eh excuse me

pity about corsa, nova does look clean..Somebody posted it up a few days ago and i thought it was a little over priced..Hope you got it at a good price

yeah, its a 1.3 8v SR, with a pipercross filter and a fairly quiet stainless system, but... even though its only got 70bhp, its really really nice to drive, and it starts first time, pulls nicely and i love it

gonna rip it apart and start again adam.... respraying it, getting a new engine and giving it more power and better suspension, which means it will be off the road for a while

thats because i knew it was dying.......

the nova will get the treatment it deserves, theres a few things which need finishing on it, but when they are done, it will be awesome

Sorry to hear about the car Rob Talk about bad timing.

And apart from the slightly too long tail pipe and the painted calipers, drums and bumpers, i'm very much liking your latest purchase.

It looks very straight indeed.

Get a pair of 40s on there now mate.

BTW, whats' all the blue gear strewn around the engine bay?

the blue stuff is just random wiring covering, it will be coming off

exhaust will be sorted asap

also, the drums will be black, anbd the bumpers look really good in the flesh

and if i can find some 40s, i will snap them up
