    Default nova gsi...XE to LET

    ive just bought this nova as i was on the facebook page that brought memories back as i had a few over 6 years ago, so decided i was after either a red or black GSI and this came up pretty local to me, but i was offshore so i sent a mate down to buy it it did have a broken shaft so that's the first job

    the plan is to fit a LET engine and just see where it takes me

    i am pretty rusty having no played with an old nova in a few years so some people will get bombarded with question

    the car;

    ive now got a mate thats a professional race driver to get the engine bay both strengthened and stitch welded then painted all in the same place. but until he's home im just going to have some fun with it,

    while the dash is out for that i'll get it flocked aswell

    also fancy a set of these in 17" just as a change as im a bit of a wheel freak


    also baught equal length shafts last night as i wasnt everthing to be mega reliable as the bird will have some driving of this aswel


    the shafts that are in it now are gsi hubs and cavalier inners, thats the same as i had in my old corsa and 2 nova XE's years ago but ive never had these equal length so if you know where i can get appropriate hubs for these shafts would be great,

    im also away to get a kingdom front bumper as i want the front to look exactly like this
