This is my Nova SX which i just got back on Saturday after selling it to a friend last summer. Story goes that 2 weeks after i sold it he crashed into the back of a post van, he decided to swap the Nova for a ?200 Skoda! The car was passed about various people after that. I regretted selling it the second i saw it drive away but i was wanting an Astra GTE at that point.
i managed to find the guy who had the Nova and asked if he would sell, he said he would so we agreed a price. Went up to Elgin on saturday and had a look at it and it was in better shape than it was last time i saw it, still needs welding though which just shows it dosent take long for an old car to rust if its not looked after!

This is the car before i sold it last year

Looks tidy, although a normal front plate would make it better. ;) Good work on tracking it down to buy it back!

iv always liked the splitter and the exhaust, just seems different from the usual i suppose.

it did have a renault espace splitter on the front but it seems to have disapeared so im wanting to put another one on at some point

Not keen on the rear splitter, just doesnt look like its meant to be there, esp with the cut out for twin tail pipes.

Shame its fallen into disrepair etc, but most Novas have gone that way. Sort out the fr end & good luck with the panel fit.
