time for an update i think ;)
well burgo and i spent a good few hours today scraching our heads and messing around with wiring and coils.
All good fun but after replacing 2 coils and making a ht lead with a self tapper it finaly runs!
the highlight off the day would be taking the key out of the ignition and the nova carried on running! lol had to be there
many thanks to burgo rep+

It was for sale a while back, CoupeUK's mate built it and stubs was going to buy it buy it got sold the day we went to collect it lol. It had all the bits, boddy work needed tidying but wasn't bad for the money then. Think he wanted £600 etc etc
cheers chimp007 just would like to know if the engine is standard?

no worries mate nice to meet you to
keep an eye out for the pics we got a bit carried away!lol
well as ive booked my tickets for pv i thiught i had better pull my finger out and get it sorted!
so today i started the welding i cut out the os sill and put a new one in!
only my welder was being a ar*e and was cutting out every 10 seconds so it just looks like pigeon poo at the mo.
other side to do tomorrow and a few more plates then make up some brake pipes then its mot time!!!
started the ns sill today and wot fun ive had. when cutting out the old sill i found a previous repair body filler where the quauter panel meets the sill it must have been out 1cm thick.
so ive had to cut a massive chunk out of the quarter panel to get to something i can weld to then found the inner arch is falling to bits . any way the repair panel is now cut so it fits and will be welding it all in tomorrow!
also was welding in the rain wont be doing that again lol!
welding in the rain is good fun lol

Just checking out the thread, and I knew that number plate and gsi bumber missing the cover looked familier!

What a classic welding mask. lol
Sure I had some pics from when I put the turrets and golf braked beam in...but soo long ago now.
Good to see its still about anyway! And good luck with the repairs! :thumb:
Cheers austin!
ive almost got it finished now made up some brake pipes over the weekend and fitted a new master cylinder bleeding them up tomorrow!
and fitting the gte skirts tomorrow!
Only problem now is will be unemployed after next monday!
I bloody wanted this car just over 12 months ago :( came so close to getting it and the bugger got sold whilst I was getting the money out :cry:
I dont suppose you'd be wanting to sell it now would you? If it's road worthy I'd be 100% interested. The headgasket's just gone on my mondeo and rather than repair it, this would make a nice replacment just in time for PVS :tard:
its getting there now just having a few probs with the brakes they aint bleeding through and its doing my head in lol!
mot is booked for friday!
