My Turbo Nova

[conza123]

Right where do I begin,
after driving dirty diesels for a year i got bored ha ha ha ha so saw this shed on facebook and done a 450 mile round trip




it wernt the best example there where a few holes in the floor etc wanted a sill but was fast as fuck and ran alright so it was worth the money i paid even if i broke it at the end of the day

[conza123]

Then my m8 offered me a swap for this




it was a no brainier, i prefer novas and the nova is far better conversion etc so the swap was done and ended up with a nicer car

where he had stripped the back out and had no weight in it in switched ends on him and hit the kerb so 1st things 1st was to find out what was bent and get it all tracked up
on closer inspection the passenger bottom ball joint was bent


so i treated it to 2 new bottom ball joints, 2 new track rod ends and new passenger bottom arm

[conza123]

so i dug the racelines out the garage






so set all the tracking and got rid of the crap ebay steering wheel and now drives lovely

Looks like a decent thing have you got any further plans for it? Or just abuse for now

2 things. Arnt the bolt holes in the balls join offset anyway? Sure they are.
And in your wheel arch shot, there is a seam by the lower arm, i'd weld that up. That's the only one i've seen spilt apart.
And there is a big seem down the inner arch/ bit. I'd weld that one up too.

But liking the rest as you know.

it had a few of the plates welded in and a few seams done so mite end up dropping engine to tidy loom up etc so will go round then

if u look it curves and should be straight and the wheel was noticeably back in the arch
