I’ve been on here a while now and have decided to start a build thread. Back in July I was looking for a first car and came across this, a 1992 Nova 1.2 Expression. It wasn’t too far from me so I went and had a look at it and then won it on eBay for £400. It’s in excellent condition; 63,000 miles with no rot or rust but just a little bash on the front wing/headlight.
Once I had picked it up and got it home I removed the wing to inspect the damage which didn’t actually turn out to be that bad, just the headlight panel and the bottom of the inner wing. I then went on a search for a genuine wing with no luck so got a pattern wing and surprisingly it fitted pretty well after about 4 hours of cutting and shutting.
Since then I have been at college so not had much time/money but have managed to collect and do a few things to the car.
