    Default 1989 Nova GTE

    This is my new Nov its a 1989 GTE, it has been off the road for about a year and sitting in a barn, needs a bit of welding and a tidy up but shouldnt take long to do that. Also needs a new rear window because it got shot out

    Spec that i know off
    1.6 8v with fast road cam, lightened flywheel, 16v bottom end
    Air Filter of some sort
    full stainless steel exhaust
    GSi Interior
    Astra GTE Digital Dash
    Rear Strut Brace
    Electric Windows
    Electric Sunroof
    Koni Adj Coilovers on the front
    Koni Adj Shocks on the back

    Its running 138bhp, not sure what else has been done to the engine

    Plans for it at the moment are......
    new steering wheel
    gearknob
    Front Strut Brace
    4 pot Brakes
    New Alloys
    Seam weld the engine bay

    yeh the rear window is pretty much the priority right now its got bad rot beside the rear arch where the sideskirt would normally cover and right up in the arch but the rest of the car is solid
