Hi...
Just got my Nova Thursday. 1974 4 Door 350 2 barrel Automatic with 52,000 miles. It's an all original grandma car. I know the more doors are not everyone's cup o' tea but I have a family and it works for me and when I am done with it, it will be great. I am from Everett Mass and bought the car from Maine. Rust was my biggest concern like it is for most of us and this car has only had surface rust and was painted by the previous owner (pictures I posted are before it was painted). Underneath is spotless. The previous owner garaged the cur up until 2001. Drove 250 miles to pick her up. Then drove the car 250 miles home in the snow (what a nightmare)! Drove great the whole way, I did between 40 and 70mph. Used a little more than 3/4 of a tank of gas, not sure if this is normal seemed like a lot to me. Anyway wouldn't mind ideas as to what I should do first. Im thinking the usual, headers, exhaust, wheels and tires, new seats, HEI ignition etc etc. Oh and I paid $3500. I think I did good.
So now for the photoshop part of my post. Could someone photoshop some wheels on the car for me? I have Borbet Type A's that I bought for my '88 BMW 535i that are perfect with new tires size 225/50/16. I guess they will fit the Nova so I would like to try and use them but I am not sure if they will look good. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also I would like to network with Nova owners in my are so feel free to IM me.
