Nice build Colin, i could do with some of the kingspan insulation board for my garage roof, shame im no longer in a trade where i can get it for nothing..

I need a cable tie holder, and gaffa tape hook

scott, a lot of people put up kingspan insulation & because their sheds have no decent heat source, they can get a lot of condensation forming, which is not necessarily what you want. i have one of those tin sheds (like they sell in argos) and it has no insulation, plenty of little air vents & is dry as a bone all year round.

ps, i agree with burgo, i need a cable tie holder too....but i don't think mine will be anything better than a cut down pringles tin(or is it box??)

The Nova is coming home this weekend. Can't wait!

I'm sure it will uncover a whole lot of work that needs to be done to get it ready for next season's racing.

I've posted a new thread up in 'Mechanical' for advice I need on 'big block' driveshafts, if anyone can assist on that please.

I'll post up some current photos of the Nova once it's back in my hands, along with details of some developments I have planned for the brakes, instrumentation and steering.

Looking good on the garage is it ready for the car

A new acquisition which I hope to put to good use in the Nova one day;











It's from a Penske single seater, and is 2 turns lock to lock, and weighs in at 1.5kg.

It's been a long wait, but the Nova at last made the long haul down to the South Coast from Lincolnshire;









Let work commence.

Glad to see you are back Colin! Was wondering where you disappeared to! Nova is looking awesome as usual
