do i remove the heater?

[novadose2009]

as i have removed the bulkhead in the nova if i use the heater while engine running it will blow the fumes into the car do i seal it and make a small stainless box around it or remove and smooth over it?

any opinions?

if you remove it you will need a heated screan for demisting just 1 thing to consider

did they do heated screens as standard in novas?

if so take it that would have been late mk2's or gte/gsi models only

Nope not as standard. You can buy aftermarket heated screens though. Costs about £180 or so IIRC

ok i no some people have heated front screens when they build rally and hillclimb cars ect maybe someone will have one forsale soon.

[Nova_Tek]

I've fitted one too. Have seen a couple screens some up for sale in the last couple months. I'm sure you'll find a used one soon otherwise here you go... http://www.heatedwindscreen.com/acatalog/vauxall-heated-windscreens.html

just leave the heater in place mate as it will work fine and the fume issues never bothered me.
