    Default Irmscher Sprint C Replica C20LET

    After 10 years of ownership, it's time for the Nova to get a bare shell rebuild. The main reason for this is its needs painting. Over the years I've got the car pretty much how i want it, so there wont be to many major changes, just putting everything right.

    Fot those who haven't seen one before the kit is the Irmscher Sprint c kit. The plans For this rebuild are as follow.

    Fit door bars to roll cage And weld in spreader plates for rollcage.
    Cut out old seat mountings and weld in new stronger rails.
    Remove all unwanted brackets from car
    Strip and re-seal underneath.
    Strengthen around the Corsa brake servo as it tends to flex the battery tray
    Fit braided fuel and brake lines
    Fit quaife LSD
    Replace the drivers side wide arch
    Respray the whole shell
    Clean and paint all parts before refitting

    Plus there will be a few more purchases as it progresses

    The whole build has to be finished by the end of may, so it ready for my yearly trip to lemans.

    Here's how the car looks currently











    The first task was to build a shelter to work under as I don't have a garage at the mo.

    I can't remember to be honest, I bought it about 8 years ago.
