awesomely clean, top find.. as white as a sheet.
looks really nice - A Ski though?
Think Vauxhall lost it a bit with the logo on the back - I can see a chav drawing a poo behind the skiers bum!
Did a bit with the car today. Just gave it a proper clean and went looking for any rust. Didn't find anything to worry about though :D ...

I will start a WIP some time!
Nice find mate, must be the first nova ski any of us have seen! lol I would say keep it std but then again, it would look bitching if you slammed it!
can i have your car please! lol lol love it top find!
Thats silly clean :thumb:
You lucky git
Whats your plans? Sell it to me as im local?! lol
Any updates with this?
if this was my car i wouldnt change a thing on it. just keep it as clean as it is and attend all the shows with possible the only ski model. it looks absolutly mint.
however, its not mine. its yours, so do what you want with it :) would be good to see a WIP of it...
Keep it a ski!!!! I would usually say fook it, its just another mint shell, modify it. but I think thats too rare to be messed with.
Maybe reversible modifications? E.g. alloys, springs?
I'll put a WIP thread up over Christmas! The car is due back from the bodyshop on Tuesday (don't worry, has just had a few minor touch-ups and the arches rolled). Have had a set of MO's refurbed in Polar White to match the car and aquired some Gaz coilovers. Got some V6 brakes lined up too and after that I'll just be looking to keep it clean. Considering getting a mint GTE interior for it just to make it a bit more comfortable and maybe a snowplough bumper but nothing that can't be reversed.Quote:

stunning!!
i dont know if i would want to change anything on it..
anyway good luck with whatever you do and i will be watching..:thumb:
might see the car about sometime..i am not that far away, dumfries. where in cumbria do you stay?
Yeah I saw the MOs in your avatar so thought i'd ask, tbh its looks spot on as it is. Bigger brakes and coilovers should make it a sweet little car. :thumb:
iam moist. that looks like a beautiful flower!
treat your nova well and it shall treat you well.
Cheers fella.Quote:

You can see on that pic the Sport mirrors I've got for it too. :thumb:
Cheers for all the comments! :)
Ok, thats it. Do nothing else aside from fitting an OEM filler cap and its done, finished and needs nothing more.
Credit to you my boy, credit.
the last pic is sweet and as dod says id leave it alone,Orrrrr make a hidden modification like under the bonnet:D as said ive never heard of one(ski) too,so a nice rare little motor you got there, look after her mate in all departments.(no not the missus the carlol ):thumb:
There used to be one of these near mine but it had dif decals?
Looks really well in the ps pic. I saw it on pistonheads some time ago and was tempted to go have a look myself however I never got round to it, Looks like I missed a good one :(
Looking good mate, I'd paint those anodized centre caps though, they look a bit out of place....?
Dec
Thanks again for all the comments! The car should be pretty much how I want it by the new year where I can then get it MOT'd and back on the road. I'll make sure to take pleanty of pics to show what I've been up to.
Hmmm, not sure about them atm. I've got a new set of the anodized caps and new Comp stickers to go on the wheels when their back. I think they'll probably look quite cool but at least I know I can easily change/ remove 'em if I want.Quote:

Yeah I had a set of the plastic Silver ones from Comp but they were a naff fit and just kept popping out when the rim was fitted! I know you can get the alloy ones in Silver too but will just stick with the blue un's for now as they should look good with the matching decals :tard: . If not I'll just send them back to Comp and get them swopped.
It's all these little touches that make the difference!
