accidently won this on ebay the other night, bidded on it for a laugh and never got outbid. 
the shell itself is very solid to my surprise, doors are the worse part. not too sure how far ill go with this yet seeing as ive still got the corsa. ill sort out the oxidised paint and all the rust and see what happens from there. its a 1990 973cc nova so not the fastest but definitely fun to drive.
may possibly go for a nova 1.6 engine swop if the rest turns out good.






buffer bringing the paint back

 
stripped down the front to see if there was any rust and give it a good clean and paint

yeah not in bad condition at all. solid all the way round just some surface rust.
pulled the back apart tonight to find no rust! just a small scab by the rear light holder and where the rubber seal goes which is a result
