73 Nova Restoration
Lindsey brought us her father's Nova survivor to bring it back to life. We will be doing an engine-out re-seal; engine bay detail, front/rear end suspesion, steering and brake overhaul, new fuel system, carb rebuild and tune, heater core, new interior, and collision damage repair/body and paint.
