I think unless you've owned on you can't understand what fun they can be.... bit like a valver really. Granted most nova's looks shit, but look hard enough and there is some incredible ones knocking about. I owned to and would gladly own a valver or LET anyday...as for the vid...ouch!

Would gladly own one, along side the valver, any day :D
Both of mine...

My first car at 17 (which took from age 15 to do up!)

And the Gsi which made way for the valver :D

ive driven one but didnt think it was much compared to a valver?
valver always reigned supreme hence why i brought one :?

In standard form there shit, the Gsi handles pretty well standard as that is the 'uprated' version, lower models are crap standard but few tweaks and you have a great car.

Had nearly £500quids worth of Bilstein kit on the Gsi and it was worth every penny...incredible drive- it handled better than my valver does now in honesty!

Mish, u got any more pics there?

I love the little nova's, right rally slags, but interior is a bit pump, stick a 2.0ltr and it's away!

not my cuppoa at all novas, although i often dreamed of a nova SR when i was 14 :lol:

always loved your GSi mich...

I would gladly have another Nova however i couldnt have a standard engine, would need something a lot bigger.

Here was mine, ive had 2 but the first was a shitty saloon. The SR i loved, it handled amazingly but was far to slow.

IIRC she did it all herself. It used to be a mixed Black and sr car i think. Then has a full spray in white, huge 17's.

I was never keen on the NovaDose bumper but suited the car in some way.

The cage is quality too, shame it was only a 1.2.

What ever happend to that car mich?

Was tying to trace the white car the other day funnily enough...not been taxed since Oct 05 so could be off road...or broken :(

Ended up as a Sri...

My white one was standard when bought- put a Mk2 Facelift front on...

then did it up over the course of a year or so.

Danny- heres a few more pics for you
