My 1983 Nova Project

hi have found an excellent example of one of the first nova's produced and i am underway on a good old restoration project. after what happened with my last nova i intend to finish this all the way and own it for a good long time after aswell.

Sure Duick will be in touch soon! The boot floor in that car is rather unusual, it seems to be a pre production shell or something, will see if i can find pics to explain

the strengthening bits in the boot floor runs front to back not 2 bars side to side

My Plans are to clean her up good and proper, all the rust will be sorted out, wheels refurbished with low pro tyres. bump strip from side of car removed, engine taken out and rebuilt and painted, chassi strength kit and engine bay stitch welded and new track rod ends etc. Also will be lowered by 60mm with bilstien shockers.
