    Default Hi from a former member, 17yrs ago!

    Hi all

    I was an avid Nova fan and a member of the group about 16odd years ago!
    Ive still got my ole GTE in my garage and just rekindling my love for the little beasts, I can't believe how much they are worth now!
    Ive always had a soft spot for them and owned a dozen or so of them over the years, including a red top powered SR!

    Anyone around the East Anglia region ?

    Welcome back. Yh prices of them have rocketed the last few years. Any pics of your nova? Does it need much work, what's the plans for it?
    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”

    Im in Ipswich.
    No photos at the moment, I have some old polaroids somewhere, didn't have smart phones last time I was burning about in the novas ��

    Ill Ll get some photos next time I wheel it out the garage!

    Id like to get my GTE back on the road sometime soon, it doesn't need a lot, a couple of arches and pair or wings that's about it. It's actually pretty solid. Where's the best place to get panels from these days?

    Best place is a road trip to Germany as I wouldn't risk hard to find panels getting wrecked during shipping. Sometime wings and arches pop up on here from time to time or on eBay but pick up only. Genuine is best as the copy's are not up to my standards

    Defo get some pictures next time you're in the garage.

    EBay or here is a good source of parts, or autojumbles too.
    A lot on here would only go genuine panels, mainly because they are a better fit than the pattern parts, but it all comes down to how much you want to spend.
    I've seen silly prices for new wings, yet I picked up one at billing the other Year for £45, granted it is a pattern part, but any good body shop will be able to make it fit.
