it has been sitting for 5 years, and it went for an MOT recently so i know what i need to do. and by far the worst bit I'm chuffed with it, especially as it was free lol. plans for it, are to make it MOTable and then let kelly have it to drive as her first car. the MOt test sheet says, it needs new wipers, new headlights, new side repeater, front brakes binding, hand brake not strong enough. a sharp edge somewhere. and the battery tray rust, one rear fuel line has split. all in all, should be a simple quick fixes.

ok so done some more work on this bad boy today. off i went to halfrauds and get some fuel pipe, and replaced the fuel line. so it now doesnt leak. good times. had a bit of choppy choppy on the rear arch, nothing major: for craig also i took of both front wheels and stripped the driver brake as it was binded, and the passenger wasnt yet. so i have left it, and thought it would be rude not to put on the alloys lol also noticed around the sunroof, there has been some tape there in the past, and its left some nice small circles all the way around and most importantly its now part of the family.

I don't think I've ever seen a four door hatch Nova and it's been a very long time since I saw those smart Vauxhall steels (which I think look better than the three spoke alloys). I'm amazed at how solid it is for being sat so long and FREE.
