Nova's looking well Martin, Sorry to see your breaking it.
Benn, The Radiator is quite small width wise, but is taller and thicker than standard and copes well from my experience, it was all designed to sit straight across the front and for the Radiator and Fan to sit to the side of the Turbo and be tidy and discreet.
The hub carrier's are machined out to accept a larger bearing (from memory it was Sherpa Van or truck of some sort) and there is a retaining cap that holds it all in place. These hubs are an awesome bit of kit and I would be surprised if they don't get snapped up.

That picture for the png meet was in 2001/2? At Coventry exhibition center, i was there mate.
Martin Kelson won again
Love your car, can believe your breaking it..
Cant eve. Remember attending let alone winning!!
Top Nova, really Top.
Oh right, i've looked at yours and Keiths, but clearly never enough. I always took it the rad was full length..
I like how that's done, Gives lots of clearance. Something i've had loads of probs with.
Hub one is new, never heard of using van ones. Very interesting way of doing it. If i even need to change i'm gonna use the Audi bearing route.
All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one PepsiFar from suicidalStill I get them tendenciesBringing back them memories
That I really miss when I reminisce
your welcome - in terms of another Vauxhall project, probably not. My 2 year old daughter takes up a lot of my time so I doubt I'll go down the modified route again.
It was in Coventry Scott, that's correct. I can't remember who won either though!That picture for the png meet was in 2001/2? At Coventry exhibition center, i was there mate.

Wheels are powdercoated anthracite & the bumpers/skirts are as they came - original finish.
would be good if some firm could make them intercooler and rad setup that would be reasonable priced
I guessed the wheels had been painted then the same paint used but with a matting agent for the bumpers. Really is Stunning nova mate. Ive got a little lad who's 5 an when he was younger i always seemed to be short of time but Now hes a bit bigger i seem to have a bit more time on my hands he now seems to love my nova. IMO u should keep it in storage and wait till your daughters a bit older, imagine going the car shows etc with her in a few years time in it and everybody admiring her dads ride
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”
