My new car

[Philsutton]

Right well i said i didnt want another nova but this one came up and had to have it. Its a 1984 1.2 swing, its done 30000 miles from new, beenowned by two old guys that have barely used it. The whole shell is solid and the only rust is a bit on the rear sill where they all go, but its ever so clean unlike most novas you see.

And i only paid 120 for it, bargin i think. The plans for it are to get a 2lt turbo lump for it an but it in leaving every thing else as it is even the 2 spokes if i can get away with it. :D

Its far to slow as it is, a big truck out accelerated me last night lol.

[General Baxter]

well they will feel slow to him :lol:

[Philsutton]

ive been driving a 2lt nova for well over a year now an going into a 1.2 doesnt feel nice. I mean i have to re think pulling out of junctions as i dont have the power to get out the way if someone comes hamering it round the corner, or even go up steep hills with out dying

[Col_Mk1]

[elsey197]

Mint, a good base for a turbo monster :D

[mikey14sr]

nice front bumper phil, the whole car reminds me of my first nova, a B reg 1.2L in star silver, good to see that one hasn't got the horrible orange tartan interior

[Philsutton]

it might not have the orange interior, but it does have the nasty brown an cream one

[ANDYRACER]

Bloody hell Phil, that is mint and for 120 quid that is a bargain. I really really need to go looking for these clean novas. Just throw a XE in for now beats having the 1.2 :lol:

[Philsutton]

have you not seen the turbo lump im only hours away from winning? :D

[ANDYRACER]

Hey u never told me about u actually bidding on a turbo. :roll: That will be a beast with a turbo in. :lol:
