    Looks brilliant and that turbo looks like it could eat children.

    Default The fastest Nova in the world

    No huge updates other than I got some bits zinc coated



    And the axle and front subframe powder coated





    And reassembled to get it rolling



    Had a nightmare job of having to wire wheel the entire cage down as it had started to oxidise, took days upon days but now coated in a washprimer




    May not be any huge progress for a while as I’ve just sold the house so I’ve got to put everything into storage for a year until the new house is ready, hopefully be able to continue with other things in the mean time

    Coated parts look ace; you might consider vertical bolts dropped in from the top (should the worst ever happen).

    That turbo & manifold should be good for huge horsepower; but the inlet is to come..? Will the corner weights be alright with you & all the tube surrounding on the drivers side?

    Did I ask before (apologies if so) is there a good reason for going ecotech as a starting point or is it just for ease of M32?

    M32 would be same for on a red top.
    Main reasons being older heads are getting hard to find and old blocks are a softer material they wear a lot quicker.
