Had a little play with it today, but my neck and back are killing me, glad this is standard height.

Wiper motor has been changed back to a nova one.
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh30/AW_06/100_4035.jpg

I had to slight bodge the heater hose, I will change this at a later date, but it will do until i can find a proper way of doing it.
http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh30/AW_06/100_4034.jpg

Im going to order the inlet gasket in the morning, then its a long list of jobs to do:

Speedo Cable Gromit - Not sure how to do this, the hole in the bulkhead is a bit small :eek:
Replace All Jubliee clips
Replace Top Header Tank Hose for a standard uncut (Anybody got one?!)
Fit Blukhead Gromits
Oil Breather - Need to do something about it, the standard pipe hits the servo, but it needs to look neat.
Replace Thermostat
Retape Car Loom Using Fabric tape
Tidy/hide (as much as i can easily) both Engine and Car loom.
Hide Map Sensor
Hide SAI Vac-Valve
Replace Dipstick
Shorten Fuel Lines
Paint exhaust Manifold
Clean up master cylinder.

Without doing any of the MOT work lol

Feck off you lightweight lol Get the damn Nova finished you've never even used it properly :roll: what a waste :p
AlexW
23-06-10, 03:52 PM
I cba to finish it, i hate it, it needs more money than i want to spend on it, and the fact its been sat on my mums drive for 9 months proves i cba with it.
Plug
23-06-10, 03:56 PM
come on mate we all get times like that.

Im having to take a loan for far to much money to get mine through the MOT but its my little beast lol why not spend the dolla
AlexW
23-06-10, 04:00 PM
Simply because id rather spend the money on the other cars.

I dont love the nova, not like i used to. If i cba, i wont, the longer it sits there the longer it will annoy me.

I know ive said about breaking this before, but this time its really happening, pissed me off.
Southie
23-06-10, 04:01 PM
Your the one who's started the "how too thread" for the c-x16xe conversion and you cannot be arsed, shame on you :p Come on lad what wrong with it anyway?
Mines off the road again but it costs less to fix than most cars so whats your excuse. I suspect you've bought too many car and think you'll get more with this ;)

Love you, you fudger lol
AlexW
23-06-10, 04:05 PM
I would do another smallblock conversion, but not my own, or on this car. Its not the engine that is pissing me off, its the whole package.
It will never be the car i want it to be, so i was going to sell it, but there is so much needed to do, and there is no guarantee it would sell.

Once ive got money to spend, il buy another nova, but i just cba with this one.
Somebody said i had owned it too long, too true!
Southie
23-06-10, 04:08 PM
Well if the shells good then why sell and then buy another later, sorry but your a lightweight :p
AlexW
23-06-10, 04:09 PM
Yep lightweight indeed.
I simply cant have this shell sat around, if i built it up again, it would be the same...

Id rather have 18 months away from novas, pour money in the corsa and then come out the otherside (Once crashing due to the 12v power) and be a much happier person than i am now.
Southie
23-06-10, 04:12 PM
Good luck then ;)

RIP? It's only missing 2 wheels lol
AlexW
24-06-10, 06:31 PM
Nope, now its missing the engine, gearbox, and more is to come.

25-06-10, 04:25 AM
Surely tho if you want to return to nova's in 18 months you would want a decent shell ? Which you already have, makes sense to keep the shell no ?
AlexW
25-06-10, 08:54 AM
Id want a mk1, and if i was to keep this shell, 18months down the line and it would be funked.
spunkeymonkey
