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?

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
