[LEWI007]

So some of you might know this car from back in the day, it used to belong to David dixon of Griffin Autosport who originally built it in the late 90s, it was a C20XE on weber carbs, then later a modified C20LET 6 speed.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/50b488972f445586c32c380a6463f4b5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/0d4d52137a775cf7e7b1d47889139ac9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/9673f3661f11e85fe077c836d957c175.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/e1d243788b102a88a8452c40dd035a67.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/80c0a16a5e14a15edb80a218d9ac50e5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/ccec4c103db02cd61ef01c25ec377a07.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/8bfa40c89ddb9bd4118a74657438dadc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/322c1859cc9d2522d6ca12666556f32c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/6943f60223471869817556e874b214a0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/418dfeb053a6970a6dbd753db94373f9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/7eba8ba9febe2071d930b39e74402157.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/582850316f18f7612a3cdf75545a1005.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/1d7e1de9ee3a7da20d23da41cd273596.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/98967f50eae2a1ab5f3a6a15a8a4962f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/1f975f7e96fa6bd752770484bd39c9b5.jpg

The car was stripped over 10 years ago and has just sat there ever since, so my plan is to restore it to its former glory.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/f484821a4e46848e1f3221de8b85ddd7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/f38d5e9052a623c454277fff65bd832d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/04046b5432e0de4de54ea2b2ab01dc78.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/8e60d231c24676d86e120b861ede3ff5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/19c232a9bc1c2016e1a4e09c68e20626.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/6113ca11a2fe80f3a5c92710fd101915.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/40d68d4617d9314707a15160f2851316.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/8a4906c768187c49537f9993b5f6cd08.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180215/054d15c9f1ccfe944ca22206404429a2.jpg

Top project there, be great to see it back to its best and should be fun finding the parts to make it exactly like it used to be.

How's the purple nova doing by the way?

I remember this at Sunderland on a Saturday night when it was Lindon's car and it was that corsa b gold colour and still a valver. Love carmine red, it's the best colour for a GTE.

Went on a roadtrip in the Escort and bought some carbon kevlar doors and wings and a fibreglass tailgate for the nova from lee hearseys old race car, and some bucket seats, going to try and make it as light as possible, ended up popping into VBOA at billing while i was down there, also got a lightweight racing battery, fitted a new alloy radiator, hoping to make some big progress on this car very soon.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191024/4adb0f7ae384e6b9e780c60b31f03bd2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191024/6c21b5ccdf7b9e22183e6563c8ba4455.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191024/ec681d8de745b558e2db0b1393a2d681.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191024/6fe8e3e25b8fbc344f7656e657078121.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191024/0e62245f2dbf93ac77e0a77d937f5c31.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191024/fce4f117a1ccf7894807847dc2eb1cf7.jpg

Another couple of small jobs, the C20LET fuel pump relay I've slotted Into the nova fuse box area that has the relays, so it's a tidy factory fit, and I've trimmed a section of the under dash shelves for the ECU to sit on, I think I'll paint the ECU cover at some point to make it look cleaner.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210131/adf9387ba484f3d08ad43f9fabbd049f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210131/6eb1ef2d19c872e1eb499593cdae3f21.jpg

Good mod. It's hassle but feels loads better. Not something I'd personally consider weakening with holes although I guess this ones way stronger than standard to begin withYeah I know what you mean, this one was atleast double the thickness of the standard part, so should be ok, it's held up fine so far.

I searched around a bit to find new screws and fittings for interior pieces, to keep it as factory correct as I can.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210210/6497f9197297423f3510040f9cab7474.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210210/fb6b5b7576ef82a4eb12f565114787b2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210210/e4d92fc8a8d1dffe12b14379c48bf534.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210210/9bc83cd3770a0f2838520d001b62bdfb.jpg

GTE rear parcel shelf and supports, that were in need of some restoration, I stripped the supports down and re painted the metal parts, then sourced some higher quality fabric that is the same colour as the originals, and retrimmed them and the parcel shelf, I think I will retrim the whole boot carpet too, to make it super clean.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210210/7461cd0e4fa79c88850389afd563a406.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210210/a10f2e0f220310617cdf37a41716bfb2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210210/3e0c0be13cde2216e244641f5308be61.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210210/ff84653cdb0b616d7beccf9bbdab6f81.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210210/e6de1575bced29a93b15bfa8fd85f53a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20210210/d4f231608d115b5d0602f1071cde2b1e.jpg

Took the nova out for a test run over the weekend, I think it grips much better with the new wheels and tyres, here's a little video.

Looking great pal nice work. Got a xe rocker cover with the metal plug cover in vht matt black if interested no use to me now.

[Will F]

That charge cooler isn't going to be hugely efficient with such a small pre-rad. did it and get a bigger one... Ive seen Fiat Cinqecento rads used.

[boffer8]

Yea that charge cooler rad would be better a lot thinner and a lot bigger to get more air across a thinner larger area, nice work fitting the chargecooler in there though, looks a tight fit!
