What a shame the World has become so cynical, someone displays a bit of creativity and yet still people moan.
Dont care what anyone else thought about it I thought it was brilliant! :)

dont know what you expected, the guy is mega critical of everything anyone ever does, but yet you never see anything of any substance from him build/project wise.

true! :)
And congrats on getting to the green bloobs dude! lol
it was a humble triumph spitfire engine..
if he'd done a redtop, half a dozen people from mig would have signed up to tell him he was doing it wrong but not tell him how to do it right... lol lol
Lol
That was a fantastic video :thumb:

Spend a few hours in a locked sealed small cupboard emptying 1/2 full cans of brake cleaner spray, Then play the music and tell us what you see.....

This however is brilliant.
Unbelievably someone is criticising the engine,sad.

could a coffin dodger tell me is that a 1300 or 1500 engine?
i think its most likely a 1300, as the spit looks quite old & there is a decided lack of emissions shyte on the carbs..

That is excellent! Great find!!
Great video, impressive and fun.
Worth watching and what's wrong with a spitfire anyway?
what's wrong with a spitfire anyway?
oh, where to start.....
woeful rustproofing
strange design with separate chassis to save development costs
built by communists
it was basically an italian sportscar built in a different country

but they look the shizzness and thats all that matters :p
Bad build quality, wasn't it a Triumph built by BMC/BL.
BL = Bad rustproofing
Sub frame/chassis design to save money and because the bodies were too weak
Don't know much about communism.
Are you implying that Italian cars don't always have top build quality................? (slight sarcasm)
But the spitfire had potential and the ones I see at classic car shows are nice looking (and rebuilt)
HAHAHA a nova forum having the audacity to call other marques' build quality and rustproofing! You couldnt make it up! lol

Too True!
in the village where i was born/brought up, there was a bloke who was the service manager at the local triumph dealership. he had an ex army nissen hut in his garden & he modified & restored triumph cars on the side.... he would restore cars that were 3 years old!!!!!!! but the modifications he could do to them made them fly.. his speciality was the 2000 series saloons & they were massively underrated... imagine someone producing a 5 seat, 4 door saloon with 200+hp that handled!!! in the 1970's!!! he was a bit of a legend, and then sadly died of a heart attack
another sidenote... when i drove a tipper wagon in the 90's, i helped deliver the stone that filled up the hole left after they knocked down canley. it took more than a year because of all the contamination...
My uncle had a Triumph 2000 when I was a kid, I remembered it as being fast and smooth with a huge seat. Quite a refined car for the time from the BL stable.
I have heard many stories about 1970 minis being dribven home new from the dealers with the font panel/wing join under the headlight already starting to weep. Many minis also needed restoring after a few years although, the last of the mk2 Novas were particularily poor, all I need to say is rear arches.........................
Mk2 novas are terrible,so are astra mk3's.
Mk2 novas are terrible.
WHAT?? No there not........
They are worse than that lol

How people even got paid for scrapping them is beyond me,theres not an ounce of recyclable metal on them lol
Take a nova, add some aluminium powder and some magnesium strip and voila you have thermite lol
Bazil....you selling that tailgate? It would be a great improvement than the one on my red mk2.
Though I have never seen a chassis leg like that.....scarey!
Thats nowt,when the tow eye itself is crispy then its 10points awarded lol

lol the worst rotted car I've ever seen in the flesh was a Mk2 Astra GTE with most of its passenger side front floorpan missing lol
Although saying that there is a 4 door Chevette parked up in a garden near me that you can just see over a wall...the bottom half of the drivers door is gone. I bet theres not much to see underneath lol
dont know what you expected, the guy is mega critical of everything anyone ever does, but yet you never see anything of any substance from him build/project wise.
lol + rep
Very very true, always critical of anything anyone does but absolutely no evidence of his own work, quite sad really

Posted this on facetube the other day myself, pure awesomeness and brilliant that the guy has taken the time to do it, i didnt post it on here because i knew there would be some nerds who can talk a good build that would pick fault and say its crap, oh how right i was lol
That's fantastic
How strange, broadghost seems not to have replied again? lol lol

Well i'm not always about am I.
What's to say? I just thought it was gonna be of an amazing engine itself is all, like some mega revving racer, not an old A-series. Nothing wrong with the stopmotion animation.
I wasn't aware of being "mega critical of everything anyone does". Seems a little unfair.
There has been some more recent evidence of bit's I've done on here; not my fault you've not either not seen them in amongst the posts or have forgotten about them because they don't interest you.
come on people. Slanging matches rarely help. I should know..
All i have to do is mention engines with 16 valves, that were knocked up from old cavalier bottom ends, with a funny L shaped spark plug cover and the water holding abilities of a colander, & the insults soon appear...

loved that, showed it to a mate at work who's doing something similar with an XT 500 full resto, and even he was impressed (which rarely happens)
