    Not a huge amount of progress as there has been this sat in the way christmas etc



    Got the old guy a nice christmas present though which will be hung somewhere in the garage not the best picture but you get the idea



    Think that gave him a bit of motivation, got the Porsche sorted, out and cracked back into some more work on the Nova

    Nice idea adding a stay rod. I might do something similar.

    You'd be crazy to use the orignal rubber part though they're all broken!
