After unwillingly parting with my nova (winter was going to kill it - sell it while its worth money) i have now bought a 1996 Golf
looks ok, but will always miss the nova.....

Hmmm hate to see another Nova sold on but the golf probably has air con, power steering, heated front windscreen and abs?
Probably makes sense for the winter time.

They're not too bad cars.
My gf's friend has a Golf gti collection in yellow the same shape as yours.
Colour coded leather seats.

That'll be lovely mate.. make sure you post some pics as your going.
Is it a Gti? 8v?
I quite like the Mk3's, was nearly tempted by a 3dr VR last year :)
^^^^^^^^

lol. the build quality on them golfs are good. i had a 1.3 mk2 golf and that was slow as fook lol
Mk3s are safe as houses in a smash, well built and don't rot too bad, miles away from the Nova! I prefer a mk2 to the mk3 though, simply as its lighter and more nimble

its a totally different experience driving the golf to driving the nova
nova had Bilstein gas shocks, lowered 60mm, Strut brace, front ARB, 195/40/16-pirelli's and handled like fook
golf has 205/40/17's-nankang lol, lowered 40mm on springs only (one is broken lol) and the car weighs about 17tonnes........ oh and has 15-20bhp less - rapid:roll:
Looks nice, i'd loose the M3's, although i dont know what standard golf mirrors look like,Lol.
