I've just been offered something to good to miss out on, so i need idea's and some help later on.
Basically a mate of mine who does body work mods and spraying and stuff, has offered me a nova, modded to however i want, vents etc etc, and any colour of my choice for a very very reasonable price. At the moment its a standard 1.6 GTE, but ive got a 2.0 16v lump sitting in my garage destined for this car. he's in no rush to get rid and im in no rush to take it yet as i still have to sell my car.
Anyway i need idea's where to put vents, best place etc for the engine, engine is from a cavalier gsi, red top. i know all about the mounts and stuff, welding engine bay, i need to know best place to get the plates that need to be welded in to the engine bay to make it stronger etc. what other things should i do that will make life easier once's its all done any problems you 2.0 16v owners have come across now, i wanna do it the best way possible to avoid head ache in the future as i rely on my car a hell of a lot.
Im gonna keep the bodykit simple, gsi kit smoothed and dehandled etc.
Let me know of anything that i should do or avoid when getting the engine put in.
Any idea's are welcome.
Thanks
