Note the Nova is still very much Work in Progress

Shell stripped for strengthening and some minor rust spots, Currently working on the new rear axle and brakes (No pics as yet sorry)

wow.. the cav is sexual.. seen on mig before; big fan.
The project - well, ambitious but has been done - must be awesome to have a silky torquey lump like that pulling a 'plastic bag'.
Welcome.

cav looks awesome, good luck with the nova build.

are the v6 novas fasst? i sore 2 at santa pod and they where really slow, well compared to the let that it was racing?

[cavturbomike]

Im not sure, i am going to try and make the shell as solid as possible to help the handling a bit but im not concerned on it being a "fast" car, more for the engine sound, looks under bonnet and its a bit different, i cant really see a 3ltr in a Nova being that slow either tho?

As long as it runs well and looks clean il be happy:)

I love that cavalier! Good luck with the nova build to :thumb:

They'll likely be slower than LET's at the pod+track, but easier to drive on the road.

Thanks for all the comments guys, finding some very sound ppl on here, liking it a lot already!

Its not exactly going to be slow mate! It'll be an interesting engineering challege to get in, plus its a bit old school! I like the idea of big cc's rather than forced induction!

Cav is rely nice, cant wait to see how v6 nova goes!

Until you get to a corner lol

Make sure you spend plenty on a decent suspension setup with the correct spring poundages for a V

[cavturbomike]

That is being taken into serious consideration!! What are the best kits out there just now, and what kind of money are these kits?

Thanks

[Adam]

Very nice Mike, The cav looks sweeeeeet.

[Lee]

Id go for a Bilstein kit and at least 350 pound front springs, but Courtenay will probably have the perfect solution.

[Mike.]

the cavvy looks really nice mate,good luck with the nova, that sounds interesting lol

[TommySR]

Cav is well smart and the Nova should sound awesome with the V6 in mate, looking forward to seeing more progress pics
