Ive been quietly sitting on this one for nearly two weeks now but im soooo pleased with myself as i noticed a rather clean looking E-plate star silver nova near my girlfriends a couple of months back, and after having a sly spy everytime i drove by worked out that its an original condition 1.3SR with all four wheel trims still intact and none kerbed lol, well it came up for sale saturday before last so i went for a nosey, the wings are poorly and so are the rear arches, but the sills are fine, cross-member looks fine engine starts first click, its got 2reg`d owners as its been in the same family since new, 60k with full vaux history, and its the tartan/burberry style check interior and its sooo clean inside hehe, i pick it up friday tea time and i cant wait lol was gonna wait till got pics but im gettin excited so didnt wanna lol!!!!:thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Ahh that may hinder your chances of playing out in it somewhat lol, you`ll have to give us a shout when she back out to play, saw it close up once and in passing once and looked very good both times!!!

Mikey if that thing is going for a respray after the block has been fitted, get all the bay & lump masked up for gawds sake!

I did mine in that order & the overspray & dust on my powder coated & chromed bits was a nightmare.

not sending it away for paint, same as last time it'l be getting done with rattle cans, as it only needs a few bits touching up.
