'85 Vauxhall Nova 2 Door Saloon Resto Project/ First Car

[Modlendingen]

Something new with this?

[Calamity Josh]

been a long time since this was touched... so here we go!
Well i ended up swapping my leaf green saloon for my brothers civic which i'm selling as i couldn't bare for it to leave my sights, but couldn't justify keeping it. He also has been into nova's for a while now and used to own stevie p's orient blue saloon and had it caged, and then regrettably sold it (It's still sat in a barn being turned into a sprint car).

Anyways, he brought some new wheels for it, and lowered it very slightly....:thumb:
it's awaiting welding very soon and fingers crossed should be on the road early ish next year!!! :d
the front will come down abit more soon, with slightly more camber, more stretch, and the arches rolled,
the backs getting camber shims, more stretch and the arches rolled

i'll let the pictures do the talking:

thanks mate! the bronze ones my daily, it's on coilovers now with a few more changes, and i've picked up some 15x7 original dealer sport magnesium oz rally wheels for it

the saloons turned into a much more long term project, it'll be finished one day and until then i can see it just getting passed between me and my brother, i actually have no idea who's it actually is at the moment

Wow you don't see many of these on the road anymore, I like them, mate of mine used to have an SR and that was a great fun car for hooning backlanes!

Great work on getting rid of the tinworm, new wheels and lowz look awesome

This is awesome dude, the cars so cute. I love it so far. Shame about all the rust though

[Modlendingen]

Those wheels are stunning

Nice! Looking good man, hard to beat a "long twelve" or any nova for that matter. There's a guy doing some nice work on retro-rides forum, might be of interest to you. We had a white one, but it got stolen and died

Love the new wheels

[SHD]

So what are the specs for those wheels in your green Nova? Also post a pic of the 3door nova, wanna see how the 15x7 fits

You´ve done great work, keep going!
