86' Nova Antibes

[meach86]

Thanks for the comments lads

Yeah i am gonna change the carpet but my main concern is getting it on the road for the summer but it will be changed eventually.

I would love some Antibes interior but like you say finding some would be a nightmare

Right eventually i have decided to pull my thumb out my **** and carry on with the Nova. Iv got some early 13inch Sr wheels being refurbed and painted as we speak. They should be finished in next few days.

Im still looking for suspension so if anyone has any let me know i have cash waiting.

All the dash in now in properly i just need to put in a few switchs for the fuel cut off and the fan.

Not far away now, I will get pics up in the next few days of the wheels and hopefully il have some suspension by then as well.

Right quick update - Went picked up some suspension off novasrikev on Wednesday Gmax -60mm kit

Fitted that on Thursday along with some calibra wheels as im still waiting for mine to be painted
Also wired fan and fuel pump on switchs

Its booked in at the rolling road on Wednesday.

Still need to get some fuel line, Fit Gsi ARB, change cambelt and fit vernier pully

I keep forgetting to take pics so her is a couple of how it stands at the moment.

Update-The beast has just passed MOT, in the last few days iv put the early Sr wheels on and sorted out some minor issues. It went on the rollers Wednesday and made 129bhp at the Flywheel and 112bhp at the wheels which is a little less than i was told by the person i bought the engine off but im just happy its on the road. The sound of the carbs are keeping a smile on my face so its all good

Few pics of how it stand and i will be at TV Live tomorrow in it :-D

Comments welcome

Looks smart on them though..
