my nova lux

right here we go then got given this for free a while back but sold it about 4days of having it then brought it back as my brothers plan's went down the pan as he had a little girl.
basicly a bog standerd 1.28v job.my plan is to derust it maybe a gte conversion nowt to big as ive already got a driving offence so insurance will kill me.im not sure what look i want to go maybe gsi or just a standerd euro version but it needs to be slammed BIG time lol.it's not sparking for some reason new ht leads coil and dizzy theres a spark when u turn the igition on but then nowt else from there so heres some pictures it will probs look like a full rebuild enjoy.

Ill keep my eye on this as I plan to do something simalar in the future, smallblock and clean

It dont look too bad mate but you never know till you start stripping it. I'd not bother fixing the engine if you plan on changing it but that depends if you need a runaround for the time.

Good luck

Andy

Nice! Not keen on the mesh grille but rest is tidy.

Btw I'm about to scrap my old Luxe+ if you need any bits.
