Need to pick up some bits at the weekend, hopefully mine will be on the road but need to know if i'll be able to fit them all in?

Need to collect a Nova Boot, 4x 16" wheels and a pair of GSi bumpers.

Do you reckon i'll get them all in?

Hatchback? The tailgate might be a bit of a squeeze...

if your taking any passengers id say no

the boot will be abit of a squeese, alloys can go in the foorwells, fold the passenger front seat down aswell as the rear seats, should get the bumpers in ontop of the boot :thumb:

No passengers!

I might strip it out for no reason anyway, just dash and drivers seat and see what the ickle 1.2 goes like lol lol lol

So you reckon i'll get that lot IN one then? Coolio;)

EDIT: A hatchback bootlid will go in through the boot though on my 3door hatch?

Im pretty sure Tony SR bought a hatch off me and we squuezed it in sideways with no issues (back seats folded flat).

Strip the rear seats, lie the passeger seat down, place the bumpers in on the passenger seat, place the 4 wheels in a square, 2 in boot 2 over tank, lay some towels/sheets over them, slide the tailgate over. JOB DONE.

You'll find theyll fit piece of pish. I had two Nova doors complete with glass, a bonnet, two front wings, a boot complete with glass, an intercooler, a fuel tank, a GTE kit AND me and Baxter in my old Corsa.

I was thinking "thats not much" until I saw you had Baxter in there too lol

This thread reminds me of Scott having most of his Nova in the back of Dar's Monty at Cheltenham :D
