aint ever heard of him so thought I'd better ask.

Hes from my home town, yet I've never met him, lol

isn't the engine on throttle bodies now? and different wheels?
I could be wrong, it's been a while since I have seen anything about the car.
John

tis on astra mk4 wheels multi spoke jobs lovely wheels imo
just looked at the feature on the way home in the shell garage, lmfao, lovely interior.

He has a feature in the 2.0L section, with it running the Astra rimms etc..

:roll: :lol:
i prefer the wheels in the pics on here of the origional wheels to the astra wheels imo
but how good is that interior
to be fair, if you dont know the car, from those pics that have been posted in this thread, it doesn't look anything special, just a tidy nova with the usual mods.
The pics in the feature cars section show some more of the car with a few of the interior shots aswell.
mk2 with a grey grill right good :+:Quote:
