nice one mark, looks like a good challenge

if you need a had just gives a shout buddy :thumbs:

isnt rare it comes in corsa b's iirc. 1.7 in a nova is relatively rare however:)

Nice....

1.5 Turbo diesel? :boggle: Is that rare?

Nothing like a good challenge :D

Just looked over it in the metal.....doesnt look too bad, pics look worse than it is.

Needs some welding to the front but suspension turrets all round seem solid and floor looks ok.

Plenty of work to keep him occupied though! Brocade yellow will be :-)

Brocade yellow will look absolutely ace :cool:

turn the boost up on the 1.7TD, you'll get about 130bhp, reliably :D

Well travelled the 220 mile round trip to pick up my new project. I intentionally picked something needing alot of work as i want a challenge.
So here it is a K Reg Nova 1.5 Turbo Diesel.


We then tried to start it but wasnt for happening but battery was flat and didnt seem to hold a charge. It was turning over but just didnt seem to have enough power to fire.


We then just pushed it onto the Trailer.




Finally got it home at 9pm and started to unload.



And here it lies in its new home for the next year.



Plans for it are to strip it down to a shell, fix all rust etc, paint the inside and the engine bay, fit rollcage, bucket seats, harnesses etc, And then a 1.7td cav engine will be going in with uprated turbo and possibly bike carbs.

With regards to exterior bodystyling it will have tints, single wiper, gsi bodykit, lowered on coilovers on anthracite speedlines with the whole car painted brocade yellow.
