New Nove

[muzzy]

Heres my new Nova, its a 1.2 4 speed Nova Scotia!

Its on 80,000 miles and bar the rear arches and drivers door it is pretty mint.

Ive lined up a full stainless system, Laguna splitter, Nova GTE interior, GM Mudflaps, GSi Dials, -60mm Front springs & shocks, -90mm Rear springs & shortened shocks, GSi spoiler and ive got a set of 3 spokes.

Looks Good!, Those 3 spokes staying white? That pic is making me think about mine white!

How bad is the rear arches and door?

[~~joycey~~]

How come the car's badged as an Opel?

[muzzy]

i just painted them not long ago but im now unsure on whether to keep them white or go for a metallic grey colour as thats the colour ill be painting the bumpers.

The door is knackered the corner has rotten away, im going to sand down the arches to see if there is any clean metal as they are solid but the paint is coming off.

Looks fairly tidy mate :)

Nice to see another one in Scotland as well

i put the badge on the vauxhall one was looking scabby and ive been wanting to use the opel one for ages lol

[Dod]

I May be intersted in those if he's not!

[Dod]

Damm! lol

[Dod]

I know, I'm a bollox!!

[muzzy]

those are awesome...i want some lol

[Jack]

I wonder if Duick could source some...?

[AlexW]

I wonder if Duick could source some...?

Wooo idea, let us know if he can! that would be awesome!

[Jack]

Don't ask me, I don't want them. Won't fit over my brakes lol

[Dod]

Yeah he'd probably get some but I'd say it'll cost you!!

[boyle_46]

i wouldnt bother getting them , then everyone would be running about with opel badges and take the originalitly out of being origional .

[Dod]

Exactly. My Opel centres are for my Opel. My Vauxhall ones are for my Vauxhall. No point dressing something up as something it isnt.

[muzzy]

im planning to take the badge off the bonnet at some point once i get the holes smoothed over. im only using my gsi wheels because nobody else here has them.....that and ive had them for about 3 years lol

[vaughanmc]

Looking through the back window there, they look like GTE dials, which won't fit a Mk2 dash I don't think ?

[muzzy]

i got them out of a mk1 sr in the scrappy, not planning on using them as i want mk2 sr dials so that i dont have to wire so much up.

[vaughanmc]

Wheres the Mk1 SR in the scrappys ?? :)

[muzzy]

was the beginning of the year so not there anymorelol

[muzzy]

well it looks like this is going to need re-shelled :(

Took off underseal and found an absolutely fooked floor, inner arch, rear chassis legs and boot floor, there was so much underseal on it was actually solid until it came off and showed me what it had hidden.

So much for the engine, T40s etc i had lined up :roll:

Dosnt sound that bad tbh :/ floor maybe but its all repairable.
mine has gone on the inner arch but im not sure what to do with it so far. boot floor is a very common thing :/
Any nova is going to need welding whatever.

ive got to consider whether its worth repairing, im going to end up spending hours taking the underseal off and going by this small corner at the front end ive done i think its going to be in a bad state. To me it looks like it wasnt cleaned properly before the 40 layers of waxoil was caked on.

[stark]

Got any photos of the floor? Can't be that bad...

[muzzy]

its just the underside of the floor, inside its solid, but its the inner arches that are the worst, both sides are like that, it goes right right through into the car and even inside is rotten. boot floor has one corner missing the spare wheel well has holes in it now, passenger sill bends with your hand and round the strut on the passenger side is crumbling to pieces.

[TIDGE]

sell me your opel badge lol and get that rust sorted fella
