Wheres the bonnet?!
still a 1.6 8v turbo?
that was based around london has it been sold on then? lol
Thats Chris Wards old car. Not sure he still comes on here, might do on the odd occasion. It's a very nice car. Bonnet is probably off because the engine bay is immaculate, chrome or polished stainless whereever you look pretty much.

I think its quite a nice car but here's some comments from the site it was posted on:
"Finally, here we have the winner of the biggest bonnet vent award. all i can think of is that he sold the bonnet to but a 12" sub...."
"More worringly so, its not my taste at all, but this Nova's quite clean and tidy! Still, I hope the rain fucks the engine up a bit."
"That Nova looks like it must have had some serious engine work done, so maybe there is some additional performance.
Would love to know what the engine is in that thing as it appears to have an intercooler and uprated radiator."
"if you squint at the nova its a SOHC engine in there, so its not the calibra turbo engine, its either the gte/gsi 1.6 with a turbo, or the 2lt8v from a cav with a turbo.
stupid either way as its still a nova " all quotes from barryboys.co.uk
why is there such a contrast in novas, people love to hate them

there are some funny cars on barryboys, this ones alright though.
when ever you read their comments they never seem to know much about cars. i dont thinks theres anything wrong with making your car more powerful and different within reason, they seem to think completely standard and less powerful is better. everyones entitled to their own opinion i guess but then again id rather be unique individual than a sheep.
what did you expect from barry boys
ffs
LOLOLOL
aye that was Chris W's - thought UI recognised the uber chromed engine.
I like it - lots of work.
LOL - remember at trax a couple of years ago when Ian threatened to throw a cup of water over the engine bay - watch him panic as hre tried to stop it staining!

thats a nice car, alot of work has gone into it, egnore the barryboys, they'd take the piss out of a milk float with a sticker saying 'milk' on it
looks smart to me maybe needs some side skirts
Take the Bumpers off it, replace them with Grey SRi items, put a set of Speedlines on it, teach it to ccook dinner and i'd gladly marry it!!
