First to fly the nest are the sideskirts... Gash items IMO, free to a good home... i.e. a bin

After an almighty t-cut and a polish, plans are to drop it 60mm all round, I've got some white
five spoke 15's coming to go on it, a 4-1 manifold following through to a decat SR
system and red SR seats.

Should make a nice tidy 1200 8v runaround for now! :thumb:

Looks good, Im guessing it needs a drivers door aswell ?

[Southie]

It's going to be a minter lol Is the other half having it?

Dread to think of what rot may be hiding under them awful skirts :eek:

[Maka]

Yea the drivers door is well beyond repair... Peeled back the tape just
now on my dinner to reveal a missing corner haha!

Removed the sideskirts aswell to reveal a nice pair of straight
and unbent clean sills, albeit for the three holes a side where the
self tappers have been.

Best thing is the lad had it advertised as spares/repairs because it
would only run for 10secs or so then cut out, said some mechanic
had diagnosed the distributor/coil. Took his word for it and towed
it home, went to the unit on dinner today with a jerry can, put
some juice in it and it fired straight up and sat there running smoothly!

I'd like to know who the mechanic was because they need to get
back to basics!!

Novabikecarbed - No its not for the missus its all mine haha.
Let the 18e get a bit of rest and save some fuel money whilst
running the 1200! Also lets me get on with a few bits on that
shell which need attending to.

[Novaboi_1991]

jesus theyre all popping up now... lol

check my sig out mate...

[Maka]

Steve- No mate dont have any saloon spares sorry,
Im looking for a set of doors though if you know anyone?

Novaboi- Loving your loon fella, really feeling these cars now!
No one round here hardly knows that saloon novas were made,
cant wait to get it out on the road next week!!

Fitted the 4-1 manifold, 1400 decat system and SR front seats today,
the back bench is far too comfy to rip out- couldnt bring myself to do it.
Plus it doesnt have any 60/40 brackets and I dont have any spare.

Also fitted some hatchback -40 springs on the back end, fronts still standard
so it looks like a boat planing haha
