My Project Nova

[djlife]

Hello all, I've been here a while but only signed up a while back. I thought you'd be interested to see my project lol

Im 17 and brought a Nova 1.0 (993cc) Life 3dr for ?50 for my first car I thought really hard about it because if I didnt buy it off a friend it was going to these s***heads who were going to run it out and burn it.

I've done miner work as yet but hopefully it will be back and looking sweet asap lol.

This is the nova:

Just had a quick look and theres one tiny hole about 1inch across in the front corner of the chassis. thats it, not all bad for a 15 year old car lol.

Great its only gone and p*ssed it down and that patch has managed to hold most of it out and could anyone give me the name of some filler that would work on the main chassis please, cheers.
