Nova SRi

[SammyP]

I bought this Nova 3 months ago as a replacement for my ST200 with the intention of fitting a 2litre 16valve engine but since selling my ST200 I've wanted to get back behind the wheel of another Vectra. The car itself is solid, one of the few good Nova's left out there i.e. rust free boot, sills, engine bay area, slam panels etc... Only bits of rust are about 1cm of surface on the rear arches which I have touched up with Waxoil for the winter.
Last year the car underwent a complete strip down and re-build by GaryVaux of MIG having the engine bay painted, block painted, gear box painted, engine mounts painted, brake servo painted, fuel tank painted, sills rust proofed, inner front arches rust proofed amongst other things.
The engine in the vehicle has covered 30k and runs really well with good fuel consumption, cheap insurance and tax.
Below is the spec sheet and plenty of pictures of the rebuild and the car how it is now.
