	Hello some of you have my seen my Nova but here goes a thread. I got this car around 2 months ago and havent touched it since. Now I have a bit more time I will crack on. Its a 1.0l that has done 24,000 miles with 9 mots to prove. Which dosent mean sh*t because an engine conversion is calling! Some pics of the cars as it stands now: img525.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nova1xz4.jpg img525.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nova3nf3.jpg img69.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nova4dd0.jpg img525.imageshack.us/my.php?image=nova2yq3.jpg Future Plans: Lowered 40mm on Spax psx kit (This weekend) Get hold of some Banded steelies (end of the month) Get a 1.6 dropped in by JNC racing unless anyone else is offering?? (if money permits) 2.0l Front dics and calipers with gsi/sr servo THEN get the rear arches sorted- I have the new ones just cant get anyone to do the work (and rust is lightweight ) Sr clocks Rollcage And thats about it really! But ill keep you lot up to speed on the project. Cheers Josh

	All teh stuff said in the other thread, early grill/bumper, 'cleaning' etc, the right size wellers might work too as alternative to banding. look forward to seeing it all unfold.

	Very clean mate, keep it sleeper style (banded steel whould be ace!) Really started to like nova recently IMO they have come of age. Wouldn't a 2.0 8v be better than a tuned up 1.6? i would think there be loads more torque and just as much BHP with better fuel economy!
