1989 1.4 SR at the start, now:
C20XE with F20
Twin 48 Carbs with filters using cav 1.6 set-up with armtech rev limiter
New facet fuel pump
Kent cams and verniers
Stainless system with over sized 4 branch
Stripped out with roll cage
Cobra Monaco buckets with 4 point harnesses
Spax RSX coilover/adjustables
Still to finish off roll cage, put new rear arches on it and paint the car inside and out but not sure what weather to keep it as I cant seem to get it running 100% Was rolling roaded at 190bhp a week ago after a tune up.

Like i said the car is not finished and really needs a tidy up but just a bit sick about spending to much money and still its not running right. The guy had it running really good but he was regulating the fuel alot as the fuel pump I had was too powerful and it was not getting enough fuel high up the revs but replaced the fuel pump now so maybe its worth another ?40 to see if he can set it up. Options are sell it whole, sell the carbs with the whole set up then get throttle bodies or try getting it set up again. I am not sure what anything is worth tho so any info would be good. The car is out of tax but mot'd till april

It's worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it. Personnaly I think you'll get more if you broke it.

Those pictures don't do the car any favours. If you gave it a clean and got some back to black on those bumpers it would look a lot better.

Personally i would break it if you did want rid.
But there is quite a few XE'd novas being broken at the minute.

As jim said, give it a good clean and polish, take some new pics, and then think of a price that you see fit as reasonable.
And put an AD up.

If you have no luck break it.

You might aswell get it running right after all the effort u have put into it. And there is more money to be made in breaking novas nowadays.
