I take it this is it?
mice motor 112k is nothing on a 1.3 if its looked after also first refusal please if you ever decide to sell !!!!
that looks a nice standard example:thumb:
fair play to you for keeping it like that for 20 years:)
looks a minter, hope it lasts another 20 dude
you deserve some rep :d looks lovely!
I wish I could have have kept my 1.3SR that clean for 20 years, you have done well!!
I have owned mine @24 years now, but needed full restoration!!

Having said that... My Mk1 (just a standard one nothing special) is getting broke and scrapped because the rust/corrosion was epicly bad. I'll get some pictures done later.
Whereabouts is the rot? Post some pics? Anything can be repaired :)Quote:

As a warning to others attempting to repair rot boxes I will post recent MOT failure list and estimate to deal with (which i am expecting later this week)

self - not a chance of that
mates rates - has been tried - work out badly
the intention is the garage will do only as surplus staff available to keep costs to a minimum.. but at least i know it will be done right if car is repaired
Update 02/12/2011 - Major repairs commenced - estimated date of completion February 2012 !Quote:

photos of progress to 14 January 2012 as below

still on target for completion by end of February 2012 ....
Looks like they're doing a thorough job and not just putting some plates over the rot, nice one for saving it.
Looks good Pal, there can't be many genuine 1.4 Sr left in white either.
excellent work mate nice to see people actually paying for their novas instead of DIY.
Good bit of progress and well please you have decided to save the car and have it fixed
A major update
Car is back on the road today with MOT. otherwise looks much the same as before
Within budget but just a few weeks late
Nice to here it's out the other side, are you coming to NATS again this year?
Only just came out the other side
Almost certainly spent more than car is worth
Nats - Yes (just the Sunday)
I will try to get the roof lining sorted by then which you so kindly sent me and here ready to fit
Incidently informed by the wife that drives great !

Any pics from when you first had it 20 years ago? :)
Plenty of photos but none of the Nova.
After all it was hardly rare at the time - it was used to get from A to B
