My nova (hotrod) of 13 years!

[hotrod]

Here is my nova that ive been building for the last 13 years(ish). Unfortunatly due to a lack of cash flow its just been stored for the last 5 of them! However things have changed now and hope to be busy with it again soon.

This was the engine it had in:-
1.6 fully rebuilt bottom end
Lightened flywheel
Ported and gas flowed 1.4 head
Race/Rally cam
4-1 exhaust
twin 40 webbers
It was quick enough(sounded really nice!) but way too thirsty!

However this is how it stands now and has for the last 5 years!



On the plus side I have this to drop in it now!

Was wondering what you guys think?

90's styled nova

never seen a mk1 nova with quad lights till now hmmm

love the wide arches on it

what bumper was on it? custom one ? looks like it had a cossie lip on it

[hotrod]

Hit the nail on the head mate! custom bumper made to fit the cossie splitter!

Think the headlights were quad conversions but not too sure (been a long time!)
Wouldnt matter anyway both the grille and lights have been modified to fit the front end!

Ultimatlly the plan would be a full fiberglass front end all 1 piece but not too sure thats gonna happen now!

Times have changed mate. Bodykits are so 90s! Put the car back to standard lad!

I was expecting some crazy roof chopped, rusty hot rod with a nova shell in there somewhere
Car looks like its from the 90's and i like it. Like the uniqness, and although not to fully my taste, i respect the fact you have thought outside the box especially with that front bumper.

[pie]

no i aint bub

[hotrod]

The car will never go back to standard gonna finish it as hommage to the 90's (my era! haha)

The alloys are milli miglia. I laughed so hard when the guy in the shop said they wouldnt fit on a nova!

[mowgli]

its different. and that is what is good.... as above, don't follow the rest of the crowd.... there are quite a few bits that are not to my taste, but you'd probably hate bits of my car too

get it restored & wake up a few people at billing with it.


ps. i like the colour
