Looking for a Nova? I'm looking for a little "project" over the summer and i fancy buying one. Hopefully it'll be a mk2 Nova .What things should i keep away from i.e; things that are costly to change/things that are scarce?
What things tend to be wrong with them?

Bearing in mind, i'm not affraid to get my hands dirty- it's why i'm thinking of getting one

Btw- i'm not thinking of bolting a load of crap body kits or a big wing (shit like that) to it . It will be more of a restoration with a bit of subtle changes like alloys and maybe a transplant if funds allow
