I said a Pick Up not an estate :p
Just checked out the build thread and I take my hat off to you sir :thumb:( though it dont look like you painted it till after 48hrs lol )
hmmm maybe I should find an estate and see if can build one in 8hrs lol
Oh by the way I know we put that we built in ours in 48hrs but it was actually finished a lot quicker than that we just put 48hrs because it was only 2 days spent working on it ;)
im very seriously thinking about building a pickup nova over the winter with the one thats sat im my shed! give the old girl another lease of life.
Thats true but surely there is more fabrication going into an estate as youre adding bits to it rather than just lopping bits off it to make a pickup lol
Yeah true that Spudly that's why I took my hat off to him lol
There has been a lot more Nova pick ups built over the years that have looked even better than theses two that also took a lot longer than what we both took building are ones
Someone got any pictures of them to help inspire farmertom ? - I remember seeing a valver one which was red and white once at PV
its gonna happen my girlfriend wants to drive it about so its gonna happen, theres a sweet 2ltr 8valve sat in the shed next to it so i reckon its gonna have that in the space that was once fitted with a ****e 1ltr lol
Awesome car!! I love the way you just cut novas up and make quirky stuff out of them...
+rep
haha this is mint. only just found out they made brown sr's and now i see one cut up
mega marks on effort :thumbs:
Any news about it m8?
its not happened, the nova is stayin as a hatch now. i split up with the missus just after new year. so im building it up soon but with a small block an coilovers, probly bike carbs.Quote:

infact if we have cutting discs at work...i may rob them, and the extension lead and hack it up this weekend
lol looking at this now i bet you wish you had it and had restored it!
But we don't have a crystal ball, if we did i would of sold my gsi shell instead of scrapping it!
Of course I do Scott. Unfortunately this was before the retro scene and nobody wanted a brown nova back then as I did try to sell it
Not helping here burgo but I'd of bought it if it was still around lol
