Well after my last nova died a slow death, due to the tin worm, (it was gettin like a game of catch me if you can), i managed to get this little beauty for ?250, 1 owner, 67,000, and 6months MOT.

So i set about re-shelling the old one on to it, i changed the suspension for my lowered shocks and springs, fitted the anti roll bars, front and rear, and tried my gsi front bumper on for size

then yeaterday i stripped the old interior out, and gave it a good clean and vac inside. Im so happy with the condition of the shell its in really good condition. just needs a bit of tiding here and there, but on the whole very good. while all the carpets were out i decided to run all the speaker wires etc for my amp.

[richi]

looks nice and clean the new shell from the inside and out, no rust any where, looks like bargain to me, after something like that

[Novadex]

are you just swapping all your goodies across?

[Tim]

yeah im swapping most of my stuff on to the new shell, i have sold the abyss kit to someone on here, and the m3 mirrors. i will be replacing the kit with the GSI stuff that i have been collecting, oh and fitting an xe which i have had sitting around for nearly a year, lol.

i will also be fitting my standard stubby mirrors, which i made myself. and some custom rear lights which i have nearly finished thanks to long live the nova, cheers for the help adam.
