MK1 Nova, sleeping in a barn for years

I'm gonna keep my eye out for a full length MK1 bumper

Thanks alot for the positive comments guys, really gets me into this project

Any suggestions/ways recommended to do things, hit me with them. As said, first time restoring a car, and first time working on a Nova. (I'm a qualified Mechanic, but I spend my days working on MG Rally cars).

IMO get the battery tray cleaned out asap

Have a look in the forsale section few bumpers in there, failing that I could help you out with some.

Might have to take you up on that offer, I'll see once I've sorted out the rust, which is the most of my worries at the moment

I'm intending to join PNG anyway (probably will this weekend), so will have a gander :D

Another update.

My little sister (who is only 16, and doesn't actually know anything about cars...), just turned up with a replacement passenger window, as it was missing on the car. So will be fitting that up today

Not as rotten as first suspected which is great news .A white Mk1 is a fantastic project pal. Get a mk1 early all in one bumper or a mk1 SR bumper and keep it all dead clean and simple and dont wander too far from factory spec etc !!
nice project mate

I'm looking to Cam the Engine. I was told I can swap my standard cam straight for a GSI/GTE one?

Anything I'm missing out here, or?

[Matty Winslade]

Yeah i think this is true but also i think you'll find that actully the 1.3/1.4 SR cam actully has a higher lift

[MK1_Ben]

Isn't the 1.3 cam rare as hens teeth though?

[Matty Winslade]

Dont think so pal. Just look for someone braking an SR and ask for it in the cam carrier. Best bet is to post in wanted section mate
