Blast from the past....

Evening all,

Whilst selecting some toilet reading tonight from my vast collection of car mags, I came across this little gem ( :confused: ) from 1996 and the Fast Car stable ....

I actually like that Nova!!

Ive not ever seen that nova, I like it.
who wants to call the number on that sport add? lol

Funny enough i was looking at that mag yesterday! Here's another nova I found on a cover, I'm sure there was heaps of features I'll have a rummage through one day and have a look.

I'll see if I can dig some more out - a turquoise blue Nova with a C20LET from Fast Car in 1995 rings a bell.

Nice, my collection of Novas ( i have every mag feature from 97 on) Starts a bit later than yours...

I'll have a look through mine tonight if anyone is interested? I have all the fast car mags

I remember that feature I was 15 lol!1600 engine, cav brakes, half a mild bodykit, graphics equalled a front page back then hahaha!

Very very tame spec but I like it

Fast Car - October 1996 = 17 years ago

Here's Andy - not a very helpful guy back then - when I was putting in my F28 he was the only other Nova running an F28 and refused to tell me how to sort the tie bar issue out :thumb:

Makes me regret dumping all my old 'Fast Car' magazines when I moved house last year!

Luckily I kept my complete collection of 'Cars and Car Conversions'.

Looks like this lived till about 2008 ....

Year of Manufacture	1995
Cylinder Capacity (cc)	2000cc

That touring car style nova was ahead of it's time in terms of looks

There are two more Ascona's behind that one!

Yep that's the one, a mk1 shell with a GTE front end with a black leather interior from a Calibra I think with 15" Cesaro's. It has some sort of chargecooler set up using something from a Mercedes IIRC .

I'll have a look tonight.

He wouldn't help you with some info? That's off!

The reason i do/write such a detailed project thread is to help others out. Photos of everything to help and that.
