1978 Chevrolet Nova review from North America
"Its the best car for me"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I'm restoring everything on this car.
My carpet, seats, side panels, front end, evrything. (Everything that you can take off that car, its out.)
General comments?
This car is probably one of the best cars to work on. Restoring I mean.
A Chevy V8 is being re-put in the car. I bought it without an engine and transmission.
The V8 is the one of the most reliable engines made. (350)
If you have a pretty descent cash flow, and some time here and there. You can restore this car in less than a year. I mean fully restore it.
