Getting NDZ Taxed tomorrow, and next weekend i'm driving up country to get some K&N's for the carbs. Then all i need is blue HT leads, strut brace and some new Vauxhall interior mats.

I'll put 500-1000 miles on it over the next few weeks, and get it RR setup by Steven Gault, who built the engine.

Well since I last spoke you Kyle, I have had J7OVA Resprayed. Ive also Taken the top off the airbox & can really hear the carbs!!!
& I have acquired my first car...AGAIN! an F-reg Nova, Still with all the kit I left on it. & GTE interior. But because shes got very rusty in the past year & a half the doors, & rear wings are being eaten from the inside, Still looks ok from the outside. Im thinking....2L! or maybe just chop her up into a trailer Nova.

06-03-05, 09:38 PM
Apart from trying to find a replacement job for 2 weeks time (when my contract ends), I am saving up to..

- Get new tailgate/doors for the GTE (possible new tailgate already got)
- Get some new carpet for the nova (fire mishap lol)
- Make some interior panels that I planned to do last year lol
- Take the false floor out of the 1.2 and put it in the GTE
- Buy and fit some e/w and c/l mechanisms
- Possible GSi dash (mmm black)
- Finish repairing the GTE
- Put all the parts/panels etc back in (and buy mint GTE interior)
- Get the GTE MOT'd/Tax'd/insured etc
- Respray after some minor mods to the bodywork :wink:

That's about all I can think of atm, if I think of any more, I'll let you know lol

mel you forgot speak nicely to me to get it sprayed :wink:

Mel
06-03-05, 09:48 PM
Ah ha, well.. that's a possible atm..

As my *cough* lovely *cough* brother is back working in the bodyshop, he could get hold of the paint for me, and his mate could spray it for me..depends how the work situation goes.

But I always talk nicely with you :lol:

I spoke nicely with you about the GTE interior/grill/leccy windows and I got it shoved back at me LOL hmm.. :wink:

Ohh yeah something else I forgot to say before..I have been busy today and yesterday doing grinding and welding :D

06-03-05, 10:17 PM
i want to fit my rear discs and GTE brake servo. ive got a GSI spoiler grill and new bonnet in the body shop at the mo. all being repainted and a functional vent custom made into the bonnet above the filter.

id like to get an engine management system for the xe so i can get more from the cams etc when i get them, and also would be good for when i get the tbs i want too.

other than that. just more bling under the bonnet me thinks

Mines almost ready for this years fun! Im just waiting for the polycarbinate windows to arrive (tommrow with any luck) and then I can go and get the suspension set up and tested.

I may do some extra work to the rear arches so that I will get no scrubbing issues and the new fibreglass tailgate and bonnet really need re-spraying again.

However I am working on a Mk1 Escort at the mo which needs to be built and finished for the 4th April. This aint going to be easy!

07-03-05, 12:43 PM
