Just thinking about putting my car on ebay for spares/repairs and though I would see if anyone on here wanted it first.
I've had the car for about 6 months and it's done me proud, starts first time every morning no matter what the weather.
The bodywork is in need of some tlc with rot in all the usual places.
I started to address some of the bodywork issues and then some lowlife decided to try and steal her - they bent the drivers door and it no longer seals properly and they have also damaged the steering column. It now clunks a bit when you turn the wheel.
I have lost momentum on this now and just want to get shut... there are some pics on this forum of the work I started but, like I said, I stopped, so it is still at that stage with a hole in the back panel...see

She is mot'd till next month but although she's currently taxed I'll be sending that off for a refund and it's NOT included in the price (of course you can always pay extra for it)
Overall she runs well, although she does sometimes chug when she's going up a hill. The engine has no nasty knocks or rattles and she doesn't blow any smoke, use any oil or any water.
There is no rot anywhere that would cause a problem for an MOT as far as I can see, but I'm not a mechanic so you can come and check that for yourself..... However, I don't know what the clunking is from the steering column but it can't be good and would probably need a replacement for an MOT.
I would suggest that this would be best used for spares(tyres are good, interior is ok, engine is great but could do with a tune, gearbox is fine....) but it's up to you....
I'm happy to answer and questions the best I can, but please bear in mind that I'm a girl and I don't really know that much about Nova's....
I'll leave it on here for a couple of days to see if anyone wants it then I'll throw it on Ebay.
