from what i understand, it needed the whole engine bay sorted, it has had a bad repair in the past with a badly fitted cross member, and its also had rear end paint as the window surrounds are covered in overspray

Sports/Convertible, crappy ebay grouping. Although I hardly thing a Nova GSi is considered "sports" lmfao

Having said that, you do get some crap in that category as misguided owners often think their sheds are "sports" when they're far from it.

So did keith firebomb their house and kill the cat? I would have done!

the red gsi does seem a bit too good to be true, without lowering any nova - rear arches can last as long as 18, 19 years etc..
Clever engine bay shot - too arty; maybe hiding inner wings and battery tray, then no under boot carpet pics and its always worth checking rear valence behind bumper too.. could just be shiney shiney where visible, exactly how my old gsi ended up being..
News about keith's white sr?? - im suprised, i was really up for buying that one myself, would have fallen for it too.. if whats mentioned is the case..

Turns out my mates not interested anymore, hes keeping his current car! Gutted :(

Im just hoping it doesnt go to someone that will spoil it, nothing should be touched imo. Even the standard wheels should stay, and the dealer sticker.

send the guy an email about the car, just asking a few general euestions, his reply

Dont have anymore pictures of the engine bay. As for paint work if it had any it would of been carried out by the main dealer many years ago. The car is all the same colour under street light. Im no expert so feel free to come and have a look.

not as detailed a reply as ive had liked,

for a lad that doesnt know much he knows where they rot eg doors arches
but yet doesnt show a proper pic of the engine bay...
the rear arches do look painted... way to fresh for a 85,000 car unless it was drove in a cocoon lol
