Growing up in wolves there was one lad who had a sick nova it was red and faded to orange then yellow at the front it was the best thing I'd ever seen I had lambos and ferrari's on my bedroom walls but this nova was the Don
Cracking build Jamie, Love the sleeper look. I’d keep the grey. Looks ace. I’d say that cars gotta be just shy of a tonne. 300bhp is rapid. Not many cars can touch it today with more power! Keep up the content Adam! Another cracking vid 👏🏼👍🏼
Always liked the 3 door Nova. It's the wheel arch blisters that make it. My first car was a '84 1.0 Nova in 1990. It was only 5 & 1/2 years old, but it was like a sieve. Holes everywhere, most worryingly in the left hand A pillar just behind the wing. When it rained the car used to fill with water. I only discovered the leak after a mate spotted mushrooms growing on the carpet in the passenger footwell.
@@chrismills9346 , I stripped the carpet & sound deadening out and after it rained I used to push the rubber bungs in the floors out to drain out the water. Rather than unbolt the wing and repair the A pillar properly my Dad just filled the gaps between the wings and A pillars with clear silicone. I guess he wasn't too bothered about the car being structurally safe.
Really smart looking nova, I’d keep the outside the same but smarten the interior up a little bit with some nice seats. The good old nova days. Did anyone else have the 1.5TD unreal how quick these were, just pulled in every gear
@@anthonyplaskett64 they were unreal engines, my mate bought 1 aswell when he realised how quick they were. I went on to by the corsa with same engine but it wasn’t anywhere near it
@@anthonyplaskett64 my nova had the Isuzu and they must have changed them in the corsa, massive difference between them I couldn’t believe it. My nova TD was just as quick as my dads mates nova gte if not quicker
Absolutely love this car, reminds me so much of my old Nova red top I built back in 97 with twin 45's and then turbo in it in 98 loved that car, would definitely keep the grey just looks ace, great package and so well built, good work 🙌
I've just nearly finished my nova just has to go to paint now and she's done, I can say I've spent alot more than 4k on it, be near on 10k, I've only put a redtop in it aswell, I was going to put a z20leh in but I really wanted to try keep the nostalgia of the early 90's. Nice build tho good to see another one saved and who knows I might see you at some shows this next year. All the best to everyone
Absolutely Love it! Like someone said I think personally I’d keep the grey 2 tone it just suits that car but I love the SR look. Cracking video lads. 👍
Wow what a little weapon 🤯 this takes me back, mind u I had a 1.2 merit saloon bought it for 500 pounds lol 😂 but was my first car and I loved it sooo much. Great video m8 👍
Good memory’s from my childhood with novas, taking without owners consent and driving like I stole it. Mini metros too the good old days no ampr no imobilisers . All you need is a fiat head screwdriver and I was gone in seconds
Amazing project 👍 Beautiful car! Love this color! I from Portugal, and i have a Opel Corsa 1.2s (Stock), 3 doors, Luxus version, from 1984 and i love it ❤ The interior is green 😊 I wish you the best 😉 Cumps
Bring back the cars of days gone past these new cars there's no imagination. When you go to most car meets its old 90's or earlier cars that make the meets the odd lambo or porsche turns up but that's been made like that. My first car was an MG MAESTRO in red when's the last time you saw that on the roads
You should make a video of the one car that's really surprised you. Just a little recap of them all and then the one that took you by surprise 😮 be a good a watch
Gotta love builds like this, especially being a Corsa guy myself aswell (driving a B though, not the Nova) :) One thing that baffles me though is how you guys can get these monsters through inspection and street legal? Atleast in Finland the builds are extremely tightly regulated and a conversion like this would never be street legal here. I think the biggest you can legally go here is to engine swap to the biggest factory engine they produced the car with (probably the 1.6l petrol) and even then you would have to swap all the brakes, suspension and everything to match the original big engine version to pass it. Sometimes I wish I lived in America or some other crazy country where some states don't have inspection at all and you can drive whatever crazy and deadly bucket you end up with :D The little boy inside of me does anyways
In the UK, drop any engine you want in! Quick mot and tax it job done. Unless you want to tell the dvla it's got a bigger engine and pay more insurance and tax.
so opel corsa was vauxhall nova in GB .... alrighdy ... my mom had a stock snow white opel corsa in the early 90s ... good car ... not super great but it wasn t causing headaches if you know what i mean
Good videos, but you have to sort your microphones out! I listen through headphones and it's quite distorted. Hopefully you see this as constructive feedback. All the best pal.
never understood this type of thing buy a shed put a big engine in. I go for cars more for looks than power you can only go the speed limit anyways but interesting video :)

I remember all the chavs saying you've been novertaken 🤣🤣👍
Don't get rid of the grey!! Looks amazing!
Agreed. Don't listen to your Mrs, the grey is perfect
Agreed keep the grey lol 😂💯💯👊🏼👊🏼👍👍
I concur!
Samme
Mk1 should have the grey
@10:05 the car behind 😂. 👋 see ya. Lusted after Nova SR as a young man. This is another level.

They were the twockers weapon of choice back in the day round where I lived, a spoon would open and start them
I had a 1.5td nova van, ended up a green gsi rep
@@anthonyplaskett64 they were unreal engines, my mate bought 1 aswell when he realised how quick they were. I went on to by the corsa with same engine but it wasn’t anywhere near it
@@Marc1979nufcthat's right the Isuzu motor was miles faster, there was 2 there was a gm block and an Isuzu one.

Can't believe he's even questioning the grey... Tell her she's wrong and refuse to do it! 😂
She's thinking modern look but wont soot so ye I'd also leave as is

Shit the bed! I had saloon 1.2 wish I still had it now! Jeez 28 years has flown by!
Looks real good in two tone I'd change the Mrs and keep the grey lol
Absolutely Love it! Like someone said I think personally I’d keep the grey 2 tone it just suits that car but I love the SR look. Cracking video lads. 👍
I had those wheels on my 1988 Vauxhall Nova 1.3 SR they really suit the Nova.
Looks really good takes me back, love the swage lines on the wings and quarters, sits really well
I would totally keep the grey if it was me, looks really, really smart! Go all one colour and it will become a bit more generic.
Great to see modding making a come back. Love the content on this channel.
Makes me get the Need to dig my nova out the back of my unit and finish it this winter!!
This thing would humilate so many powerful cars! I have seen similar builds blast past cars with 500bhp on the drag strip at santa pod.
Oh yes it's as light as a tin of beens 🤣
Acts like a tin of beans in a crash aswell
Love watching these, those Nova’s used to be my arch rival in my old Fiesta RS Turbo in the 90’s…..that nova is a monster though, nice one Adam 👍🏻😂

I was part for the novacrew in my early 20's. There about 10 of us and we used to do the southend meet once a fortnight
Amazing project 👍
Beautiful car! Love this color!
I from Portugal, and i have a Opel Corsa 1.2s (Stock), 3 doors, Luxus version, from 1984 and i love it ❤

What a really cool car now on the channel, oldskool is best 👌👌👌
Them wheels look smart at first I thought they where speedlines
Love the car keep the grey 👍 love the retro look with the surprise under the bonnet wouldn't change it in anyway 👌👌love cars like this 👌 great video
FFFING AWESOME
i have a nova redtop NA 215 bhp and 240 ft of torque huge respect for this build , note ,i didn,t build mine myself

@@SincerelyYoursOfficial big up 😄
@@frontoffice777 will be getting built on my channel if ur interested give us a sub👊🏽💪🏽
@@SincerelyYoursOfficial done
Best thumbnail ever 🤣 grew up with Nova's.
Another great sleeper the dash is a really nice touch
Yeah, great sleeper. Really blends in with the hundreds of other Novas on the road.

Bet it's a lot of fun to throw around, great job Jamie!
Leave the grey 👌🔥
Great to see a Nova, had a 1.3SRi as a kid, great car
I knew it, I saw it in brighouse. But just the Arse end flying off into the yonder. 👍🙏🤣
I had a 1 litre nova non-injection in 2006... 50mph in 1st, 70mph in 2nd, 90mph in 3rd, didn't need 4th...
What a sleeper , love it mate
Wow love Jamie’s mrs nova what a quick little thing👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Full SR kit, the best
This car is what it is all about a little car surprising the big city on a budget
You should make a video of the one car that's really surprised you. Just a little recap of them all and then the one that took you by surprise 😮 be a good a watch
My home town of cleckheaton now in Cumberland, tyre eating nova bad ass 👌
Tidy work and it looks original 👌
I’d put the nova 1.3 sr seats in
I had an E Reg one and they looked great and were comfortable

In Belgium, you don’t even have to think about something like this. Absolutely impossible.

@@brookrobertson7456 what if you get involved in a crash? Then it voids the insurance
One of the coolest ever 90s motors
so opel corsa was vauxhall nova in GB .... alrighdy ... my mom had a stock snow white opel corsa in the early 90s ... good car ... not super great but it wasn t causing headaches if you know what i mean
I wanted a Nova so bad back in 2000. All my mates had one. I got a Renault Clio Sport (1.2) on finance. Doh.
I love that, that's the to build a nova. What a great little car👍
I used to have a nova back in the day I used to play with them but never to this extent
Remember the tartan seats in the nova
Nice motor my first car was a nova 1.2i 1992 I had it in 1997.
Goes like shite off a shovel. Fantastic car mate. Lovely tune out of it 👍
That's going to surprise a few people on the road
Ripper!! My mate had a turbo Sr back in the day with you've just been novataken on the back window, good times.
Ooft thts wat yi call a sleeper mate, smashin the content buddy keep them coming 👌
MAD MILE, BRILLIANT...
naughty nova kidd sounds sweet aswell lad quality the Boyz 💯💪
I see that cleetus mcfarland merch that kids wearing he has good taste
Lovely motor. Miss my Gsi 😔
Good videos, but you have to sort your microphones out! I listen through headphones and it's quite distorted. Hopefully you see this as constructive feedback. All the best pal.
I have corsa c with Z20leh with f23 used has a daily driver also. Running 280+ bhp so more than one about 😃
Great looking and sounding Nova 😎😎😎
Just love the stealth look always the best way
My first car was a nova Sr 1.3, great car.
These used to understeer like a goodun. Watch out for hedges!
Great work
How do you get insurance for a modified car like that? I assume it is expensive.
Absolutely beautiful
miss this car so much
Takes me back that.😍😍😍😍 mint nova mate ❤
Fantastic build 👍
Hola e visto tu Opel Corsa GT podrías decirme que numeración de color es me gusta gracias
Thing is a pocket rocket 🚀
My mate had a red top nova. I sometimes wonder how both me and him are still alive. 😂😅
Still my fav cars novas forever classic 👍
Sounds like a outrun arcade 😍
Think I’d be sticking a roll cage in that 😂😂
never understood this type of thing buy a shed put a big engine in. I go for cars more for looks than power you can only go the speed limit anyways but interesting video :)
Bet the kids love school run time 😄
Must be kyle Gibson 😂
