right i got my old sr back because i missed it so much, and the lad who had it off me blew the head and had it re-built and its ran like a 1.2 ever since (and yes ive checked it is still the sr block and head and the weber carb i had on it when i sold it), the plan was to put a nova gsi engine that i bought on the weekend in the sr and run it on my weber 32/34 till i get some twin 40's but as any nova story goes, it didnt work out to well
heres how the car looked first thing sunday morning:
the engine:
the team:
ginge - the coachbuilder/fabricator and soon to be nova owner:
scott (N0V480I) :
and me zee sr owner/destroyer:
opbviously we were all a***ing around, a short while later this is what the sr looked like:
which is when we started to notice rust, and seriously; there was rust...:
note where the battery bay USED to be after i removed the makeshift fibreglass tray:
the front wing supports, or atleast whats left of them:
