    Thank you very much, I do like a factory look when carrying out conversions especially with the amount of thrown in unsafe projects about.

    A little update, mounted the Cav rear ARB and changed the rear springs.

    Basically made some plates, offered up the ARB and welded them and two bolts to the beam to mount it too. Painted the bare metal and job done.





    Photos aren't the best due to the light but you get the idea.

    After going for a quick spin I was very impressed with the improvement, feels much firmer, seems to turn in easier and flatter too. Overall its the best £7 I have ever spent on Car!

    I would recommend it to anyone with a Nova!

    Next job is to change the fuel tank, that is for another day though.

    Dan.

    Thanks, I believe it is a worth while mod on any front wheel drive car.

    I called DVLA up this morning as my log book hadn't come back after nearly 2 months even though I received the correct tax disc at the end of November. After ten minutes on the phone they basically admitted there had been a mix up between departments.

    Any way just checked and it has finally been updated.

    Hello,
    Where did you buy the rear sway bar? I also have a Nova saloon and am very interested in this improvement. Best Regards.
