Looking forward to seeing this come back to it's best, was one of the Nova's I drooled over when I got into them in the late 90's.
Well done for saving it :thumb:

When you start working on it at home, i'd be very interested to see how the AFm and piping is done.
Glad you've saved it and started fixing the bits it needed. Another awesome car saved and ready to live on.
Im pleased this has gone to a good home, I met the last owner briefly and was disappointed with his vision for future mods for the car. looking forward to seeing the progress.
Hi All,
Quick update.
- I've had the bonnet repaired, grill painted along with the bumper
- Fitted new Hella headlights
- Fitted new indicators
- Reinstated the courtenay turbo decal and the 16v on the bumper
- Fitted the plate by Girlfriend Terri-ann bought for me :)

Looks really good! Like the new number plate too ;)
Love the colour of this. Can't beat a mk1 turbo.
Looks bloody nice that Keith, spotted a few comments on fb so i knew you had this on the quiet, is it just the light or does the paint on the side appear to be a bit more dull in comparison to the newly refreshed grille and the bumper?
Either way i hope you will be treating us to plenty of pics in here as i for one am glad to see it has resurfaced after so long off the scene, and with so many tales of it having been mistreat or scrapped over the years!
The paint on the car is around 19 years old, so it's not going to shine like new paint (yet! lol)Quote:

Next winter I'll bare shell it and repaint the full thing.
Looks great with the newly painted bits. Head lights make a difference too.
What's the Nova in the back ground about too?
It's a spare shell I have :DQuote:
