Here we have my nova GSi W.I.P bought back in april not running suspected gearbox trouble (which turned out to be a broken driveshaft when i got it to work). So had to get the rac to bring it back from newcastle. lol

As it was, when i picked it up.
Engine spec standard 2.0 8v out of a cavalier sri
Tigra 15's
Nova euro rear light (twin reverse)
No Indicators
Sideskirts behind the seats
Silly 5 inch 'JAP' backbox

Here is how i bought it
