Looking good Craig. I've always fancied myself a Nova saloon but never actually bit the bullet and bought one. Theres two near my house, a beige and a red, mmmm beige Nova saloon

Hahaha a beige nova loon would be just perfect get it bought man, bite that bullet

Once you get past the crap handling, shite brakes and the fact the big bad wolf could blow you to spain their pretty good shitty cars

Mmmmm the hearing aid beige loonatic

Youve just been NOVATAKEN aaaaaaaahahahahaha OMG cant beleive people used to put them stickers on their cars love it

That brown one above is sweet

Id go with that kind of style if it was a 2 door, well more like this really

Oh and plans have changed slightly (that will happen alot i always want different things )

Instead of putting a 1.6 8v in, i`ll now be putting my new purchase in it, a c16xe (1.6 16v) :-) it was too cheap and local to turn down really

novas are cool, first car i went 100mph in. my dad had a yellow one when i was about 6

something really nasty but nice about them (bit like mk2 jettas and mk2 polo loons) proper rude boi cars too!

its come out well clean and the bottle cap paint job ideas are wicked. would love to see 4 different styles. how about an orangina one?!?! everyone loves orangina!

Looks damn sweet i must say

i do have exceptional taste it has to be said you going to UD mate?

really straight pea shooter exhaust out the back up turned slightly would be the nuts!

like you see on mk1 golfs etc

Damn you marry me?

Again, such good taste, do you have the abillity to read my mind?

I want it a bit like the red ones in this pic, just a little bit shorter

I think i might list all my plans so it doesnt look like I'm doing everything you suggest

Nah not going UD mate, i didnt like it last year, which is a shame as it was min t the first year plus I've just spent most of my disposeable on the conversion

Well today i tinted my headlamps and some clear indicators, sprayed my grille and polished the badge

But my camera is being gay and not sending pics to my laptop again - grrrrrrrrrrr so i`ll try upload them tomorrow night, i`ll have sprayed my bumpers, splitter, mirrors and handles by then too

Well, if it doesnt rain

What do you mean used to have 'you've been nova taken stickers?'

Theres a bright green one around here with it still in the windows. Shamefully I was Nova taken

love it walshc!

i do love that bottle cap idea though!

did i read correctly that you sold your polo

lol should have stuck the xe engine in,

me and my mates did the conversion from a 1.6GTE to a 2L redtop XE engine in 3 hours from driving to driving out, we also did a 1.4SR nova pick up in matt black and was the 3rd one to have ever been done a few years ago, my mate now has a matt black GSi on coilovers and few other bits and bobs, one of my other mates has had a 1.3 sport with the twin 40's and i used to have a Mk1 1.3sr with a big skim on the head and went like fook

lol need any help or info just give us a shout as one of my mates is a nova expert and his mate has a Nova spyder with a C20let engine in running 400bhp

will try to get you some pics if you want lol

Saw this today, I've seen it a few times but never got any pics. Il try for better ones next time - i realised afterwards that my phone cam was on Macro Focus mode

Sexy anyways:

LMAO Kam got beaten by a nova with a "youve just been NOVATAKEN" sticker on it thats below embarrasment

love it walshc!

i do love that bottle cap idea though!

Everyone say`s 2.0XE/redtop it

I would but i cant afford insurance on 2 cars with big engine conversions, it would be a shame to redtop it now untill i VRT my golf just to sell it afterwards because i cant afford insurance

Yeah get some pics up

Think I've seen that blue nova before sam, well pics, its one of a few hatch`s i actually like

that blue nova is fuckin rude, are the wheels banded.

i admit i have a soft spot for the shitters, but i want that, now

edit: the mirrors are gash tho but mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Edited 11 March, 200818 yr by grungeisdead

love it!

had a couple of hatchs myself and would kill for a 2 door loon....

infact id love another nova....just trying to find a rot free one doesnt prove easy

nice work so far though :-D

Cheers dude

Finally got my camera to work again

Tinted headlamps, and i give some clear indicators a slight tint. Also sprayed the grille satin black and polished up the badge a little

The light is hitting the offside here, lamp doesnt look as dark

Going to do the bumpers, splitter, mirrors and handles when the storm fucks off

get some pressed plates boyo and dont tell me you bought a corsay nooooooo, although saying that

and everytime i look at your novay head on, its just got a stupid cheeky face. call it scampi

Edited 13 March, 200818 yr by grungeisdead

Hahaha nah, thats my neighbers corsa

That one above is MINT, that was the guy who was originally going to be buying my old polo, he left a deposit but his mate let him down with the sale of that corsa. Its 2.0XE`d too, i was really impressed when i saw it

I`m getting black/silver pressed plates for it dude £30 fines ahoy

Hahaha just for you, its called scampi now

Took scampi to Yousafs today to meet the muppet (which looks even better in the flesh, colour is soooo cool ) and to set the grinder on the rear springs

Nice new spring, nothing wrong with it, except for being too big

Off with its head

The result

I'm still not happy with it going to cut a little more off tomorrow, just seeing if they settle a little tonight. The ride is really bumpy now

Wow, them pics come out pretty good for a phone

looks like you dropped a right curler on my lawn!

the pics have come out schaweet, i wasnt sure on teh loon but after seeing it in the flesh its the daddy, the interior colour is badass.

were you rocking the hand signals on the way home? :p

Hahaha ring sting was so bad it made me bleed all over them curlers

The indicators started working at the bottom of your street

Still going to buy another relay though, just to be safe

Hahaha the interior is ok, i have thoughts of black vynal old skool, headrest-less bucket seats floating around my head though

Oh and heres that white one with the superfly interior i was telling you about i soooo want that http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1984-VAUXHALL-NOVA-1...1QQcmdZViewItem

if only that was closer i woudl be there tomorrow!!!! and wow its bloody low!

Looks better now its dropped more but er.... isn't chopping springs slightly unsafe??? and won't it fail its MOT??? (or am I just being cautious?)
