I wanted to put this engine in from the start but thought a x16xe would be more sensible then thought sod it lets go pure retro.
And I will be at retro rides in it

Alex I will be down Combe on the 27th and should be in the nova if I can get it sorted in time

As the sun was out yesterday I thought I would get a bit more done as I have the nova booked in for its mot next Saturday.
First job was to fit the front brakes and blead the system as I fitted a gte servo/master cylinder when I fitted the engine


Then I thought I would fit the fuel pressure gauge to see if the regulator was set at a good pressure. The car is booked in at mech motorsport on the 26th for the carbs to be set




This is what the finish article looks like ( exhaust is being made on the 20th )

looks cool good job big

[scott.parker]

That's proper smart Chris, looks really clean, where's the grill badge?

Looking nice, love silver mk1 nova's

[chris gsi]

The best up date so far the nova is now on the road as its just pass its mot and now has 12 months tax

[chris gsi]

Yesterday I took the car to infinity exhausts near Bristol to get the exhaust system made as I did not want a load exhaust as the carbs make enough noise







Looking forward to Friday now to get the nova on the rollers to have carbs set up
