I'm used to them telling me that everything for the Nova is no longer listed.
They did do last year

Update:
Got it back from Lee, engine now runs sweet as a nut and is so quiet, big up Mr Mitchell.
So got it home and ripped out the horrendous wiring that someone had done for the stereo, for reasons uknown someone had removed the standard multiplug and had wired up the stereo and speakers in the most ridiculous manner known to man, the standard speaker wires weren't used and instead some household stereo wire was used and fed through the doors, to make matters worse the wire was about 30ft long and wrapped up behind the dash.
To continue on the theme of wiring, whilst putting the car back together the car had no EML light, took the clocks out and discovered someone had chopped the wire to it, MORONS.
I've cleaned up all the interior plastics and put screws back into the door cars because the bottom half of the cards had thousands missing so now they don't rattle.
I gave it a decent wash and then a bit of a polish and it came up really well.
Going to get rid of the ridiculous exhaust thats on it and have a standard Corsa system to go on it, nice and quiet, going to have a few dents knocked out of the passenger rear quarter as thats the only place it has dents, then fit a couple of new arches that I have got.
Its looking tidy already, just need some standard GSi clocks if anyones got any?
