And finally the GSi radiator was not happy.
So over the winter I ordered a 42mm thick alloy radiator from Radtec, not cheap but I think it's worth it.
Quick clean up and it's ready for the show...
Another issue I had was that the gear gaiter (reproduction rubber one) caused the car to jump out of gear, mainly 2nd.
So found a Richbrook Vauxhall Gaiter, solved the issue.
But then the...
It isn't a Nova if it hasn't got a roll cage or sound system. With this not really ever going to be a track car and after finding my other half's old Kicker Sub, operation BOOM BOOM was a go. I went...
From the CAD, I asked one of the guys at work to get a couple of strips cut to start making a bracket.
Not bad for a DIY bracket, just needs painting white and it may need a support at the back....
So update time.
Engine has built up, new cambelt, water pump, gaskets the lot.
Decided to give the cam cover something different to give a nod back to what the car is. Decal reproduced by a mate...
Impressive. I couldn't escape work, but guess I'd of missed you running anyway after that.

Holy shit! I wondered where that Piston came from in Thetford!
You've done a good job there mate. Was it going well before hand?

Good work though. I need to get my project post updated.

So this is designed as a GSi sized but using a 42mm thick core rather than the 26mm (I believe) Standard core.
With the SPAL slimline fan and powder coating in the grey (standard is either polished...
Try Radtec. www.radtec.co.uk
Just had one built for mine, bit over kill for what I need but top notch workmanship. Custom to my requirements.
They do offer a Nova Turbo setup which includes the...
Well that me in for GM Reunion.
I'm assuming that it's ticket per car rather than per person?
July is setup for me, Festival of the unexceptional at the end of July too.

Not really made many plans this year yet. But the GM Reunion is very tempting.

I've always liked this shape. And to be fair, it's a much better car than the missus' Golf GTD.
VAG didn't interest me, and new Vauxhalls are not great either.

I haven't really moved on, but have changed to a Daily/show car setup instead of using mine daily.
Went to a Corsa B Sport, followed by a mk5 Astra SRi but have now moved away from Vauxhall to a...

After a few bits. Need a new Indicator stalk from a Mk1, my spare I've found is broken and the one in the car has lost the dip/full "click".
Also looking for an early chrome oil filler cap, just...
I just popped this in the Sport zone as well due to the 2 sports on there.
Do like what Jonny is doing with his car caves and barn find series.

Glad I asked that.
So I need to have my pump lower than the tank outlet which is good.
Cheers for that.

Where/what are the pumps mounted on to?
Need to mount my pump but not sure where, whether to mount it as per a GSi or go different.

As title, does anyone know the size of the cam shaft pulley bolt and crank pulley bolt?
Looking to get some new bolts for them. So need M size, thread type and length.
