then decided to give the car a re-build and thats it right up to date

[MK1 Astraman]

Your nova looks really smart mate!!! Welcome to the forum!!!:D:D

[moffat]

the plans

gereral tidy up and make her look good

[mike137]

will look good when done mate, much rot besides that door?

[moffat]

no really tbh its the cleanest nova ive seen yet

[moffat]

in to weeks time the rear axle beam is coming off for a strip down and a re-paint

[mike137]

are you gonna change the bannana gun (exhaust) ;)

[moffat]

yeah 4" bore going on

[mike137]

nice, look good on novas, so long as its not slash cut :)

[moffat]

nah normal 4"
also going to get a set of vauxhall 15" alloys, after the re-build
keeping the normal rear bumper aswell

[mike137]

why you keeping the standard rear bumper?

[moffat]

cause its a mk2 nova and the standard rear bumper is the same as a gsi back bumper and the gte back bumper is off a mk1 i thought i would look daft. should be fine once finished.

[Mattman]

:welcome:

[tcscotland]

nice :D

[mike137]

[Chikin]

[moffat]

forgot to saye nova is a low millage example with only 43k on the clock

[rhydgte]

Welcome along :cool:

[Hebs!]

Only one thing else that I think you could add.......a c-vox sticker ;)

[tcscotland]

This is true, on parkers, when trying to find out the value of your car, if you click the "c-vox sticker" check box, the value goes up by £25k :D

[xkayx]

hi and welcome!

[stumpy]

welcome to the site matey! :cool:

[thedjse]

Good progress there lad you think you got a clean nova mate come and look at both of mine one of them only has 32k on the clock lol bet you cant wait to drive it

Your making really good progress there keep it up!!! :D

[IainL]

Looks like you are putting in a lot of work there - keep it up. Dont see so many Novas about now so good to see one being restored:)

[Pllusy]

man that takes me back! my first car was a nova. has the wrong offset wheels on it and it used to eat rear wheel bearings, had to do a set every couple of months!

best look for a nova in my opinion is gsi kit slammed on cav gsi rims. thats the way i planned mine to look but decided to move on to a bigger car before i finished it.

mine had gte kit and interior on it. loved that interior was soo comfy.

welcome to the site btw!

[steph661]

hiya! i have a nigel nova too!

[thedjse]

Nigel post up in the newbees bit mate and get some pics up lol

[OCDave]

the nova is called nigel the post is by steph (mikes sister ) :)

[mike137]

yeah, as dave said thats my sis, btw the nova is probably going stay now after some drama with the number plate.

[gurlraica]

Hello and welcome. :D
