its like christmas all over again!
Looks nice and tidy
v nice buddy love it just dont like the blue strips only down side but if you like them thats all that matters :D
Very very nice.
Please dont remove the side strips, they match the bumpers perfectly and "tie" the front and rear together. Looks cool as is imo, maybe change those clear sides to smoked items.
ace mate good to see you got one :) she looks mint to mate :)
Thats gorgeous. Whats your plans?
IMO just a slight drop is all it needs!
very nice and clean
thats a minter mate
body work wise its staying standard its how i like them. i prefer the vinyl and blue strip to gsi skirts. the bumpers could do with some back to clack despite them being new and the original colour i like them a bit darker. might invest in some coilovers but its such a smooth ride and im not to bothered about how low can you go! there good springs and shocks bilstein shocks and courtenay springs. the linkage os dodgy though it used to be a turbo and the rear mounts snapped and bent the bar than connect the linkage to the box? so that just need repalcing. the heater matrix rad pipes wore through on the inlet so he has bypassed it but i dont think ill be mending that till the winter lol it is reallly mint all original bodywork etc it has a small dent in the bonnet and a small cutting in the slam panel where it used to be a turbo but it pretty damn cool. he has got all the reciepts for counrtenay hi tourque cams but it dosent rum lumpy and to be honest i was a little dissapointed with the speed it was pissing down but it still gripped. he converted it himself isnt there something that makes them run slower i.e. afm or something simple? its also got a hiflow cat which i suppose would still restrict it. thats coming straight off anyway.
i just cant wait to collect in on thursday!! gonna look funny with 3 novas on the drive for a while. will take a pic of them think if i shunt them all up i might just be able to get them all on!
That's looks so clean ...
Might have problems come mot time if you remove that cat.
K-plater, and a C20XE engine.... Unless you say its a Astra GTE engine.
How come your disappointed with the performance? It should seem a lot quicker than a t40d 1400/Nova sri..
Congrats mate you got an original clean one there! Will move that SRi shell asap to make way for your red one in the garage!
Very nice mate:thumb:
Lucky boy!!! Thought it was on 45's :confused:. I'll have th SRi boy!!! You know i'll have it, and take care of it! :D:D:D:D:D

Yes the wheel does turn lol
i just didnt think it was that fast and thought the sports cat mite restrict it slightly. i woul run sri steelies as i have about a dozen this being my 4th one but as you say there v6 brakes really need to sort out that gear linkage though. yeah the paintwork is spot on and its all original has a couple of dents here and thare but its an old car which used to be a turbo so the speeds it probably used to go a daddy long legs would dent it lol
really loving that mate :thumb:
that is nice matey was looking at that one myself:thumb:
@ a reasonable price too, which makes a change.:thumb:
very nice mate
Nothing wrong with have 3 novas outside the house:Quote:

looks spot on a very good find :thumb:
What I meant is bodywork wise it all looks good, not messed around with, obviously the engine and alloys arent original (I mean that in both senses)Quote:

all my novas have been completely standard body wise would never have a body kit although some people have done a good job of some but its bad enough driving a nova let alone one with a bit of fibreglass hanging off the front!Quote:
