If it was the one it was for sale a couple of years ago ,strong money around 10k iirc but it has a real good spec

Re: my new nova

Dropped the engine and box off at Andys last night with the help of Ant ,got a phone call today to say the gearbox is showing signs of a hard life ,all the gears other than 5th are shagged as are the syncros and baulk rings so i need to source some decent used replacements as they are no longer available ,it seems as we suspected the gear linkage is a bit too direct ,just hope for better news on the engine

Re: my new nova

I have still been busy making some fibreglass arches that have been a bit of stuggle but i have got there in the end ,i have started painting it aswell ,its not the best but i am sure to mess it up the first visit to a gravel trap so it will do

Re: my new nova

Mate dont you think a wide arch on a wide arch is taking the piss a little?

You should have made a them zakspeed box arch/thundersaloon style, would look even wider than it already does!

Cant wait to see this out again

Re: my new nova

Re: my new nova

I have been slowly plodding on ,enthusiasm and funds dwindling


I have repainted the bonnet as it was a bit rough and have painted the door

I had plumbed the fuel lines for injection and had a swirl pot welded on my tank ,but after Andy stripped the head down he was so impressed with how well it was running that he suggested that we keep it on carbs for the short term so i ripped all the plumbing out and re-did it for carbs


I made a quick throttle stop for the pedal box,and started on the steering column,


Need to sort a custom throttle cable and i still havent sorted a new clutch plate but the engine rebuild is progressing ,i am just waiting on a head stud kit then it can go back together ,and i need to get my door back from Berkshire bodyshop as i asked them to have a go at straightening the damage i got at Silverstone out and paint it ,so its going in the right direction ,i really hope to get a shakedown booked for this year
