[lee coley]

lots of life in that

[16v Nova Kev]

try t cut lol

[Dave.]

i opened the boot and it fell apart in my hand slol, and shortly after that pic was thaken the drivers door started to seperate itself from the car lol

[lee coley]

bit like my old nova!!

[16v Nova Kev]

are you going to bin it then

[Riggy]

just a little dead lol

[Iain]

Rat look...

[mowgli]

one word.......DONOR

[John]

Seriously dave mk1 gte's are now rarer than the proverbial. Why not post pics on mk1oc and see what you can salvage for them guys.

[Rich]

Those seats are well comfy, i bought an old opel kadett sr a while back most comfy seats ive sat in i think! Put em in your nova

[Jack]

Rat look...
Took the words right out of my mouth. I've seen VWs on the road in worse condition than that lol

Shame one of the arch trims is missing, that would suit a saloon perfectly.

Although I do want the headlamp washers! :D

[Christ]

would that be the 18E head?

[Dave.]

amazingly it runs lmao. had the whole engine reconed a while ago. i want the washer jets aswell to flog on lol.. as i know they fit a mk1 bumper

[chimp007_uk]

they're similar recaros to what were fitted to my manta gte... comfy as and so supportive. far better than the nova gte/gsi seats.

i just sold mine, guy got a bargain :(

[Dave.]

are you going to bin it then

nope.. only one on the yard.. so wil probs be going round the back in the private breakers bit :thumb:

[philly]

that will be worth money to someone, hell if i had somewhere to keep it id have it.

[Mike.]

its a crying shame its ended up like that, but it'll have some good parts on it still surely

[Dave.]

well.. the whole rear drivers 1/4 has rotted away, literally, the bonnet is about th snap into a thousand pieces, its truley a rot box, chassis is very close to snapping, the scrap yard even scared of lifting it up incase the roof seperates from the car lol

[Christ]

must be worth a bit for the engine, isnt that the dizzy you need to find to run bike carbs etc on an xe?

[stuartyj21]

abit of T.L.C and it would be back ot new. some time on the bodywork(5 years) then some elbow grease and a buff it will be as good as newlol

[Jack]

i want the washer jets aswell to flog on lol.. as i know they fit a mk1 bumper
If/when you do, let me know. I'd be very interested in buying them off you :thumb:

[Dave.]

will do jack :thumb: providing someone hasnt allready swiped them lol

are the seats worth anything? and will the rear seats fit a nova?

[Mike]

Dave, can you salvage me the airfilter box please cheif :thumb:

[Adz The Rat]

Ive sold worse haha

[mowgli]

it still gets me nostalgic, I owned three mk1's.. If anyone finds a decent mk1 estate, let me know cos I've always thought it would make a fine pickup conversion, & the big block engines fit in really easily.

[loggyboy]

Is that a GTE??? and INJECTION??

[Jack]

Whatever gave you that idea lol

[meritlover]

a pressure wash and a T cut it wont look so bad. then carpet shampoo the interior and it will not be looking so bad. you are so quick to judge this poor car. i think it should be saved from the nasty scrap yard and go to someone that is has nice feelings and sympathy for such an old classic car. that is indeed very rare and complete!!

[just vaux trev]

i agree it should be saved and also if i had the space i would be on the phone now love mk1's im sure you have space dave

[SRimon]

Looking at it i highly doubt it could be saved...

Parts however are going to be very useful for some mk1 owner.

[burgo]

that poor car. always loved these but i think that one is abit to far gone to be saved

[Ryan5cyl]

How easy is it to get replacement panels for these nowadays?

[raymond]

you cant really my brother is struggling to get parts for his

why didnt you tell me about this dave my bro still needs a few bits which scrappers is it in

[Riggy]

haydock one damo

[alan b]

id say the arches and things woud be worth a few bob. have them seats in my nova! there the same seats as mantas just different material/pattern, i fitted mine using manta subframes and a lump hammer!

[Martin]

dave whaats the deal with the engine?

[raymond]

haydock one damo

Do they sell full cars carl he his after buying it lol

[mayhem]

:( sorry to see that gte, quite rare here.

is the engine the same as in the early astra mk2 gte?? cuase in that case i want the oil pan

[staggy_gsi]

what an absolute waste.........

love the mk1's. a guy round here is selling a red gte, think he wants around ?1500 for it

[Dave.]

damo's brothers provisionally bought it as a whole! she will not be crushed.. yet lol
