Cle's newest project

[Cle]

Hello all, Been a while since ive been on here but unfortunetly i never lost the nova bug :roll:.

was scrolling through facebook one night and randomly found a wee nova close to me in need of rebuilding so stupidly i bought it lol

Its a J reg Sri that had an XE then previous owner stripped it to do some welding.

dont really have any plans for it at the moment but basiclly ill be putting an xe back in with some webbers

This is how it looked before

Should be a good we project. The nova bug has bitten again lol

[Southie]

Welcome back cle, what's your plans for it? Are you going for a show look, road use or tracking it???

[Bubba]

i dont think the bug ever goes

[Cle]

Plans are to be able to use it every day if i need it and maybe do some track days.

on another note who ever done the conversion on this should be shot lol

Started on it this afternoon pics will be up at some point soon

A lad i know had this for two or three years. Nice looking little bus!

[Cle]

Will be alot better when im done, new front panels on couple of the strengthining plates are on and put the wings etc back to just so it looks good.

is there a thread with more detailed pictures for fitting the strengthining plates ?

Cheers :-) yeah i was being sensible for a while, now lost a plot and got another nova:confused:lol

[Cle]

Right few pics, got the nova into the workshop and started welding, the bits on the chassis legs where the front panel slots in had been bodged before so replaced both them, then put on some of the strengthining plates.
