I think you should keep doing, sorry start doing the silver GSI
And I'll look after the black GSI down here away from all that grit on the road

You know it makes sense

ive only had it 2 days, gimme a week and i'll probably take you up on it

What a cracking gsi this really is, it pulls really strong and it's really mint underneath, I can't think of anything better to swap the s3 for to be honest, well done mate, really happy for you.

Iain

Cheers Iain, took the brother out in it tonight and he was giggling like a bloody schoolgirl

Looks very nice mate

I wouldn't be quick to get rid of stuff, panels new gsi bits etc etc, you never know when you'll need them to maintain this one, IMO last thing you would want to do is sell something you might need in the future

But, Any mk1 parts?

Thanks Edd, yeah im not going to rush ant decisions, its still a shock that ive been driving a nova for the first time since 2004, AND I OWN IT

Looks lovely. I was in a similar position with the Sport shell in bits then something came along ready built and I have not looked back since.
Good move, you will not regret it.

Thankis Rich, its just a pity i cant Turbo this one, TBH the only reason id build the silver one would be to have my turbo 1.6 toy. Anything i do to this black one i'll make sure it can be reversed and put back to totaly standard, best way to keep it imo.

[craig green]

nice

[Lee H]

Best colour and wheel combo for a Gsi IMO but I could be a bit biased.

Looks really good.

[bazil]

Thank Lee, have you still got yours? I've not been on in a while,

I'll actually be changing the wheels, only because there are a few the same but as you say it does work well

[Lee H]

Yes, think it will be with me for the foreseeable. Don't want to use it but can't bare to sell it either!

[Edd]

Why can't you 1600 turbo this one mate?

[bazil]

Yes, think it will be with me for the foreseeable. Don't want to use it but can't bare to sell it either!

get it out in the summer, I know billing ain't your thing but it's a good place to show it off for sale? Glad it didn't get broken for parts

Why can't you 1600 turbo this one mate?

It's too good to mess up
Mainly the bollocks wiring due to being C16 with integral loom/ecu
It wouldn't be something I could return back to standard either, mind you I'll get bored of no power and no turbo quite quickly tho

[Edd]

Ah right, I'd forgotten what a mess GM made of the later looms

What's the body like then? Is it a complete minter then? Or bid of work needed?

[bazil]

Well I had to wipe Iain's jaw a few times

Aye mate, it's a good one, showing 54k miles on it, most of the history backs it up too,

It still has arch lips on the quarters, the first nova I've owned like that.
The paint is a bit dull for my liking, I'll get it buffed up next year before the summer,

Hardly needs anything done, which feels really odd

[Edd]

Fair play mate, really happy for you

I like tinkering too much so a on going project suits me

Not trying to be out of order but that backbox looks terrible mate
