Project gsi-v

[Joebte]

Just sorned the nova so nows the time to start the rebuild.

Photos attached of how it is now and of the parts I've collected in the last few weeks.

Plans are as the title suggests create a gsi van.

Wish me luck:)

Should look good when done, are you keeping it white?

[Joebte]

Thought about changing the colour to black but decided to keep it white but maybe a brighter white;)

Had 2 white gsi's when I was younger and also a grey gsi, but def preferred the white.

[Joebte]

Thanks vlietje think I'm going to need it

[bazzap8389]

Yeah keep it white :) good luck with your build mate!

[Joebte]

Wow, its good to see this again, looking a little worse for wear though but hope you restore it as it was a good solid one!

Does it still have a the 'RH Autos & Recovery' reg plates on it, looks like it does from the pics:thumb:

[Joebte]

Still has the plates

Only thing I've done are the SR seats and changed the exhaust to a scorpion

[Vlietje]

Can't beat white!

Cheers spudly

Is it much different from when you had it chancer?

[The_General_Chancer]

Hi,

It started off as an accident damaged 1.4 carb Completly bog standard thing when I got it.
Bought off Copart at kingslynn needing only offside front wing,headlight and vic test.
Went straight through the mot as well ha ha.

Bought a totally shagged van from London and converted it to the van.

I remember puttin electric windows, central locking, alarm, and loads of sr bits on it and it had 15" tigra alloys iirc.

Think I also put gsi brakes(grooved?), gsi brake servo, gsi anti roll bars.

I'm sure it had a digi dash as well.

Stuck some bag if ****e cam in it weber carb n exhaust it reved brill till it blue up ha.

Prob got some pics of it at home ill send em 2 spud for ya

Good luck with it mate was a solid old girl

Ah the old van,this used to rev its balls off lol

[The_General_Chancer]

Ha ha yer some enem camshaft Gav winter use to use in autograss!!
You could rev it that hard the valves bounced and the digi dash flashed and went off.
Iirc the cam lobes wore off and the followers jumped out and it **** itself lol.
The replacement was out of an old Belmont van ha

In all fairness that was better then the sport/replica/2.0 16v waste of money and time nova I built!! It was seriously fun compared to the that. I then bought a Subaru STI and wondered why I had wasted my life building it lol.
