Fit it all back together...

I have sooooo many new parts to go in it's a little worrying..lol

Poly windows, heated screen, disc rear axle with all new Astra MK4 brakes, willwood front brakes, OBP pedal box etc etc etc, the engine and box are ready to drop in, I should be picking up my shifter, cables and turret friday.

It's going to be a pic whore contest when it's been painted lol

Sounds good though getting everything ready to bolt back in/on

[Mark]

Yes, should be fun..lol

Cable shift = best mod ever

[Mark]

I certainly hope so..

[thegingerwhinger]

would the cable shift work on an f20 box if you were to change the turret on top of the box?

[Mark]

Don't know if the turret top on a big block is the same as a small block, if it is, yes, if not you need to adapt it from an F23 or similar at a guess but I'm not 100%

[Will F]

Turrets won't fit and you'd need to ally weld brackets etc for the cables, so very unlikely

Humm, see i dont think that the one on my MK4 Astra is as quick or smooth to engage like the rod types Ive had on the nova's..

[Mark]

[Mark]

Right, got the correct bracket for the gearbox, so connected it up and hey presto, 5 forward speeds and 1 reverse...easy.

Sooooo much easier lining your gears up now Mark, bye bye drill bit in the gearbox for lining up now lol

[Mark]

Yep..lol

You know it's good when you can use it on the floor...Try changing gear with the standard setup off the car..not going to happen. lol

[Southie]

lol I can see this being the latest new mod to most Novas now though.

[Mark]

Good luck to them..lol

[Mark]

Loaded..

[scott.parker]

Why??

[Benn]

Such a shame.

[Mark]

Oh well, it's gone and I'll have an easier life because of it.

[Edd]

Who bought it?

Will they be finishing it off? Or just selling the parts off?

[Mark]

A friend.

Yes, it'll be finished.
