    On the parts alone!!! Had a good look through all the reciepts today, has a folder full of them! I've been without a nova for nearly three years and wanted a new toy, saw this come up and it was if it was meant to be , having it transported down in the week plans are to drive it for a bit till september and then take it off the road for the winter and the strip it down to make sure everything is ok engine/box wise and then put my own touch on it - Sport rep maybe and some more power its a lovely car as it stands but needs to be made my own! As other have said ots a lot of money for a nova but its a lot of nova for the money and i caould not build one like that if i wanted to! Fell in love with it when i saw it Total Vauxhall still have the mag!

    congrats on buying it, i wouldnt think it needs anything doing to it apart from driven hard as i know the guy looked after it, one thing i would advise is get it on a proper rolling road just to be sure all is well as you should with any car with this amount of modifications for peace of mind and may well save you a little fortune should something be wrong, ppl say its a lot of money which it is but obviously you bought it for what it is and what it can do, like many posts on here yeah you could but a mint series one/evo with 400 brake etc, but end of the day this car would eat them all for breakfast without trying and thats what this car is about, imo a concours standard car is more hassle/boring and hard to enjoy without worrying about it, so enjoy baiting/abusing "supercars" and losing your licence

    ive just spent £3700 on a nova again, but i think it was worth it as it will only go up in value IMO, plus it was the same model i passed my test in
