Re: my new nova

Looking good jezz with regards to the kit, there was a white nova round my way a few years back (i think bigrod off osf may have owned it, or would definately know of it as it was at the end of the road where his vauxhall breakers is!) but that had a massively wide arch kit on it, maybe a rallycross one and the rear lights were mounted in the arches and the boot was filled in where the old light holes were!!

More pics of the outside and the new tubs please

Re: my new nova

Hi Dave i am getting the rallycross kit but i still dont think it will be wide enough,as it is at the moment before we have fitted the wide track lower arms the wheels stick out about 4 inches allready,so by the time the longer bottom arms are on that will be 6 inches
I think a decision will have to made,standard track,8 inch wheels or extend the arches even more,
How easy is fibre glass to work with Carlos vandango here we come
I cant get any pics of the outside at the moment as it is wedged in my back garden under a gazebo

Re: my new nova

Thanks m8 i hope to have a few pics at the weekend as the wide arch kit has arrived

Re: my new nova

Well i have been busy fitting the wide arches





but i am not sure what to do with the rear lights as the arches half cover the existing hole and if i cut the arches back i am not sure how to finish them any ideas
i have also fitted the console and clock pod i had made


any opinions or advice gratefully received as building a race car is all new to me

Re: my new nova

Nice one jezz, looking good buddy

Are they the windows and engine/box from the sport?? If so lets hope they arent full of bad karma!

[Toymex]

Re: my new nova

Re: my new nova

Well i bit the bullet and bought some compbrake 4 pots ,discs and bells but they dont fit, the pads hit the caliper mounting brackets



I have been waiting to get a new cwp ,this came on thursday so i got it fitted on friday so we could fit the engine and box on saturday




i feel as though we are getting somewhere now ,a couple more weekends and i might be ready for some testing

Re: my new nova

Thats coming along lovely Jezz, and I suspect it will be very competitive

Looks like you are a bit ahead of me, but hopefully I'll be getting a bit nearer to catching up over the next couple of weeks
