Nova Turbo progress

[Lee H]

Thought it was about time I started a thread as the car should be back with me soon. Some of you may know my car, if not this is what it used to look like.





Took it off the road about 3 years ago and decided to strip it out and cage it and then things just snowballed as they do.





I'd had the car stitch welded and the welds smoothed in with filler and there were a couple of bubbles appearing so I decided to investigate and found that the car was rusting away under this. Nothing for it but to got the whole hog and bought new inner wings and turrets from Vauxhall and got the car trailered up to Chris Astley for fitting. At the same time I had the F28 mount fitted, seat rails fitted for the buckets and the rear of the car welded up to. Also had the front crossmember made flat to allow me to fit the intercooler behind the ctock GSi front bumper as I didn't like it on show. Some pics from the major urgery below.















Car came back and went to PMS in Birmingham for full repaint with new doors, wings and bonnet and all the underside cleaned and tidied up. It is still there at the moment but hoping to have it back next month to start on the building it back up with the new parts i've been collecting including WON nitrous kit. Will get more pics up on its return.
