Nova Sport : C464 HKX a very slow WIP

[Royston]

As Paul one of the previous owners of my second Sport had been searching for her, thought I'd better post up some photo's.

I bought her to ensure another sport didn't get broken, and had the space and some cash at the time;) and has sat waiting pationly since April 08.

She is currently stored away, but I have be accumulating parts for the eventual restoration.
It still has her origonal doors as well !!
Don't have many photo's at the moment but here's what I've gotlol

She has been partly restored, Rich's (Novasport) photo's show more but is basically complete.
http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91179&page=4

If I can complete her to a similar standard as the SR I will be pleased.
Esencially I intend to keep her looking as she should, but hopefully some engine mods to let her breathe a little more:)

These are my other two Nova's my B reg 1.3SR and my other C reg Sport if you didn't know already(This Sport is having a little bodywork repair before Billing;) )

[Spudly]

I have managed to get hold of....

Radio blank, clock blank, heater blanks (spares)

Set of wheel trims,

A set of shelf supports (with speakers)

Thanks to those who have assisted me, so far you know who you are;)

Will hopefully get her out of storage into my main shed and maybe get some photo's up:)

[Andy]

so basically all youve done is take pics? lol
Only joking mate,looks pretty solid.Glad to see another one being saved!

[Royston]

Finally getting motivated to move the Sport at the weekend from her current home for 2 years (a wagon body) into my main shed, will hopefully get some upto date pictures posted for you all;)

For the moment this will have to dolol

This is his second Sport he bought off a mate of mine a couple of years ago.

[novacabrio]

Crack on with it fella!

I think my spider may be on the road before this one!! It took him 15 years to build his SR!

[Edd]

Didn't think there was anyone slower at building a Nova than you Mark :d

[corsamalaga]

The truth is that this post can be an interesting friend of mine, to without I will follow it attentivly.

Comments on the auto body since I see her very well also, another thing that I do not understand is the following one. Are you going to leave it of statics or simply of racing? In end a greeting and much I encourage for your project.

Talk about greedlol

Greedy maybe, but it stops it getting into the hands of the wrong type of person ;)

Hi CorsaMalaga,

I'm not sure what spec the car will be when finished, certainly returned to her former glory in "Sport" trim

Engine spec will probably be developed from the standard Sport spec, i.e. plus big valve head polished & ported, high lift cam (she currentl;y has a std SR cam I think (marked with a "B")

But plenty of time for that, need to assess the shell thoroughly and strip her dont for remedial work!!;)

If I ever get over to the Caterpillar Malaga site (I work for Cat) maybe get chance for a beer;) lol

[paulyb]

Thread resurrection! lol, Nice to see you saved my old car C464 hkx, :)

Have you got any more upto date pictures on if or how the restoration has progressed, as would love to see, cheers Paul.

Btw I'm not owning up to the Max Power tax disc holder:p

[Novasport]

Hi, was it yourself that sold it to Phil from Derby? He bought it around 1999-2000 but never got it on the road. He is a good friend of mine and there was five of us that all had Sport's at the time.
Royston still has the car but he has a lot of projects on the go so he has not made a start on it yet. I am sure he will be on here shortly to fill you in.

[paulyb]

It was me that sold it to Phil from Derby, I remember about five lads turning up at my house in Coventry to buy it. :D I bought it from Jason Lepley motorsport in Mansfield and had it for about two years, got a bit nostalgic when I seen the 300bhp 4x4 one in total vauxhall and searched again today for C464 HKX sad but true!

[Nick J]

Never seen this one before Royston! glad to see a sport project in safe hands. ;)

Nick.

[Novasport]

I know Jim & Craig went with Phil to buy it and Craig drove it home AFAIK as Phil wasn't driving at the time. They were also Sport owners and Craig had also bought his Sport(A13 SPT) from Lepley's aswell.
Phil and his dad started a resto but it never got finished, he said he wanted to sell so I helped him out & luckily Royston offered to buy it.

[paulyb]

Cheers Novasport, just been reading the various links on the for sale thread and this one, nice to see its survived, Would Royston be interested in selling the car? Would be nice to have it back after 14 years :D

[Novasport]

Just BBM'd him, I am sure he will be on shortly and would answer that.

[paulyb]

Cheers Novasport!

[Novasport]

.I bought her to ensure another sport didn't get broken, and had the space and some cash at the time;) and has sat waiting pationly since April 08.

Sh!t the bed, has it really been four and a half years since you got this!!!

[Royston]

Sh!t the bed, has it really been four and a half years since you got this!!!

Sorry I haven't responded sooner, I was out for an Indian last night and in late:d

Yes it has:eek: doesn't time fly, when I bought her I was initially to ensure she didn't get broken, and a few months later we sold the business premises and bought our current home, and all the toys were in "compact" storage.

Since then we have built a "Large" toy shed where all the cars, etc now reside.

Since buying her I have accumulated the few missing parts required, plus a few other items, currently the intention is to restore her at some point, and is therefore not for sale, this may change at some point in the future.

I have all the facilities and equipment to restore her, but not the time at the moment, she is in safe hands;)

Watch this space............

[paulyb]

Cheers for the reply Royston, It's a pity the car isn't for sale as wanted to restore the car as have regretted selling for many years, and I fear if you restored the car it would be way out of my league.

I will pm you my mobile number and email address, could I be cheeky and ask for first refusal if you sell the car as it is or when it's restored?

This is the first time I have seen this thread since 2010 when I first started looking for the car, but always remember how quick, fun and the noise of the thing couldn't fail to put a smile on my face everytime I drove it! :)

[Royston]

Well, been a while, I have started to prepare her for Billing 2015

Here are a few pics

Hoovered the carpet

Ah bugger, that has made a bit of a mess :(. You reckon the head and block are salvageable or is it scrap?

[Royston]

Never say Die;)

You know those high compression pistons you have..........................:d

[Novasport]

You need to use those 12ST ones you had off me ;)

[Andy]

that will repair.Looks worse than is.
May have bent the rod though.
They cost pence to refurb anyway.

[Royston]

I'm not particularly worried by the state it's in, I was hoping to just get her running.

Will have to consider what build spec.............:d

[Royston]

Made a little more progress........

Had a little bit of luck today, the LH gutter trim (which appears to be the original) came off in one piece, Phew! any one got a RH early gutter trim available????

[Southie]

Nice to see your cracking on with this after such a long time, can't be many people who own 2 sports!!!

[Royston]

Little update,

the engine came out today, pics to follow;)

[Royston]

As mentioned yesterday I finally got round to removing the engine ready for rebuild, wasn't sure it would come out separately splitting it from the gearbox, but I managed (had to split the clutch cover off the flywheel, clutch assembly looked fairly fresh, with little wear )

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v697/1297cc/20141025_152252__zpse88dc0d7.jpg

engine balanced quite well on the strop,
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v697/1297cc/20141025_152659__zpsf874233d.jpg

Drained the oil off, looks nice and black
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v697/1297cc/20141025_153328__zps26ff6a9a.jpg

Next stage to get the engine stripped down and cleaned ready for rebuild, No 1 bore is trashed so will require rebore and new pistons. Plan is to get the internals balanced while stripped, need to decide on head work, etc


also pulled together the 5 off 5J x13" steel Sport rims, new one sourced from Germany) took me 7 years to find five!!

Excuse the feet:d


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v697/1297cc/20141026_152720__zpsba427fdc.jpg

[totalnova]

it will be nice and shiny when you get it back. How mad are you going with the rebore?

[Royston]

Got 2 options 0.5mm oversize or go for 1.2 pistons, luckily I have both in stock.

Need to look into the compression ratio with the reduced dish of the 1.2 pistons against 1.3

Not sure of the full spec yet, but rest assured it will fly for a small block 8V

[Jonesfach]

Made a little more progress........

Had a little bit of luck today, the LH gutter trim (which appears to be the original) came off in one piece, Phew! any one got a RH early gutter trim available????

Got a set of gutter trims stored safely. Let me know when you want them. All yours for a sensible price.
i am over in Wrexham so you can plan to pick them up at some point. No rush.

Much appreciated, pm sent.

Overall I have most of the parts available, but do need a pair of the brown rear arch covers, and maybe a boot carpet as the one I have is a little tatty.......anyone:d

[Royston]

Finally got round top stripping the engine!

A few pictures, engine needs a rebore, but was serviceable, the white metal bearings were OK as is the crank.

Have you managed to save the original interior?

[Royston]

Have you managed to save the original interior?

The interior is what came with it, the rear bench is in pretty good condition, has been taped up in bin liners for the past eight years, first time out!

[sport]

Will feel like a milestone reached with the interior back in.

[Royston]

Will feel like a milestone reached with the interior back in.

To be honest I intend taking the car basically as is, it will need a full strip down to restore, but that won't happen this year.

Engine require a rebore and refresh, not sure on spec yet........

[Royston]

Been busy today, Full interior now fitted, need to source a pair of brown arch covers, but apart from that it's all there, both front seats are in good condition, but there is a little wear on the drivers but it is minimal

[craig green]

Christ! That head.

[Royston]

Christ! That head.

Yes engine had stood 15 years with coolant in No 1 bore and head, un be known to me since I bought it (@8 years)

[craig green]

Woah. It looks like it too. I hope it's saveable at any rate.
You mention the bores in the block, is the head OK? I'd have expected some heavy corrosion/pitting of the alloy?

[Jonesfach]

If you get the head all done up, it is a bit risky, as you don't know what the damage/corrosion wise is - where you can't see.

plenty of heads knocking about that won't cost the earth.....you will have to spend a few quid to get that one sorted anyways !

[jimbob-mcgrew]

nice engine strip-down pics on the previous pages :thumb:

only 7 years to find a matching set of wheels lol

that head looks good and crusty lol .... may need a light skim, and the valves lapping in, but i reckon it'll most probably be alright.

like yours, my nova was sat in a garage for years un-used too, so i should probably think about doing the head gasket on it, before it corrodes away. ive had one fail like that in the past.

[Royston]

Sorry for the lack of recent updates

But here is the latest, I need to post some pics up, but I have built an engine to go in from parts I had, I will rebuild the original engine later to a high spec later when the car is properly restored

Engine spec is

1.3 with 1.0mm overbore, and decked
Intenals balanced, with lightened con rods, new pistons
1.2 head, skimmed
1.3 head gasket
Kent AST1 cam

It was suppose to be a cheap interim engine, but never mind.

Hopefully today the engine and box will be back in.

Really up against it to get her running for Biling, due to work but will be there one way or another!

[Royston]

Big thank you to my friend Stuart,

Today we managed to......

Connect the handbrake cable
Fit the back box and centre section of the exhaust....loosely
Fitted the exhaust manifold
Run in the fuel lines
Fitted the tank filler pipe
Secured the tank
Fitted some Delco front calipers
Fitted the engine and gearbox
refitted the front suspension
Got her back on her wheels, pushed her back in the shed

A few pictures....

Took a while to get the oil pressure up and be confident she wouldn't seize up on first fire:eek:

Pleased to say that the engine runs so smoothly and sounds great

A few more minor jobs to complete and she should be ready for Billing!:d

Need to get some prep work done on the other one now

Cracking stuff well done.always a nice feeling when they run spot on after a rebuild isnt it!

Its always a bit scary when you turn that key for the first time live!:eek: there's always a nagging doubt you have forgotten some thing.......

Other Sport has been away for a few weeks getting set up, as she had a few running issues, but should be back next week. Cant wait to have her out on the road stretching the forties:d

[Andy]

Yeah i know exactly what you mean lol im especially paranoid since my 205 gti caught fire during bleeding the coolant after an alternator problem lol
Did you replace the lifters on this btw? I have a thread up in mechanical about a problem.If so who did you use? Ive read some are terrible.

[Royston]

Yes I fitted all new hydraulic lifters, cam followers and thrust pads, all were sourced through my local machine shop, he also balanced all the internals, did all the skims and supplied the gaskets.

Cant remember the brand, will try and check in the rubbish bag!

[Royston]

Adjusted the ger linkage now, can now select gears to go forward and backwards!:)

Better try and bleed the brakes I suppose:eek:

[Royston]

Got the final look for Billing.

What do you think

Will add a little white primer to the rear arches, got the brakes to sort and a few other jobs

[NovalutionGSi]

Looks good Royston.... will take the chairman's Cup that! lol

[Royston]

Not even planning to wash her

[Jonesfach]

Nice work.:thumb:

[Royston]

Well had a fright yesterday, the cam belt stripped:eek: it was a Kent Cam belt too, was just beginning to think the tension was a little high.

I should know better.............

Luckily no damage, fitted another belt............Phew;)

Just a few jobs left, brakes to bleed, cam belt cover, and an oil filter to change.

Soon be Billing:d



Had the other sport tuned up and out on the road, goes quite well!!!

Used it as a run around this morning getting a few bits and bobs for Sport2

[therealnovaboy]

good news it was an easy fix.

[bighed]

Just read back from the start. Good work. Loving your other sport. Jammy barsteward having 2 though :thumb::thumb:
