    Default Star Silver 91 Gsi

    WELL HERE I GO AGAIN!
    ive had this nova since i turned 21 in 1999,bought it for £4200 with 62000 miles (the auto trader add from 1999 ) as seen in the first picture, then in 2000 i bought new gm inner wings and front panel and done a slight rebuild on the front end. i used the car everyday till january the second 2004 when i bought my imola yellow audi s3 , but sadly the nova was never used again .

    the pictures that follow are from the rebuild in 2000 and as i want to use the car again this year i thought id share its history first. the car did belong to a former member of png and had an old skool sticker on the windscreen, sadly when the window was replaced the auto windscreen wa*k binned it!

    hopefully i shall get pictures of its present condition up by the end of the week, she doesnt look as good now as she once did

    your up way to late, it's em STAR SILVER , the clue is in the title

    @ BURGO, simple plan is get all the bodywork sorted and brakes, then a full respray, no engine work as I don't have a budget for that, but i do have an early XE, it's been sat for 7 years so would need a rebuild if I was going to use that but probably keep it 1600
