The bumpers are an easy swap......the side brackets are slightly different though but are easy to figure out.

The dash is a straight swap too.

As for the interior, and saloon seats will fit in your saloon but hatch ones are different.....fronts are fine, but the rear one doesn't fold in the saloon and hence fasten in differently
You could re-trim your original seat to match if need be....e.g if you wanted GSi front seats and also wanted the rear to match.

I haven't seen hardly any modified Nova Saloons even in Max power , Revs, Fastcar. Mine?s a Black 2 dr and are getting rare here I like the shape of the 2 dr than 4dr and the Engine and gearbox are perfect and just 125,524 genuine miles on them but the car was never taken above 60Mph if at all and was serviced by opel main dealers until i got it

The only things that were got by the previous owner was a new clutch and water pump and right headlamp and I got the car for free

Theres a lot of nice looking bumpers , maybe a scooby vent with GSI vents ,
Mangels Tigris alloys , Dimma fuel cap , GSI side skirts, mud flaps
Red.Dot Quickshift gear linkage, sparco strut brace, Induction kit,
Full 90-91 dashboard , Momo cobra gearnob&Momo Fighter or Runner steering wheel,
carbon fibre flim, alloy sill protectors and alloy door pins with leds ,
Momo handbrake handle&gaiter, Corbeau targa sport seats,
smoked front indicators and smoked tail lights,film tinted windows,
I?m not sure about a roof spoiler but a boot spoiler yes
Flush tailgate . Maybe a rear big bore exaust box
Full respray in some solid blue color I?ve seen too many metallics gone wrong
Drivers side window glass due to vandal damage
I can?t lower it because of the speed bumps where i live
i have a fairly good sound system already waiting

And then i should have a fairly nice Nova saloon

Does anyone know if Nitrous oxide effects insurance costs or would this blow a 1.0 litre to pieces or just be useless. Its a 1.0 litre because of Irish rip-off insurance charges.

Thanks

And some Microscan electric window and remote central locking kits

Nitrous will increas your insurance by quite a bit, it would also need an engineers report on fitting to be accepted by some insurers.
Its not worth spending ?500 on the nitrous, it would be cheaper to get a 1.3/1.4SR or GTE engine and do a full conversion, then you get power all the time, it will also cost less to run then nitrous because you keep needing to re-fill the canister.

Hope that helps,

Thanks Cris & rich dale

But i can't go over 1.0 litre at the moment as I'm under 25 and I'm already doing a scam with the insurance ;) i give my dad the money for insurance who owns a 99 3.0 v6 supercharged physco toyota camry sport he is the main policy holder of my nova known as a Opel Corsa here since 1983 but anyone with a licence can drive it so thats means me so instead of IR?4000 third party I'm paying bout IR?1,000 still mad but better :D .

Anyone know if i could take a 5 speed gearbox from a 90's Nova 1.0 saloon/Hatch and put it on my 4 speed 1985 Nova 1.0 saloon would this be a straight swap or a total bitch to get on .

cos i once put a mk3 escort CVH 1.3 engine on a 1.0 fiesta box and it worked but a few weeks later it broke the drives so that was the end of that
