totally down to you mate, can you paint? cheap paint supplies on ebay depending on what colour choice you want. looks like youve spent to much time and money to give up! i did with my old one i deeply regret it now run my credit cards dry trying to sort it :(

i can see alot of time has been spent on the car, and i respect that. sadly it's not my cup of tea, except the engine... :)

i'm not going to be much help but it depends if you need the money that urgently... if it was me and i'd spent all that time etc building a car i like i dont think i could break it...

sorry i'm not much more help...

u never get the same/more money out of selling stuff than you did buying/constructing it but entirely up to you, everyone that says sell probably wants something haha

i have to admit that is once strange choice of engine for a nova, never seen that before with a turbo too, what performance has it got?

Keep it.

Paul

i agree you should keep it.

I think that 99% of people will agree on here, when we say that the kit ruins the Nova etc. However, yours is so different and not just stuck on bumpers i think it looks very good.

Be total one off when finished, keep going....

how? not to sound rude, but he's only asking people fo ideas on what to do...

Stuart
20-02-07, 04:49 PM
a) if he wants to see if it will sell, the put it up for sale or dont bother asking
b.) if he wants to break, put parts up to see if people will buy
c) his car i dont care what he does with it, but if pondering getting rid, see A and B
