iv'e recieved the first part of my claim after the accident
that wrote my nova off today.(see further down).
so i went lookin for a new shell to get started on.
i saw an advert " mk1 nova 1.3sr ltd edition ?700"
i went and had a look and ended up getin it for ?400.
it needs a fair bit of work but the money i saved i can use to get every part mint.
my origional plan was to mod it the same as my other one but i havn't got the heart to do it coz mk1s are getin a bit harder to come by.
instead i'm gonna restore it, get some speedlines and chrome, tune the engine.i'm gonna use this as my main car and then buy another nova to totally custom mod again.
not bad for a 20yr old car.

Lovely looking car. Take a damn good look at it mate, if you honestly think your custom one looked better than your SR, i'd have doubts about your mental stability!

Restore it and drive another shed daily!
