My CRUSTY four door Nova is a GREAT daily driver and my daughter loves riding in it. So I did the right thing, and took it apart. I used a donor car (the white Nova that we got running last year) and spent as little money as possible. I spent $260 on parts, and sold the Nova body for $300, plus have a pile of parts left over to sell, so this was essentially a FREE V8 engine swap. Follow along as Carlee and I tear into these two Novas and laugh along the way.
