    I bought some inner wings & chassis legs then I read that, don't think I'll be using them unless absolutely necessary!

    'Before the car was started hundreds of mesurements were took on mine and other novas. Suffice to say with a tape and the power of mathmatics the car is very very straight'

    The car used to belong to a local lad about 10 years ago, was a std white J plate GSi, sold on then had a 16v motor dropped in and painted Green, wouldn't supprise me if its been off the road for a good 5 - 6 years.
    I don't know the guy who's got it but its in a garage / lock-up in my town, be cool to have a noisey around it sometime.
