1989 Vauxhall Nova 1.2 needs saving

[OldCarFan]

My sister's Nova 1.2 5 speed is being offered around as a last resort. It failed it's MOT on a hole in the exhaust and a dodgy front wheel bearing. It's been lowered 30mm on a full spax or apex (cant remember which) fully adjustable kit and has Cavalier GSI front callipers and red dot brake discs. It has Cavalier steel wheels with lower profile tyres to keep the rolling diameter the same and to allow the bigger disc's to fit and all have good Toyo tyres with many miles left on them. The anti roll bars have been removed and it has a strut brace fitted to the front instead. The interior has been changed to one out of a GSI Nova so has the bucket style front seats that fold forward ( bit strange in a 4 door but allows you to get more stuff in the back) and the 70/30 split rear seat. Only 63k on the clock. A fair bit of history comes with the car. It's been looked after as a sort of fun hobby car handling wise, (the powerplant is as Vauxhall intended) & treated as such, not just an old shopping trolley. Body work is very good for the age, only 1 or two small areas of rust around the door bottoms.

They're open to offers.

Please ring Aidan if interested on 07749281502.

Am i right in thinking this is Danny's old motor?

[dannyb]

Yep, this is my old motor which I owned for 2 or 3 years. Last time I saw it was in February and was still running beautifully from cold.

A bit more info -
Its metallic grey (steel grey?)
Red and grey SR interior (no bolster wear).
When I sold it it still had the 20mm GSi rear ARB on it.
Its got Nova GSi calipers -the red dot discs were nearly 100 quid and only saw 500 miles of use with me, so they must still be good.
40mm Apex kit (shocks and springs) saw 2000 miles of use with me, bought a couple of years ago from this date.
Stealth shelf cut for 6x9s
Very clean bonnet and bootlid, with some really clean doors on it.

If he only wants a ton, you are getting a lot of car for your money here guys.
