Well the Nova is nearly finished, but theres so many little things wrong with it, I'm at the stage whether I dont know whether to take the engine out, sort it all out properly or just finisih it now and be done with it.
Basically I borrowed an engine crane off of one of my mates, and I was still waiting for parts of my engine to come through when he wanted it back, so what i had to do is bolt the bottom end in, then bolt the other bits on after.
Now theres loads of small things, like vacuum hose missing (inlet manifold looks like its too big to get one on it). Cant get 2 bolts for the exhaust manifold in properly, look as though theyre cross threaded. Done the V6 Brakes, and don't know how to do the bar thing behind the pedal. None of my gauges are going to work.
I have sprayed the bay matt black by myself with cans, and basically I'm thinking should I take the engine out, get it sprayed pro, take a bit more time to sort the engine out, get it all done before I put it in. Or should I just carry on, and leave it half bodged.
