While the Nova have been at my other half's parents due to my parents moving to thier new house, I cracked on with putting the engine back together.
Including some painted bits (oil pressure gauge), big valve head, cam and of course the Twins of 40!

Good work that. Block looks good
Cheers bud.
Just about to order cambelt cover, cambelt and water pump and a new clutch.
Then look at the gearbox... I'm not sure if it's got any oil in it...

Filters are for wusses
looks a great build
So update time.
Engine has built up, new cambelt, water pump, gaskets the lot.
Decided to give the cam cover something different to give a nod back to what the car is. Decal reproduced by a mate and sent over to Underwraps in Norwich.
Add to that the red stainless bolts as well.
Also bought a fuel pump, pressure regulator and oil catch can.
What I didn't know was I needed to lower the Alternator, so new bracket for that and bought a rose jointed turnbuckle to help adjust the aux belt.
Did a bit of CAD work for the catch can.

From the CAD, I asked one of the guys at work to get a couple of strips cut to start making a bracket.
Not bad for a DIY bracket, just needs painting white and it may need a support at the back.

It isn't a Nova if it hasn't got a roll cage or sound system. With this not really ever going to be a track car and after finding my other half's old Kicker Sub, operation BOOM BOOM was a go. I went with a false floor option and really makes the boot look a lot neater.
And to bring it up to date, the Alpine ezi-dab-go unit, now all 3 cars in the fleet have DAB, the Focus since a LED light conversion drops out when I brake, the Golf just has crap reception whereas the Nova as probably the best dab out of the lot.
