Thats nice. many loose ends to tie up by the looks of it but still smart on the outside. Nice seats but dodgy head rests... bonnet release knackered by the looks of it.. nasty gauges on the dash too.

But the exterior makes up for it. keep us posted as you put your mark on it.

i paid 4k for it. it needs the front end re-aligning because there are a few panel gaps but that will soon be sorted!

yeh the headrests are too big i think.... the gauges are coming out and vents will be going back in. and the bonnet release needs looking at yeh.

small brakes. But looks very nice. Few touches will improve it no end.
£4k? ouch.

Sofstars as the best wheels for a nova (HIGHLY biased opinion), although I really want to put wider rear arches on mine and run some azev a's - now they're the best wheel.

Looks an all round tidy motor. Like the retrim.

Don't think £4k was to bad for it really for whats on it, my mate was all set to go and buy it but you beat him to it !!
As said few bits to tidy here and there but on a whole it looks pretty mint.

Looks very nice, like you you say theirs a few bits to do on it. but you try and build a nova turbo for less than 4k that looks half as nice as this one then

that was my nova. i sold it to this gentleman and regretted it ever since. brilliant car and reliable never had any problems. and as for this mark beeson dude have you not taken the time to think he might actually want his car looking like mine? also i was next to his nova in the queue for p.v this year and happened to notice quite a bit of bubbling. mine were spottless.

mmm, thats not really the case mate, slam panel doesn't get much of a say wil th wings, its mainly the inner wings that influence the gaps

run at the pod? cool, what'd you get? i,m guessing late 13's?

the slam panel does'nt fit that great on the car because it was moddified to unbolt from the car to allow to get into the turbo if anything happened to save taking the engine out etc.

Won't make a difference mate.

My whole slam panel is screwed in and comes out along with the headlights. Without it in place all my panel gaps can still line up (with the exception of the grill of course.
