Really like Novas! Only thing put me off is amount of rust, and me not being good with bodywork.

Perfect for you though

[nath2905]

Yeah mate that was the same with the lad next door who I brought it off, he couldn't do bodywork either

ill be honest, if i was doing anova again, id get it dipped and e coated. its not cheap but you know it wont rust again. be aware bolt on panels are getting silly, because people are hoarding them. if you find panels, buy them. what engine are you going for?

[nath2905]

Ive noticed theres no panels about. .. also engine will be 8v probly a 1600 unless a good 2 litre pops up

[nath2905]

so for part two....
moved location to the other garage at work ...





















that is last weekends and todays work done on it, looks better in bits lol
a few more holes found, like in the front drivers arch that one is huge

since this more work has happened and more holes found

so part 3 to be added...

[nath2905]
