    Pretty happy with the new addition to the Nova, been looking for one of these for some time and this popped up on Facebook.
    Looks like it’s chrome plated so means I now will probably need to do the oil cap and bolts to match.
    Also been looking at the hoses to run from the block to rocker. Think il be going with a 90 degree reducer to get down to the correct size of the crankcase breather box.

    So Friday and Saturday where planned to refit and line up the front bumper and sort the grill so it fits correctly.
    My advice is to not buy aftermarket grills!! Tbf the surround is fine but it’s the soft plastic inner that’s pants, just not hard enough to push and clip into the front panel. I could probably do with a inner from an original. Anyway this is how I got it.



    I’ve managed to remove a snapped thread from one of the bumper bar fixings that bolts into the drivers wheel arch, it only had 1 which left the bumper sitting wonky on that side. Should be finished hopefully tomorrow.

    An absolute ass to get the bumper on again, sitting better but still not perfect on the drivers side. I think it’s an aftermarket one, no part numbers on it and the mount holes don’t line up correctly with the bar.

    I think you have to accept it's very unlikely you'll ever get it perfect, I don't think I've ever had a Nova front bumper that has sat perfectly straight.

    I guess. Even in that picture the bonnet sits lower on the passenger side than the drivers. May be able to adjust that, or just being fussy.

    My gaps are terrible I've tried most things to sort them. It does annoy me but learn to live with it

    My main problem now other than it lining up is the engine is running like a dog. The carb had loads of little black bits in it and in the carbs filter. I thought i cleaned out all the jets but it just didn’t have full power today. I don’t know if my NEW fuel line is perishing or it’s come from the foam Ramair filter as there’s signs of singeing from I think the odd run on when shutting down the engine. Think I need to take the carb off for fall clean again
