Its not being modified at all, putting some 14 inch steelies on it from my old Corsa as they have brand new Michellins on them and thats it.

It is a Swing, all 45bhp of mean machine power.

Jack
02-09-05, 01:05 PM
Should be 55bhp shouldn't it? As its carb, not injection...

[edit] ignore me I'm talking out my arse, lol for some reason I keep thinking Swings are 1.2's not 1.0's.... :lol:

?1000, one of the best shells you will find.

TBH I would have to think twice before accepting that, won't find a car as realible and as cheap to run for 1k

the dont have any belts on those 1.0 so you never have to worrie about one snapping awsome car relible as long as you change the oil and plugs regular

Very nice mate . I,d keep it standard as well, just a good polish and treat it with auto glymns top coat shine to really protect it . I,ve often pondered on did I do the right thing modding mine ( the little thats been done ) and have decided the next motor stays original ( cept the sound system ) but then again its a personel option...

RETRO....!!

Nice buy if you want to go shopping once a week and pick up your pension.

@ the end of the day its a 20 year old 1.2 Nova with a sunroof, in reality you paid over the odds for it. Regardsless of condition its not worth a wank.

If it was a desirable model in that condition then get excited but its not a Sport or even GTE or GSi let alone an SR :!: Who collects 1.2 Merits :?: :?:

Who would want to buy it for serious money? The rally boys who are the only serious people that will buy a shell arent intrested due to the gaping great hole in the roof.

I will stick to looking for calibra turbo's in the local paper for ?80 :lol:
