Can't believe I've done a 1000miles in the first month of running it! back into daily service, would be cool to get down to a nova meet sometime if theres one in the cambs area
having problems with the vacuum pipe from the inlet to the servo not sealing fully, causing a lack of braking assistance, as we replaced the servo a few years ago from a later nova and could never get the right rubber grommit to match to the vacuum pipe
Few pics of her atm!
Cheers
I'm only in essex
noticed the Nova was smelling like a petrol station a few evenings ago, sure enough it was loosing vital fluids..
many of you will recognise these!
the return one was weeping, replaced it and then the main one started leaking too, so both done now, was a bit fiddly doing the job at 9pm luckily nothing came pouring out the tank, either theres some kinda valve or there just wern't much in the tank!
I'm getting there on the hunt for these, just need one for the driverside wing, anyone got one lying about??
went down to a dyno meet last weekend in convoy with my mates Clio sport 197, he was impressed by the pace of a 27yr old Nova! :D
Where abouts are you ? Haven't seen this about anywhere, I'm near Huntingdon?
I'm just north of Huntingdon, been off the road the last two years so probably why you aint seen it! Its used most days so if you see it give us a flash, (not like that)
Thought I'd put some pics up of my attempt at tiding up the front wings a few weeks back, the ol' china blue rattle can jobby was looking poor and I got fed up with having rubber bungs filling the side repeater holes!
Filled up the holes
and done
Looks much better now I reckon
Next is to paint the rusting sub frame and anything else under there in preparation for the winter!

Have you found all of your bump strips yet, I am looking for a new rear quarter trim for a 3dr hatch. Which front wing do you need, I can keep a look out for one for you.
Are you drilling and fitting the rivets for the trims on the panels, have you got the rivets and plastic clips?
Would the stick on ones not be easier?

Thanks mate, I'm just short of the driverside front wing one, as you can see the front wings and the drivers door from a later nova don't have the rivets to attach the clips! I just might tigerseal them on
I would like to get it back to looking original, thats the plan anyway!
Thought it would be nice to replace the crusty old original mudflaps
With these bad boys!
Also repainted these to refit
Its looking smarter by the day!
Looking good! Yes will do, hoping to get an se by the end of the month. Will have to have a mini meet or something!
