    Wink Nova Gte - Going back to standard - Slow Thread

    Alright, Posting this on behalf of my brother, He has a 1988 Vauxhall Nova GTE, he picked it up from London a couple of months back, Runs like it should looks like it should minus the standard wheels, its been lowered unsure of springs or shocks at the moment but there not standard.. Yellow shocks which i think are Jamex?? and Orange springs :S not 100% sure but its stiff, Its got a Cone filter on it which will be going standard.. if anyone has an original Airbox PM me and i will pass message on?.. cheers, Its got a set of Speedline 13'' alloys on it, He is looking to get it Fully seam welded and Painted in the same colour then keep it stored only for good days, Ill let the pics do the talking more updates soon .


    About a week after he got it removed the tints ..


    Bit of cleaning came up Minty mint more to do


    Drivers Rear Arch


    Passenger Rear Arch

    Bottom of doors are good aswell, Little corner on drivers door near front arch at bottom needs rub/treat/paint

    A bit of cleaning came up minty mint

    Also if anyone has any Previous Pictures/Owners etc can you give me a PM Cheers.

    Lol I don't know anything about rad but his old 1.4 had a smaller one than that iirc so not sure , the wheels are nice but too small i think or suspention is too hard either or, Just near Glasgow mate.

    Thats a sexy looking car, love the colour, i hope its not going completely back standard as they look good with a few subtle touches, slightly lowered, wheels that kind of thing, also they have too much body roll as standard to be surefooted at speed on the twisties
