i have only gone and sold my gsi and brought its bubble of a brother i.e corsa. But before you all go of on one like those that i already said something to already and end up giving it the i cant belive you sold your gsi for a corsa its seriously not your average corsa as you can see!
basicly i sold the gsi and needed something quickly so i had a look through ebay and i wanted something cheap reliable practical (mechanic that does alot of private work) and a little more modern. and then i found this!
gave the guy a ring and within 2 hours i was on my way home
i am buying another nova very shortly as a project basicly gonna rebuild another turbo like the 1 i built last time but aim for 350bhp and this is going to be my cheap runaround for the time beeing comments welcome
enjoy
the night i brought it still on stilts lol

brakes had a little bit 2 much travel in my opinion so i decided to clean and adjust the rear brakes but while i was there i found a nackered wheel cylinder so i ended up fitting 2 new wheel cylinders new set of shoes and cleaned and painted all the rear brakes aswell
