Matt's Mincing around.

[MattBrown]

Hey up all.

Decided to start a thread of all my mincing, akin to LeeLegs just not as big (or as many cars lol)

So where to begin.

I had a C reg 1.0, came cheap, was rotten, did some welding, saw my ****, scrapped it.

I scrapped it because this L Reg GSI shell came along, and was a lot beter then what I had x 100000.

So as per, cash, trailer, towcar, collected. No messing lol

Shes a 1993 L reg GSI, 85k from new, Part history, Been around the scene for a while.

Shes had an E16, 20SEH, C20Let (never used) and now a carbed C20XE.

The plans are the keep her tidy, clean, simple etc, standard insides.

Super low on speedlines, with the compulsort Seat Cordura splitter.

Other plans are to rebuild my C20LET for the 2013 show season.

Dont really plan on using her much, just sit there, and occasional track day maybe, or just sit therelol

Money is tight as per, lottery winnings have gone, and dads taken back his credit card:roll: So as per all the other projects im payinglol :d

Erm, lets keep it light hearted, and a bit of fun to read/laugh at what im up to.

Ill upload some pics onto the next post.

Minty mint back pannel:thumb:

[brownbear]

Bang Tidy fella!!

[ryansnova]

looks clean mate :)

[MattBrown]

Being a huge fan of the "Redtop" engine, it was the only choice:d

So off I trotted with mine to Flintshire Performance Engines (Phillip) on here.

He was mega busy putting together a Corsa Turbo for PVS, so gave me the tools, and shouted torque figures to me on the rebuild.

Only got a few pics but you get the idea:thumb:

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/Lucy%20L%20Reg%20Nova%20GSI%20Project/247512_10150633174945634_760175633_19139343_773043 1_n.jpg

Sexy looking Kent vernier pullies. (come with no bloody timing marks, but I figured it out in the end)

After the engine was built, it was turned over on the bar etc, after being filled with oil.

Then I headed for the garage (Cheers grandma and grandad lol)

And fired her in, now, because im a hero, and decided solid mounts would be "ace mate" I offered the first one up, no worries, rear is in, then the front gearbox mount, again no real issues.

Then the engine mount, FOOK me she was hard, 2 hours of bars, jacks, ropes, cranes everything. Finally got her in about 1am, this was enough for me, so came home

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/Lucy%20L%20Reg%20Nova%20GSI%20Project/248218_10150633176735634_760175633_19139351_500355 6_n.jpg

Then I went down again, after work, all alone:( lol

I have now got the rad, wiring loom, slam pannel, tanks (Tempory, bailey ones on order) and the inlet for the carbs on.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/Lucy%20L%20Reg%20Nova%20GSI%20Project/254471_10150649557475634_760175633_19352509_607847 5_n.jpg

Then found out I had to take the inlet back off, to let me drill and tap the vaccuum take off for the brake servo lol

So shes now back off. :roll:

I also made the exhaust system up, GTE manifold, cut down fitted to a full stainless system, with 2" backbox.


Thats how its all sat at the min, the suspention is off as I have a set of brand new Gaz coilovers, full polybush kit and a new set of hubs, wishbones and 22mm tie bars to go on.

I have decided to take the bigblock stuff off, and have a set of GTE shafts with 4 brand new CVs on.

Plans for tommorow are to drill and tap the inlet, then refit.

Collect my fuel pump cradle nuts from the dealers, and fit my facet silver top and filter.

Then fit the other wing, refit the other skirt, and maybe weld the 2 plates onto the sill that are needed.

Other jobs include removing the steering rack and making the exhaust sit higher.

Hope it wasnt too boringlol

Matt

[Danny s-p]

so who is the j reg nova

[ryansnova]

FYI I pay for everything myself.

I never won the lottery either, it's an on going joke.

[Big-Mike]

that's shaping up to be a tidy engine bay!

[Edd]

Nice gsi Matt :)

Nice write up as well, good luck with the rest of it

[MattBrown]

Cheers fellas.

Its gonna be clean enough in the bay.

Phase 2 of the rebuild is where I will go crazy, planning 2 new quater pannels and a full respray including the bay.

The paint on the car is probably a 9/10, but the bay is probably a 6/10.

It looks "Presentable" and could be shown, but I want it cleaner and cleaner every time I look at it lol

More shiny bits have been ordered, Bailey header tank, Wiper cover, Oil pipe and water pipe. Chrome bonnet stay and polished brake servo cover.

Also worth noting is the exhaust is for some reason sat way to the left, so this will be cut and modified once its running etc.

[MattBrown]

Lovely car Matt, like your plans for it. How many L reg GSi's are left now?

No idea pal, I was "Told" there was only 6 GSI's on an L reg, but I know of 2, so unless theyre very lucky, I think there was afew more then 6lol

[simonm]

Anyway car is looking good, keep up the work.

[mk1nova_rich]

Looking nice Matt, shame to get rid of the red one but I can certainly see the logic in buying this. Good luck with it :thumb:

[MattBrown]

It was a no brainer buying the GSI.

Its not "mint" but its certainly very presentable:thumb:

And my dad does the classic bikes, old BSA's are cool:d

I need to commit more to the nova, and stop buying/playing with other toyslol

Good luck with the car its looking ace. +Rep

[MattBrown]

Been a busy few weeks.

Not much has happened on lucy, as Ive been playing KTM and Bought a GSXR600

I have also done my CBT, got my theory and mod 1 bike test coming up.

I did manage to collect my Twin weber DCOE45s off Ben (Sr-Rally)

I also put my wind deflectors on, and had a mince with my inlet manifold, drilling and tapping etc.

I have ordered my misab plates, chokes and rose joints for my gear linkage.

Right then, her indoors 306 died a death, so I have gone and got her another one to run around in, 1400cc, air con, electric everything, 80k, taxed and tested with the gearbox gone £215. BARGAIN imo.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/a9e8a016.jpg

I have now machine polished my dailey van too:

Then the new toys:D

Its a Suzuki GSXR 600, K3, 2003 model, with only 4800 miles from new, fella in work has it for a while, always garaged never seen rain etc. I fell in love with her, and couldnt say no at the money he wanted:)

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/6abd60c8.jpg

Im interested in the alternator setup, as mine fouls the carbs:(

I also spotted some cool as **** cars around chester last week:

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/2998ee14.jpg

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/e83b0a6c.jpg

Went to the scrap yard, and in a corner, behind the crusher sits....

A Nissan Skyline R34 GTR V-Spec.

Turns out it was taken off some chavs by the bailiffs, they then realised it had been robbed, crashed and started to strip it.

Its going "Skidding" in poland. He means drifting I think lol

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/a270ffa4.jpg

Couldnt believe it, £30k car, robbed and ruined like this:(

[Mike]

Skidding is drifting. Its what the cool kids call it.

[simonm]

bike looks mint matt lovely bike to ride to i have a k2 750 myself and love it best of luck with it ill try get some pics up over the next few days

[steviegsi]

That gsxr is beautiful, best colour scheme too. Quite a collection of playthings you've got there.

Any lottery win info to share ? lol

[Lewis.]

surely this is done by now Matt? :roll: lol

The bike looks spot on too, I'm getting bored of the 400 now, I want an R6 :(

[simonm]

What 400 ya got

[MattBrown]

surely this is done by now Matt? :roll: lol

The bike looks spot on too, I'm getting bored of the 400 now, I want an R6 :(


Is it fook lol

Keep buying more toys lol

Yeah, I'd be bored of a 400 fairly quick, nothing beats 115whp at 15k rpm lol

Is yours done yet? It's only a redtop conversion, weekends work.

This has involved a lot more lol

[Adam]

GSXR looks nice as fook.
Ive never really got the KTM "thing", just an expensive version of a bike to piss about on a field with imo lol

Whats this about a lotto win, explains whats funding all these motors and bits youve been buying then eh ;)

[Lewis.]

What 400 ya got

CBR400RR NC29 matey :)


Is it fook lol

Keep buying more toys lol

Yeah, I'd be bored of a 400 fairly quick, nothing beats 115whp at 15k rpm lol

Is yours done yet? It's only a redtop conversion, weekends work.

This has involved a lot more lol

well thats rubbish, go and finish it! i've got an excuse because i'm spasticated now lol

i've had the CBR 2 years now, and it is stil rapid, in real world road riding you can easily keep up with a litre bike on a 400/600, you just need to ride it properly lol not sure if i can even ride properly yet with this stupid wrist though, so the bike may be off for good :(

anyway, show us pictures of the nova or gtfo lol

[1.6 gsi]

Was your van broken down on the vx duel carridge way yesterday?

[MattBrown]

Who the funk said ive won the lotto?

You really think id have a 3k bike if I had....

Its called working, and spending money wisely.

[MattBrown]

And no not broken down.

I dunno, GSXR is fairly quick, cant wait to get a ducati 1098 though:D

[simonm]

Stick with the gixer at least youll get to where yup want to every time lol 1098 is a nice machine tho IMO the 750 Is the best of the lot much the same to ride as the 600 but just that bit more power

[MattBrown]

Adam you homo.

KTM's are cool as funk, they faster, ride better and are a lot more UNRELIABLE which is cool.

It came up at the right price, is fully road legal and 1 previous owner. Well looked after etc.

I love it, granted its a dear toy to put round a field, but meh, cant die with your money can you.

[Lewis.]

eurgh, please don't get a 1098. dukes are for talentless posers lol

[dannymcc]

Where did your blue Nova go too?

[MattBrown]

Where did your blue Nova go too?


Still got it pal:thumb:

[Adam]

Swear i read you had a lotto win lol

Thought you were an apprentice mechanic or something too? Apprentice, and 3k bike dont really add up.... lol

Its a very good industry imo.

Especially in a big company, as its regular 8-4:30 work, with a propper salery etc.

Contracting may pay more, but can be laid off within 15 mins:thumb:

[MattBrown]

Well as im sure some of you know ive been mega busy with work, fixing peoples cars, bikes and some mobile plantlol

Ive also torn the c20let apart for a full rebuild for the new track project.

Anyways, back to lucy, shes still here, looking alright now, however its clear that shes been a rushed job in the past, im not happy with the paint in the engine bay, and a tiny 5mm bubble has appeared on the rear arch.

However, ill cover that in the next rebuild, as for now its fine:d

Right then, I have done a bit this month, with all my bolts going off for acid dipping and bright zinc coating.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/Lucy%20L%20Reg%20Nova%20GSI%20Project/262503_10150749574105634_760175633_20415828_657167 1_n.jpg

Then I recieved a brand new Facet Red Top pump for the carbs.

[simonm]

Holy crap how will ya find homes for all them bolts

Hoses look cool to would like a set for my own but just can't bring myself to pay that much for them lol

[MattBrown]

It's kind of I'm in this deep, just buy whatever she needs!

No point skimping on some hoses to ruin the look of the whole bay:(

[simonm]

Very true matt have to agree they really set it off I'm in prity deep myself but I think I'll hold out till the car is road worthy before splashing out with it on hoses maybe throttle body's then

[Lewis.]

looking good fella, how much did it cost to have the bolts BZP'ed if you dont mind me asking? i want a load of brackets doing myself

[MattBrown]

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/Lucy%20L%20Reg%20Nova%20GSI%20Project/311260_10150764251425634_760175633_20602516_831378 9_n.jpg

Alternator painted lol

And £25 a bag, but its usually around £40.

Its worth it though, its cak building something with used bolts!

[Lewis.]

I agree mate, will be looking into this further myself :thumb:

[MattBrown]

Would say bring them down and I will do them lol

Graeme is bringing 2 novas worth of bolts, and engine bolts down and we will get them acid dipped, washed, dried, coated and cooled in around 72 hours:D

[brainsnova]

Looking good mate :thumb: bolts and brackets look like new

[MattBrown]

Looking good mate :thumb: bolts and brackets look like new

Cheers Brains.

It looks fairly good in the pics, the bay paint is a real let down tbh, and really pissing me off!

Spending coins on the new toys atm, but once the killerkombo is built, I may whip the engine out and repaint the bay.

[Lewis.]

Would say bring them down and I will do them lol

Graeme is bringing 2 novas worth of bolts, and engine bolts down and we will get them acid dipped, washed, dried, coated and cooled in around 72 hours:D

Then turbo it lol

[Lewis.]

nooooo, this is going to live forever once it's done lol where are the videos of this running then?

[Graeme]

Good work for a scanner

[Jeff16v]

Looks nice Matt, like the engine colour.

[MattBrown]

Fallen out with Lucy ATM.

Turns out the front upper pannel was welded on by someone with 1 hand an clucoma (Like lewis lol)

So, new front upper pannel pulled out of the loft (Sad I have a pannel stash lol)

Engine bay and front pannel will all be sorted and welded/painted at my dads friends bodyshop. He has one of colin mcraes old rally cars in there, so knows his stuff. Propper old school lead fill sorta guy.

Anyways, bought a 3rd set of speedlines for the van, the plan is to have the van, the trailer and the nova all on speedlines lol

Bought the speedlines a bailey breather tank and some headlight protectors off scorge:)

Also aiming to buy the header tank, mocal oil cooler and harnesses off Rich:)

Topmounts appeard for my coilovers too, and some polybushes.

[Edd]

Panel stashes FTW

[Nick J]

If your removing the front panel...... Id trial fit everything on the front end once a tack weld or two is holding the new panel in place. A lot of mk2's dont line up properly due to either non genuine panel replacements or not enough time spent aligning/trial fitting. Spoils the finished article and will drive you mad in the long run If it isnt spot on.

Nick.

[GRANT !!!]

i'd say the same as nick pal! i took hour's lining my old nova's front panel and had load's of measurement's off differant point's of the car to help, then on with the wing's bonnet grill then off move alittle bit back on ,

do you not fancy fitting it yourself it not a big job?

Cheers Nick, to me thats what I'd do aswell.

Appears the term "tradesman" means someone who just guesses lol

It's going into an old boy my dad knows, he's rebuilding one of mcraes old rally cars ATM, and does some seriously nice work. Did the bootlid on our jag, and it's amazing.

Going to have the engine bay repainted to a "show" standard, and then if funds allow a pair of quater panels and sills.

Then a full blow over in Audi abis White, or glacier:)

I'm sure she won't be as clean as yours nick, but won't be far off:)

I do fancy having a go, I did the rear panel in my old nova, but for this I'd rather let the old boy do it.

He's a professional, and whilst I can do pretty much anything, arty stuff isn't my thing.

Takes a lifetime to learn a trade, and it's best IMO to let someone pro do paint and body work!

[LEWI007]

I like your nuts and bolts :tard:

[MattBrown]

Bailey header tank, 2 breather tanks, 3rd set of speedlines and some 308mm brakes.

Next purchases are ali rad, new set of hoses and some more shiny bits:)

[GRANT !!!]

do you want to sell one of the breather tanks?

[Lewis.]

Turns out the front upper pannel was welded on by someone with 1 hand an clucoma (Like lewis lol)

Love you too Matt lol lol lol

At least you get the bay how you want it now though :) But why are there no pictures? I bet you're just making it all up lol anyway, good 'progress' :p

[MattBrown]

Love you too Matt lol lol lol

I am lol

But yeah, ill get some pics, will pull the engine out saturday night.

Then I fancy smoothing the bay over like benn has, but its a hell of a lot of work;)

[Will F]

I am lol

But yeah, ill get some pics, will pull the engine out saturday night.

Then I fancy smoothing the bay over like benn has, but its a hell of a lot of work;)

Plus you will be re-smoothing and painting it every few months when the paint/filler cracked!

[MattBrown]

Right then guys and girls.

Purchases where collected on the weekend, and bought some 280mm Willwood 4 pots, an F16CR and a custom solutions washer tank and brake servo cap.:d

Heres the "modified" rear hose, 28 or 30mm brass pipe end caplol

Then I move on to the "Shiny ****"

Painted the alternator, and put it on to test clearances etc

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/Lucy%20L%20Reg%20Nova%20GSI%20Project/311260_10150764251425634_760175633_20602516_831378 9_n.jpg

Then Went to Redditch to pick up these 2, now Ive bought a brand new breather tank, so "GRANTNOVA!!!" is having the breather one off me:)

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/Lucy%20L%20Reg%20Nova%20GSI%20Project/320407_10150807855005634_760175633_21011594_717668 098_n.jpg

Then heres a quick few pics of them fitted.

[moffat]

damn you as soon as the guy said there were sold on CS i know youd got them lol

[MattBrown]

Yeah pal, It was too good to miss imo.

Needed to go see mark in stafford, and only 40 miles further to get the tanks!

Just need the custom solutions stuff to come now:)

And a tx autosports rad, then its game on for strip down, and UBER shiny clean up:)

[moffat]

thats true was a good price. i only wanted the header tank as wont have room on the drivers side for anything lol

[MattBrown]

Im gonna have to sort something out like Matthew172s setup for mine when the c20let goes in, over the next few years:)

[Lewis.]

I am lol

But yeah, ill get some pics, will pull the engine out saturday night.

Then I fancy smoothing the bay over like benn has, but its a hell of a lot of work;)

look's photoshopped to me :p

don't bother with smoothing, roughly brushed seam sealer and angle grinder scars is where it's at... lol
...cos thats all you'll be left with anyway when the filler falls out, the moment you jack up one corner lol

looking good though :thumb:

[GRANT !!!]

looking good there pal! what you done with the alternator bracket? made your own or bought one???i'm around the weekend if you want me to pop up for the bit's, give me a msg on facebook!:thumb:

[ryansnova]

did you get the wing bolts from ebay ??:)

[MattBrown]

Cheers Lewis lol not going for the smoothed look, I CBA, gonna strip it all out, and have it pro painted, then any part that goes back in will be new. Also gonna hide the looms:)

Yeah grant, im out on the KTM sunday, but sure I can sort something:)

Yes ryan, off ebay for pennies tbh:)

[MattBrown]

Well, bit of an update minus pics!*

I've been busy sorting out a new daily Astra van, got it as a non runner and sorted the pump out and she's away again. However, the nova has received a small amount of love from me.

I've bought, and need to collect on the 25th and 26th of the month a ruck of parts.

Got, brand new passenger door, brand new bootlid and brand new passenger side sill, also bought 2 full genuine gm 1/4 pannels, another set of speedlines, headlight protectors and a brand new bailey breather tank!

Purchased megajolt light ignition system, and got to get that paid for and wired in thanks to Phillip on here!

Also got the rest of the parts for the carbs, just need a linkage now, and then I'm away.

Just finished my rose jointed gear linkage, been building it on my brakes and dinner times in work, I'm really pleased with it, and I've used the link arm from a mk3 Astra so avoid turning the plastic lug round, which IMO gives a nicer stick feel!

I've had the carpets up in the corners of the nova, and can report no rot at all, one scab of surface rust which has been wire wheeled, krust treated and then anti rust primered.

The friend of my dads who has the rallycar bodyshop is coming out this week to have a look see at the front end being sorted out so I can have absolutely perfect pannel gaps!

Aside from this, not that much to report really, apart from this small project has completely spiralled out of control into something that can only be described as building my perfect nova! This will be my first and last nova I build, so I'm doing it properly, as the ones I've had before have just been run about abuse toys lol.

Anyone got a drivers sill and door for me? Lol

[chambers1984]

hi mate was it the edu on the van?

[scorge01]

updates after your trip mate :)

[MattBrown]

Need to get the update done tommorow.

Cheers once again for the parts:)

[scorge01]

No probs mate can't wait for the progress :)

[Vlietje]

Matt, why isn't that door on yet mate? LOL

[MattBrown]

Matt, why isn't that door on yet mate? LOL

Im not as crazy as you dutch boys!

Fair play, 4000kms in a week must be pretty boring lol

Thanks once again for the parts, I managed to get 1 pair of the skirts off scorge, so even happier:)

[Vlietje]

My hands start shaking, as I didn't have a go in the car today... lol

Should have told me mate. I bought some extra skirt sets, just to be sure....

[MattBrown]

My hands start shaking, as I didn't have a go in the car today... lol

Should have told me mate. I bought some extra skirt sets, just to be sure....

You should have told me lol

Find me the rear pieces! Ill even drive to your house for them lol

[Vlietje]

Rear pieces are NLS mate. I need the N/S rear piece.

[MattBrown]

Rear pieces are NLS mate. I need the N/S rear piece.


When you find some ill have a pair, and scorge will too.

Can come meet you again next year, going to gatebill ford show, opeltreffen and taking the GSXR to the ring of doom lol

[Lewis.]

This still not done? pfft.

[MattBrown]

**** off you lol lol lol

It will be done when them pics you had go in the 18+ lol

[MattBrown]

Well, Matt here has been rather busylol

KTM is all done pretty much, engine rebuilt, back together, just got to wait for xmas for my new chain and sprockets off the mrs:d

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/3633a952.jpg

Moving onto the nova.

Mixed week to be honest, had a fella come round who is A**** on bodywork, and he pretty much crucified the nova.

Turns out the owner 2 owners ago crashed the car, yet kept it very quiet, so it was sold onto the owner before the fella I bought it off, the fella I bought it off built it all up, then randomly stripped it down, and I bought it.

Ive now been told the reason it was stripped was because he found out it was slightly twisted, and basically stitched me into it:roll:

However, not being one to give up easily, its going on the jig in this fellas unit, and will be pulled square, and all the pannels hung and gapped perfectly so im told:thumb:

So It started, big job on so to speak.

Dropped the engine on my own, so left it under the car so to avoid accidents like the shell fallin off stands etc.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/b72ed53b.jpg

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/33920b8e.jpg

Wire wheeled the left hand turret and rust treated.

Was covered in some filler, wants all redoing due to quality being a tad poorlol

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/aa099fcc.jpg

[Lewis.]

oh my god, you've actually touched it! ****, this means you've done more than me this month :( I need to get on lol
don't have any pics no more, she deleted them cos she didn't like them lol I may go all creepy and take some when she's sleeping lol

p.s. added some new tags for you xx

[MattBrown]

So to cheer myself up I went on a mad one, bought some door pins and an oil pressure guage.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/0662ba22.jpg

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/46a2c5f1.jpg

[MattBrown]

My mate has put his 3 door cossie to bed for winter, so this has been put back together and come out to play for some winter fun

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/0ab66683.jpg

Awesome car, stage 3, greens and 330bhp.

Back to the nova, been hunting for new parts, as this project is going down the route of a really clean immaculate nova etc.

Did a 1033 mile parts haul, with 5 stops for bits and came away with.

Brand new GM full 1/4 pannels
Brand new GM bootlid
Brand new GM passenger door
Brand new GM sills
Brand new GSI skirts long parts
Brand new bailey breather tank
Set of speelines

Was an epic mission tbh lol

[MattBrown]

Ive got 3 GTE grilles and badges, so can do lol

[Lewis.]

[scorge01]

bloody hell some nice finds there cant wait for it all to soart being fitted :) defo be keeping intouch for parts deals and progress updates was good meeting ya:)
dito with the skirts.lol

[Balley]

Is this not built yet?

[Lewis.]

/\ it seems not, as he's almost as useless as me lol

oh, and Matt: what the f*cking hell is going on with the alternator recess? it looks like it was done by Stevie Wonder! Do you want a labrador to help you do it again? lol lol

[MattBrown]

The car has been owned by ****tards since it was new lol.

I'll save you Lucy, dont worry xx

[L33 LEG]

Just been reading the latest updates. The owner 2 owners ago would of been Eastham and im pretty sure he never crashed it, if it had been banged then it would of been from the guy who had it before him years ago. I've wanted this shell since the first time i saw it around 5 years ago and im very surprised you're finding faults with it, think you must be a picky bugger lol

Either way though, im glad that you are clearly spending a bucket load of cash on this car, should be a minter once completed. Those new parts are pretty epic! Will look forward to it being finished, i knew i should of bought the shell when i had the chance :(

[MattBrown]

Yeah Lee, im unsure, it makes sense as the why both the previous owners mysteriously built it up, then stripped it down quite quickly.

Im not that fussed, its a 17 year old boy racers dream, its going to have had a hard life and some abuse.

Fortunately Ive got the funds to sort it out, all be it slowly as I keep spending on other toys lol

Small update is the daily van now sports the GSI kit, Prodrive skirts, 16" td wheels, 110mm drop, irmsher spoiler, estate rear bumper, boot trims and some Opel, opc badges and seat covers and a fancy Grille. Next mods are HIDs and DEPO headlights.

Ill get some pics of it on the weekend as I go to work in the dark, and come home in the dark lol

[MattBrown]

Tiny update.

Been working on Booster Van mk2, as mk1 went away shall we say lol

And bought a GSI16V badge, unsure if Im going to use it though, will try it and see.

Not even gone yet fella, after xmas:thumb:

[bettley]

Looks good matt :) i shall have to start a thread about violet

[MattBrown]

Violet the car you should have never got? Lol.

Ahh well, live and learn.

An MOT means nothing these days as is proven here! Lol

[Lewis.]

Dear Matt

You have posted no recent pictures/progress of the Nova. You're rubbish.

Love Lewis xxx

[MattBrown]

Dear Matt

You have posted no recent pictures/progress of the Nova. You're rubbish.

Love Lewis xxx

Thankyou for attracting the bots pal.

No recent pics as its a nail, and I have new toys xxx

[Lewis.]

I was unaware that I had the powers to summon these bot's lol I must be a wizard

well we know it's a nail, but we all have the same illness so there's not much we can do about it lol

what other toys? stop gimping about, you actually make my thread look active lol

xxx

[Graeme]

It amazes me how you get time to mess with all these toys inbetween cruising for c0ck and cottaging

Lets see something interesting

[MattBrown]

Hahahaha.

Absolutely nothing to report.

Sold a grille to liam, sending that tommorow, that's all I've done nova wise.

Get this new toy bought, then getting nova jigged soon, and then sills, 1/4s and pannels on, then painting:)

[Lewis.]

what's the new toy then?

[Graeme]

http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTGBUFxexocNc2T-Z1N5aY36g2r6I-tLeK7wkyHEt5pjXrq9GFM

Is this the new toy?

[Riggy]

fpmsl @ graeme , but i do like all the new parts matt :thumb:

[Lewis.]

lol lol lol lol lol lol Is matt down sizing then?

[MattBrown]

Bit of a well overdue update for you guys, Been busy over the last 6 months, ranging from riding the KTM, to buying a race quad, saving a genuine silk gsi from death, and a few conversions and silly things to boot.

Right then, way back at xmas time, had a week off between xmas and new year, so thought “lets redtop our toms corsa” well, I left him to his own devices for much of the build, infact all I did was source and build the shafts and do all the required wiring.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/60e738a6.jpg

That was his choice of rocker cover etc, much to my disappointment, I thought he would have made it look tidy.

Next task thrown at us was a friend who has owned novas before, swapped his bora diesel for a Genuine Silky GSI, now ive seen some sites on the road, but this one just about takes the pishh for being dodgey. 11 months MOT, taxed etc and “mint” its his own fault for not looking at the car, as anyone with eyes would have ran far, far away! But its all good, all welded up and saved from death, in about 10 hours worth of welding and panel fab.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/d173b9e8.jpg

Clearly obvious rust is well set in here.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/7eea7692.jpg

The bulkhead had split with the power of the R1 Carbed XE (Which was timed up wrong, and the dizzy far too advanced) but it was all sorted in the end.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/13e2f5e0.jpg

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/1f267735.jpg



Few days later and this came into my local yard, GSI bumpers, skirts, spoiler and a few smalls where relieved by myself. It was really, really clean, and for some reason the MOT tester said it needed welding around the turrets (blatently didn’t) and funnily, the MOT fella wanted to buy the car so the story goes…

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/e47c4743.jpg

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/54f02646.jpg

Seeing as a group of us have bought quads to hoon around on, I wanted in on the action, heres a pic proving that a Yamaha Blaster does go in an astra van! (My mates, I have a banshee)

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/f3596bf8.jpg

[MattBrown]

Some boxing day foolery:)

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/7f6cc0ca.jpg

So wet it was unreal, good days ragging though:)

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/a47b3d74.jpg


Think she needs a clean!

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/c4fb8c6b.jpg

That’s Better:)

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/3633a952.jpg


I wanted in on the quad action, so I found a Yamaha Banshee Race Quad forsale in north wales, tatty, and not selecting the gears properly, not an issue for me, so a deal was done, the numbers etc checked with the police, all came up clean so home she came:)

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/f27e4c3f.jpg

Put it on the rolling road and she pulled 60bhp, its fair to say “wild” is an understatement, this thing is seriously fast.

Next to add to the toyshop is a CRF450R, on a 2007, for £1600 It had to come home to play.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/d2447f7f.jpg

I have also moved into a unit, and found a genuine large light up Lancia Sign from a 1980s dealers forsale on ebay, so had to have it, looks ace hung on the wall.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/07c40049.jpg

Then I was bored, so after a quick chat to Dom Hodge (Mk1 red SR, and various other Vauxhalls) He asked if I could fit a c20let to his nova, which was done in a matter of weeks, the engine bay was painted orange, and the shell was collected behind the trusty tow bus.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/5a3d5295.jpg

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/4d196b31.jpg

Then the build went ahead, everything painted and done really tidy IMO.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/6240f407.jpg

I needed something to keep me happy, so I went and bought a z20let, all the wiring etc required and was going to convert the van, then had a realisation about fuel etc, and kept it diesel. So the z20let went to a new home (Corsa C)

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/92480d5e.jpg

Next I got offered a vitara cheap, so thought why not, theres an ex mod base near me, with some fairly silly hills etc, and I took it out a few times, although mr plod wasn’t too impressed about the towing situation (Its legal, by about 15kgs)

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/9c024f0b.jpg

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/b4baed2e.jpg

I got hold of a senator/carlton GSI dash for my nova, but decided that I preferred the standard GSI dials so It got sold on.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/99325662.jpg

Next thing the banshee is misbehaving, not running right and being a pig.

Then the engine locks up solid.

Ohh dear,

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/3cb8ff56.jpg

370cc rebore, new forged pistons, and the gearbox sorted, now running 70ish bhp.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/a1583b35.jpg

Doesn’t look bad at all, infact the clutch basket had shattered into 7 pieces, and jammed all inside the side casing.

[MattBrown]

Next weekend out, and bang, my mates blaster locks up solid.

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/456eb545.jpg

Stripped, new ported and polished barrel, high comp piston, LRD race pipe, big carb, reeds and 1mm taken off the head. This thing flys now!

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/961631ce.jpg

http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx16/MattBrown9600/75746555.jpg

Then I went an bought a Chevette for some RWD madness, however I soon got bored, and sold this on to OswestryAutoworks on here (Phill).

The shell has never been welded, and doesn’t need it, needs the arches tidying up and a blow over.

Next was something to keep me entertained whilst I can’t get at the nova, another van, for track use and for santapod etc.

EPIC fail collecting it, loaded it up etc, and my van wouldn’t start, 200 miles from home, with no AA, and a £450 bill to get me home (Not impressed)

Anyway, this new van has been built over the last 2 weeks, ready for pvs, a “Good” “no smoke or rattles” engine was purchased, this then smoked its cock off, so no pvs.

5 stud went on, 320mm vec GSI brakes, SRI turbo wheels painted and on, brand new GSI bumper, GSI rear bumper, Smoothed boot, GSI skirts, Side Strips, basically everything I like on the vans.

And that’s pretty much the last 6 months, I couldn’t bring the van to PVS as it was smoking like mad on idle, suspected stem seals, so the guys at autovaux sorted me out with some genuine ones for £8. Happy days.

No progress at all on the nova, but within a month it will be down to my unit, and then some serious work taking place.

Hope this wasn’t too boring!

Matt.
