Although I haven't posted I am still here. Last year I found a 1978 Nova 4 door. My first car was almost identical, except for the color and being one year older. I've been doing some restoring on it. The body is straight, no issues with floor pans or rust. When I looked at it the car is all original. It has a 305 with a/c, and 98,000 miles. Here are pictures from when I bought it to now. I have also cleaned and re-carpeted the interior.

Tommy, I'll have to say the seats aren't as big as they were in high school.
I replaced all suspension items. The floor jack would not fit under the sub-frame, and one of the rear leafs only had one spring left intact. When I had the front off it had a good look, and the rear bumper wouldn't have been reinstalled if it wasn't so shiny. It's a lot of blue, as the interior is also all blue. |
