NOW FOR SALE ON EBAY :( goodbye nova
How come?
trying to raise money for a new car, very keen on dirty dogs corsa 1.6turbo would be cheaper for me than go the whole mile with this one on engine swap etc. If it doesnt sell for what im after i will end up keeping it not gonna just give it away ;)Quote:

Hi, Don't know if you can help me or point me in the right direction. I started a Nova project almost 2 years ago I have come to the end of what I can do with it I think. I am looking for someone who knows what there doing to get me going again I need it seam welded (I have weld plate kit as well) and a small section on the floor. I am also looking to get a few dents knocked out, one door delocked and have it painted do you know anyone that I can pay to do this? to be honest if they could stick the mount kit and the engine in it as well id be looking for that to be done too.
Thanks
Mark
Mid grey. I would have thought would look better than the dark. ↲
There is plenty of how to's in the articles section mate where you can get info on fitting the plates just depends if your handy with a welder or know some one that is. Also looking through peoples conversions on the project will give you ideas on how and where to seam weld also for cutting and boxing the chassis leg (unless your just going to hit it with a hammer) to allow room for the alternator. As for repairing the dents and painting the car it all depends where you where if your local and around this area i will be more than willing to lend and hand and point you in the right directions, other wise you will have to get quotes from garages in your area or post a thread asking if anyone knows someone in your area Thanks :thumb:Quote:
