tee he he he... I bought a new nova.

Its a 1986 Vauxhall nova in Deep Red, 44000 Mile from new 2 owners last owner had the nova for 7 years. Full service history from new its a base model 1.0 but the shell... its an absolute stunner.

I'll get some Pikkies up shortly :D

Same that was planned for the nova SR although, I wont be rallying it...

I'm going to build the base up, then get a bigger engine.
Ideally Full re-spray (prolly do myself) and waxoil/underseal to keep things nice and tidy. From there, Stripped, Cage, seats ;)

If it were to be a complete minter. Wouldn't it be better to go against the grain and keep it totally standard?? I know this sounds daft but Ive seen low milage 1.0 Dart saloons go for lots n lots.

Bare it in mind before the C20 gets dropped in mate.
