Did i miss much? Just got the net setup last week because BT, Force9 and the previous tenants are/where useless, but its sorted now.
The nova is sat a home in the garage next to the old mans 'project' (came off the road 30+ years ago - hope history doesnt repeat lol):

went home at the weekend and started her, took a while to drag the fuel through, then it was fine, just a tap where the oils drained out the lifters, miss it and the sound off it :(
Funny thing is i've had more calls on it since i've been away and decided (finally) to be build it then i did when it was posted up :confused: another funny thing is i'm at uni and have more money than ever! Not having a car to mantain (read modify) and run, plus i work more hours plus student loan and a few 'going away' cheques, should of done it years ago lol
Should be helpful as ideas are already spirlling, still using the 1.6 T40, maybe turret the rear (needs the boot floor patching and a rear panel any way) sort the rippley arch, proper suspension - rose joint, coilovers, etc, and basiclly make it like new - powercoated rear beam etc and keep thinking 'if its having a respray, should i change the colour?' so many red nova's with black bumpers now lol
Last thing: we went to the tate modern the other day, to find this:
