if u get an engine change u have to declare the engine size and wot they sometimes do is class the car with new engine the same as the donor, so ur looking at group 14/15 for a 2.0 16v
u also need to inform DVLA to change the V5 form but i aint bothered telling DVLA, oops

If u had it insured as a 1.2 u had no insurance.

well i suppose i never. But i was 18 at the time. no way was i paying silly money

cops stopped me one. checked over the car and thought the nova came with the engine as standard. they thought it was a 1.6.

i was bricking it.
