Yep, that's me! Must put that nova back together some day!! LOL!!!
Thats a schweet looking nova dude i love the colour, aww poor thing leaving her in bits you meanie lol how come you stripped it??
what an absolute awesome thread, you simply cannot beat owning a nova. so wish i was ten years older and had one 'back in the days'.
i havnt spotted a nova that lives near me tho throughout this thread. its well known in lancashire and i think it was built around 99 and apparantly at the time was one of the first with flip paint, big wheels, valver etc. even tho i know of alot of 2.0ltrs from 95, so aybe it was done before that.
anyway cant find any pics of it really apart from this crappy one, is it well known from here. it used to and still goes to all the shows and across europe time to time...

i rememeber 1 like that from magazines years ago
it didnt have a lancia integrale style bonnet???
there was 1 the same colour as that....that had 1...
i just cant rememeber now
i havnt seen it for a year now cos he keeps it locked up but it def had some gay vent on it Lol, so maybe the same.
just found this, still doesnt show the bonnet tho

In most instances they didnt get past the primer & filler stages.
i didnt think K's looked too bad tbh, but i was probably about 15 when it was in Fast Car. certainly not a fan of that other one though!Quote:

Yeah, it was rotten because it had been abused all it's life, and he cut the roof off to make a convertible with 20" wheels, and it disintegrated into little pieces.Quote:

Bought some Imola's for it....

Finally got the wheels I always wanted when I bought my speedlines for 800 :eek: when wheelbase started selling them again late 2001 / 2002

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v5...i16v/GTE30.jpg
Then made the stupid decision to sell it to my mate who killed in within six months and it was turned in to a classic rusty / dinted wreck :cry:
Wheels live on though on my Corsa which is basically styled the same as an old school nova :thumb:
