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...?

Also on the list..
Sort engine - get running at least
Dash bits
Rear shelf
Paint bumpers and skirts black
Maybe lower it a bit more
New exhaust
Bigger brakes
Just tidy up overspray etc etc
Damn good polish/wax.

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.
