ah cool.. yeah ur sr went loads better than i thought.. I 've sold the nova as it was going to need a fair bit spending on it to keep it mint/near mint, which i couldnt afford to do.. got a good price so let it go. Ive bought another one tho; virtually no rust, 37,000 miles loadsa mot/tax..    its just a 1200cc but i ve got a gte kit and 1600 8v on twin 40's planned, 15" alloys, coilovers etc.. Have to see... |

Wow that nova looks mega nice, they are getting rare aren't they! I'd forgotten how neat a standard, clean one is. The mental picture I have looks a bit like this:  |
