what i love the most about it is the fact i've built it for complete stealth the exhaust is ultra quiet and no holes in front bumper for FMIC it just looks like a ultra mint Nova GTE

I might stand a chance against Stickys Saph now

yes it has been strenghtened as per Group A Spec

Still runs the drums on rears and it's the only way i'd have any nova rear disc's are 2 much for such a light car

Have seen this over on MigWeb.

Admired it on there as well - you know you can say you've got something special when you can take a Vauxhall Nova of all cars and get hardcore Ford + Cossie owners saying it's lush and they'd love one!!!
I had a K-plate Nova as my first car, was gutted when I couldn't get it back off my sister to do something like that to it (well, that was the plan ), currently sitting in a scrapyard somewhere rusting away with barely 50k miles on the engine

Proper sleeper and deserves a LOT of respect

I do believe now that they are becoming a widely appricated classic among car lovers
Even more the GTE as its rarer than most now probs even more than Cavalier Turbos
