Most of what you want shud be available at a local scrappy. If not try Carquip on 01366 324318 - not the cheapest but they are reliable as I have found. If you browse other Nova sites there other firms doing similar mostly based in England tho'.

The fuel sender is problematic on Novas. If it works then you are laughing. You can take the instrument panel apart quite easily to get rid of condensation. Get a copy of Haynes cos you'll need guidance to get at it.

As rgds the welding - easiest is to go to a few friendly local garages and ask for a quote or get friendly with someone who can weld up cars OK

Oh and there is always Novatrader on here for sourcing stuff

got this magazine called car mechanics n theyre currently doing up a 1.2 nova. they use this company called auto-vaux tel 0870 264 7855 or www.autovaux.co.uk
Some of the prices theyre quoting for parts are really cheap.

e.g timing belt - vauxhall original ?12.40 - autovaux ?6.95

Most stuff is dead cheap and cant be bad if a car mechanics mag is promoting it!
Where bouts in central scotland u from?
