Re: my new nova

Will do Matt hopefully this will be the end of your teething problems,other than similar head problems ,mine used to take loads of abuse, regularly reving to over 8k with no problems,when we stripped it down we found it only had standard rod bolts still held together ,not sure how

Re: my new nova

What a fantastic job you've done of that - I'd be very proud!! Novas will always be a classic rally car shape for me

Re: my new nova

Only a little progress Tom ,fitted the brakes and bled them re fitted the carbs but still wont run properly ,i think its the fuel pump so im going to buy a new one as it previously used to run up to pressure and cut off ,but it just keeps running now even when the car isnt running so once i have fitted a new one Andy is going to come round and adjust the carbs ,i have also got to find a new throttle cable as mine is knackered

Cheers Paul hopefully it will end up half as nice as your new Ka
