[wwmnw]

Nice car to start with looks like it'll be an interesting project.

:o

I was masterbating reading that in TV the other day, love that car and have done since I first saw it in TV!

[Dervy]

so it was you that bought it, bit of a bargin i thought, are you going to be using the mk3 astra coilover front struts? because if not i would like them please

[Benn]

I was about to say, seeing the cars you've built before this one should be a bit awesome.

[darcy]

I'll run the coilovers on the rear for now. But the coilovers were one of the reasons I bought it as I could use them on my mk2 Astra . I don't think it's going to b a show stopper. I want to get the basics right before I get it painted up etc

[darcy]

right ive had quite a busy week. i got the let out of the astra, moved the astra to my house and brought the nova to my girlfriend's house as i pretty much live there now. so this way i can get an hour or two between when i finish work and when my girlfriend does..

anyway i shot home from work yesterday and decided the engine was going in so here it is in its new engine bay/boot





sorry for the poor quality pics.. well what an absolute s**t this was to get in!! just really awkward to jack up and theres no access.. think im going to do the rear brace bars and bulkhead removable to make it easier in the future.. well thats that. nice day today so ill update tonight with todays progress. this is still mock up by the way

That looks mental. I like the idea, Gear linkage may be hard work but at least you have plenty of space to work with.
