i tryed to get a nova from walden. it started about a year ago with him saying he could get them from ireland. i waited and waited and he said hed got some and said o ill have them next week, oh next week oh next week untill he said oh we took them across but they were too roten. he said it was his supplyer in ireland that couldnt find any or somthing and when he did they were no use. he said hed try and get another supplier but i wouldnt bet on it. i wouldnt get your hopes up theres no easy way to get a cleen nova, just the right place at the right time or a few days graft with sheet metal and a welder.

but if you think you can find clean novas id get in contact with walden, he goes over there with his rally cars and would pick them up on the trailer and bring them back. he told me he needed a new contact in ireland that cn arrange and find the cars for him.

i found a clean nova in this contry before nigel got a shell from ireland.

there not advertised anymore, you see them behind houses etc
thing is oul 1s dont like sellin them as most have had them since new and think there the best thing ever....
thing is they are gettin really hard got,ireland had a scrapage scheme bout 6 years ago and most corsa a were scrapped, the amount of minters that were scraped would make you cry...
it was a government thing so the scrap yards couldnt sell them, they had to crush them...

whos walden??

would you guys prefer old models or newer models??

http://www.waldenengineering.co.uk/

if you get any nova thats a minter i dare say someone would cut there arm off for it.

how come if you go on ebay ireland or autotrader there arnt any for sale . the only ones you get are rally cars.

because there isnt many people interested in novas at the moment in ireland, therefor **** all of a market for standard novas as they cost a bomb to build as parts eg gsi parts are very hard if not impossible to come by so lads just buy them finishd from the uk or in some cases buy a rotten gsi in the uk and reshell it in2 mint corsa a shell and paint it....
good gsi novas never hang around long when they do come up for sale and unfortunatly red top novas are impossible to insure due to irelands ridiculas insurance, any lads with good gsi then wont sell them because of there rareity, if any1 knows of rotten gsi with good engine and bumpers etc id be interestd in doin a deal...

most good 1s are lyin at the bk of peoples houses in the country, ie very hard to find even for me and never advertised....

so if i put them for sale here lads and show extensive pics ye would be interestd in payin good money for them, i will give you my word they have never seen a welder in there life...

would ya prefer old models or new models lads?

Dod used to have a collection of Novas over in Donegal, but the last time i spoke to him they were going for 4000 euros!

The tax system in Ireland is pathetic, it would've cost me something like ?3k to tax my Monza over there!

I found my latest near mint nova 5 mins down the road from me in some bloke's back garden.
I got it for ?60 so a bargain and has never seen a welder and does'nt need to.
They are out there and as said before you just got to be in the right place at the right time.
