My Nova

[ben doodar]

hello. i thought id share a few pictures of my car with you all, thanks to the lads at work who have shown me how to post the pictures here!
i bought it in july 2006, i think.
when i got it home i put it in the garage and started to prep the bodywork, it had both door locks broken into, all 4 corners off the bumpers scuffed, black wings, poorly de-baged bonnet, it had replacement rear arches that had been filled by a novice and painted with a rattly tin, was genrally in a poor state. i spent a month or so working on it, primed it myself then sent it to a local bodyshop for the paint. (sorry about picture quality was taken with my phone) i will try to put some better quality pictures up later.
