No nova had power steering as standard. GSi's + SRi's have leccy windows. All shells are about the same but GTE, GSi + SRi have extra plates on the strut tops. If your going to fit a valver then seam welding the bay is a must really and a strengthening kit is a good idea. Most Nova shells are now rusty in the normal places (even most that are described as mint!). I bought a SR that looked very good cond but when I got it home and had a good poke about it was full of rust!. A nova 16v imo, is quite a bit faster than a corsa 16v.

no where near as heavy as a corsa, you could probably mucho strip each to roughly the same weight tho

A full stripped 1.2 corsa(buckets etc) probably weighs the same as a fully standard nova gsi.

Wouldnt bother with nova's now to be honest unless your looking to spend alot of money.
Ive had about 10 nova's and now i dont have one i can really see i was wasting my money.
