nova-land.com) for changing the dash. Just remember the Heated RW/Blower switch needs some of the wires swapping round lol
