Well its quite original, which is good, but its still a nova which is exceedingly bad, so imho you should go and seek professional medical advice before your condition worsens to the point of liking other rubbish 80's tastic motors

Thing is, I want it to avoid it meeting an untimely death at the hands of a 12 year old

Thought you might like it - Thinking of bidding as my partner is looking for a run around! Plus, its been given a clean bill of health for at least another 12 months. Thing is, they are great to work on and parts and interchangeability are a-plenty with the Gm family
I had the opportunity recently to drive a Nova SR for the first time in, Christ, over 5 years.
It was slow, had horrific brakes and wasn't the best example what with it's knackered suspension, remould tyres and noisy wheel bearings.
I honestly thought I was going to die - both as a passenger and a driver.
What a fantastic drive, laughing my ass off on the whole journey -having the Mondeo has made me go all gay and I need to sort myself out. I'd love a clean Nova.

I also had one with a 16v Redtop in it many, many moons ago.
It shifted, aye........from left to right in a straight line with the torque steer whenever it got a sniff of the throttle.
At one point, it also snapped a drive-shaft although admittedly, I hadn't uprated them so that was my bad.

Was just scouring the interweb and found someone shoe horning a Monaro V8 into his Astra Coupe and making it RWD with old Omega Running gear! Madness,

Here we go - Apparently 888 said that an indicator stalk from the monaro wouldn't fit the MK4 Coupe, so Pete (this guys) decided to proove them wrong!
