where do i start, ive bee building my nova over a period of 3 years so its not the most organised of builds, plus didnt know a thing about cars before i started the project, so its been a struggle. I have decided to start from fresh, im not happy with my first attempt, its a bit shabby, i got some decent parts so i figured i may as well do it proply, ( see my thread "nova rebuild, take 2")
anyway, i had to move the car from the garage it was in to the yard ive got to crack on with the project. i got the nova prepared for towing, it took a while as the only thing on the shell was the steering rack and i only had half a day to do it, i thought it was ok but unfortunately not.... i hooked the nova up to my van on an A frame and set off, all was well till we got about a mile to the yard, a nasty grinding noise was coming from the nove, we got it back and had a good look, it turns out i fekd up and previously hadn't fitted the offside cv boot that goes into the gearbox so the splines on the end of the cv where i asume grinding on the grooves in the gearbox ,if you know what i mean...
can anyone shed some light on my situation? it would be much appreciated :thumb:
