Picked up the Nova in replacement for the Cavalier last night!

Trailered the Cav down............


And Brought the Nova back up.................


Then took a couple pics today in the light of day after a wash



Plans are to sort the engine and just generally tidy it up a bit. Nothing major.

Chuffed with it so far though

Dash plastics are a bit Max Power.

I only hope the engine makes up for that...?

I would remove the skirts alltogether, bumpers painted black would look nice. Strip it, 2 buckets, sort the dash out, fix engine and that would be a lovely car

Nippy as feck engines, will be nice when it's running at full potential.

Change the wheels and you're onto a winner.
