Plans are to get it all welded up painted, get the car serviced and use it as a first car.

Only modifications are going to be lowered, wheels, brakes, interior, exhaust and air filter.

Re: Nova 1.2i

Nice project. Most of the rot seems to be in the doors & fr n rear panels.

Good luck finding some doors, plans sound good though. Quite restrained.
