Novas are so old now you should look at everything and expect to find it rusty or worn, and be pleased if its not. A Nova is simple enough and most stuff is accessible and easy to look at anyway. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty, take a good torch and ideally a trolley jack and axle stands if possible, look at everything. If you haven't spent half an hour looking you haven't looked enough![/QUOTE
And last but not the least .get to a mot testing station an see what they say.... I purchased my gte for 1200 and well two years on and it hasnt seen the road for more then a month an im still doing bits too it
and still find holes.
juat say to yourself when u purchase. Spending money on it will never end. But remember you own a nova. I reckon bu the time I finish my gte they will have flying cars up then
