Noooo can't beleive your selling after only just getting it back on the road! But, Like you say all good things and all that! Such an awesome car, one of my all time faves, hope it goes to a new keeper who'll cherish it forever. Good luck with the sale Nick :)
shame your selling up mate but good luck with the sale and im sure the rust bug will bite again
suprised your selling so soon tbh but im sure you have your reasons its only a car tbf. one of, if not my favourite car on here.
im sure you enjoy the build more than the finished project mate lol. i hope you get to use it a bit more before it sells. and hope you stay a member on here so we can see any further work or projects along the line, and to spread your knowledge of paint.
Gutted I don't have the cash for this :( I hope it goes to a good home as it's my favourite sr on the site :)
Hi guys and thanks for above comments........ Unfortunatly the nova has sold a lot quicker than I thought it would and was collected by the new owner today. The chap is good friends with Shaun so knew It was a good one to buy. As he's local to Shaun Im sure he will be happy to keep an eye on it and who knows If one day it comes up for sale he may get chance to own it again which I know he'd like to. All the best with it Jason I hope it serves you well!
Few piccies of collection........

As for me who knows whats next! Im unsure If I will ever own another nova or not. The next project will no doubt be vaux though at some point. We'll see how things go. :)
Nick.
you planing on another nova nick or just going to see what happends when it happends?
Shame to see that one leave, I hope its well looked after.
How much was it up for sale for Nick, i never got a chance to look at the for sale ad ?
Im unsure fella to be honest, I may be without a project for a while now. Depends what comes up and how Im fixed at the time.Quote:

A nova of that spec that clean doesnt come round very often does it, who knows maybe it'll be worth even more in the future, the price of those SR's is sky high at the minute lol
I'm happy and upset at the same time.
Happy because mint novas are not getting broken for parts and genuine people seem to be buying them.
And upset because I can't afford them lol
Congratulations on getting the money you wanted for it Nick and so quickly
I did think this one might have been a keeper for you tho
Hope you do another project/nova as I for one loved seeing you apply your awesome skills on the SR
How long before you get bored and need to do another tho ? lol
Edd
I think a Sport should be next, nice to see his skills put into one of them?
Again congrats on getting your asking price, as you as it helped it being Shaun's mate as he know the car etc.
Yeah Im glad I didnt have to go down that route but being honest I think Id have rather kept it than do that. Nova prices have been rising for sometime now and I feel its about time that those of us that choose to spend big money on them should get a fair price in return. Some will agree and some wont but its just my take on things. Id rather pay over the odds and have a right car than pay less and then spend a fortune making it into the car you could have bought cheaper anyway!Quote:

I will have something vauxhall again but Im looking at much more recent models than the nova now. Whether I ever own another will remain to be seen.Quote:

Im not into sports at all to be honest so I can say "Never" on that one!
Nick.
Shame, but needs a must, sell it while its at the top rather that sit on it and wait and all that. Lucky new owner.
Thanks again Nick, was good to see you and the Nova again, what a trek tho, bloody caravans on a Sunday...its now tucked up in its new garage, mind you he did say he may bring it round tonight for a little drive out as the weather is good lol.Im sure he will be a member on here soon.See you at Billing next year no doubt, bring over your polishing cloths.Thanks Shaun.
Just wondering what colour is the vinyl , like under the doors and on the boot ?
Thanks
soooo this thread is empty now Nick, I think you should get a budget snotter lol :)
OMG! I have just seen you sold this!!
A bit speechless & gutted.
Hi Liam........ The colour I used was a custom mixed grey finished with a semi matt clear. You'd be best off going to your local paintshop and having them match something up for you.Quote:

We're currently applying to have some building work at home so I want to keep hold of all funds just in case we need extra etc. Once all housey things are complete then I'll go out and find myself a new toy.Quote:
