Hey all, new in here so i thought i'd post my car up smile. picked up my first car a month or so back - Vauxhall Nova 1.2L on Cavalier Slabs cool Its all standard, completely rot and rust free and shall remain that way smile
Opinions?

But, i do have plans for second nova, Something along the lines of a rwd redtop'd Widearch'd van, but im still only 16, 17 next month and on a st wage so that will be a little while yet frown

Cheers, jake smile

Nice to see you're keeping it standard. Very rare to see one in this condition

Yeah, i was geniunely surprised at how clean it is when we picked it up, looked at countless mk1 fiestas and later nova's which were all rotten/rotting/held together with filler & for £900 i dont think i did bad, considering its only done 37k aswell

Very nice car. Worth taking car of if it is all original (wheels wink ), can't be many left!!! One word of advice though. Dont spend more then its worth upgrading it in any form..... Its easy to swallow the cost of a tasty hot hatch making one look like one/ go like one.

As a first car its nice, practical and pretty cool tbh.



Edit: GTE arches front and back..... have you had a magnet to it?
