Hi this is my nova i am useless on computers so bear with me lol I've been doing this since dec 08 complete nut and bolt job and ever last mm down to bear metal.

Some of you might remember davey c, I think thats was his user name when he was selling it. Its that one so the subframe and box section was already done. Its a corsa rear subframe.

Suspension is fk front coil over poly bussed with upper and lower strut bracies and gte tie rod bars. The rear is all corsa c arm anti roll bar and the front anti roll bar is off a gte nova.

Its a e16se with twin 40 carbs, piper fast road cam and piper vernier pully. Its been totally rebuilt, new rings, shells, oil pump, valve springs, collets, the lot. The water system is 35 mm copper pipe with a nova diesal rad and two kenlow slim fans and electric water pump. gotta stay below 5000rpm for 500miles to run in this wouldnt been done

Brakes at front are the usual 258mm ebc grovved and drilled disc with ebc yellow stuff pads. For rear brakes they are mk 5 astra lucas rear calipers and cables with pug 106 disc and ebc racing pads. There on corsa c front hubs with the rear coil overs off the front of a corsa c. Harry hockley bias peddal box.

Inside car are the water fuel and brake pipe. Black gsi dash with mk2 digital dash.

The fuel tank and stainless manifold and rear exhaust was made buy AWE on the Rushock trading estate droitwhich rd westmids big thanks to them.

Body wise just wide arch kit and cav wheels with toyo proxies. Rear and side poly carb windows .gsi spolier

Took out for first time today all went well woohoo having suspension set up thursday by pros

If wasnt for a few good mates with best welder in world and mike turbo for ideas water pipes and sorting me out with some one to spray it .

Thanks all for intrest and hope to see at shows this year if weather holds up.
