Hi guys, Its been a very long while since i've posted in Retro Rides, so please forgive me! Here is my Mk1 Nova Saloon 2 door, that i'm now working on again over the winter period. The engine is currently out of the car, ready to go off to the body shop to have the engine bay painted and semi-smoothed. The 1.6 8v engine that will be going back in, is currently being built. Here are a few shots of it over the summer period last year My Nova & Luke Bates Mk2 Jetta by Shaun Minton, on Flickr My Nova & Luke Bates Mk2 Jetta by Shaun Minton, on Flickr My Nova & Luke Bates Mk2 Jetta by Shaun Minton, on Flickr My Nova & Luke Bates Mk2 Jetta by Shaun Minton, on Flickr My Nova & Luke Bates Mk2 Jetta by Shaun Minton, on Flickr My Nova & Luke Bates Mk2 Jetta by Shaun Minton, on Flickr My Nova & Luke Bates Mk2 Jetta by Shaun Minton, on Flickr My Nova & Luke Bates Mk2 Jetta by Shaun Minton, on Flickr DSC_0862 by Shaun Minton, on Flickr DSC_1151 by Shaun Minton, on Flickr DSC_1155 by Shaun Minton, on Flickr DSC_1160 by Shaun Minton, on Flickr Waxstock 2016 - Ricoh Arena. by Shaun Minton, on Flickr Waxstock 2016. by Shaun Minton, on Flickr Untitled by Shaun Minton, on Flickr Nova Mk1 Interior. by Shaun Minton, on Flickr

This is a good one. Looks great on the g60 wheels

Nova's are dead cool, probably the only Vauxhall I like. This is great!

Super mega cool. Love the dish, stance, dashboard and general cleanliness. Colour too.
Mate had a black 1.2 saloon like that years ago: memories of no sort of rev limit, 10 people in it on the way back from parties and driving it from the backseat on the motorway... Happy, stupid and fearless we were.

Novas are one of those cars that either do nothing for me at all, or if done right they make me want one. That makes me want one. Very nice.
