Early reg cars tend to age a little better with less rust.

They're the shells to get ;)

well good news all round today !

having insured the nova this week it was time for the dreaded mot, booked it in and took the afternoon of work to take it in!

turned up and the guys face was a picture "a ****ing b reg nova lets see this then!"

but he was very very very suprised he said " its the best nova structurally i ve ever seen" its never been welded never seen any under seal, copper brake pipes are like brand new


so it passed by 4.10pm (having taken it in at 3) it is now mot'd for 12 months!!!!!!!!!

it went straight through i couldnt believe it i expected it to fail on something as it is 22 years old after all, but nope.....NOTHING! :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

suppose im going to have to keep it now:cool: :cool: :cool:
