Heres my '89 Nova 1.2 8v Sting, that i've owned for around 12 months. It was dirt dirt cheap as it had been left in a shed since 2003. It had about 75,000 on the clocks.

I'll let the pictures do the talking. There in order as much as possible.



















































And now how she stands today.

Feckin hell, it had more holes than a sieve.

It was close to being a scrapper but managed to get it welded really well.

I always think it looks like a early Metro from the front

I'm not 100% on the wheels too but i don't know what i fancy. Everybody has done Softstars, Speedlines, MO's, Cesaros and Slabs!

Looks good mate, bit too much colour codeing for me though. I think the wheels suit the sleeper look,would look great with a early saloon grill.
