why are all the water hoses extremely long? like the one from bottom of the radiator, it should only be short but in the pics it goes all the way along the bottom of the rad? and the hose that goes into the bottom of the expansion tank aswel??? anybody else notice this??

[Mike]

the rad is backwards, the thermostat plug thing is on the other side. And who ever welded that, well tried, needs to go back to college and learn how to MiG properly....

inn its defence it has potential, although going from a 1.4 to a 1ltr is a bit wierd :confused: :tard:

[Mike]

and thats an SR engine?

[KPautomotive]

Potential?

TBH its not going to be done in any decent sort of standard.... just look at the window tint!

lol

I'm also quite sure he doesnt realise he'll have to move the drivers mount to get the 1.0 back in.

[big gra]

unless your planning a 1ltr turbo'd nova hybrid, stick with the 1.4!!

[Mike]

yeah potential trouble...

[big gra]

well, should i say potential with the right funds!!! and a lot of them!!!

[KPautomotive]

unless your planning on letting someone repair it who knows what the fook they are doing then i wouldnt bother carrying on


:thumb:

[big gra]

i was about to say that it would be ok if hes learning how to do stuff like rear arches, but just had another look at pics and i wasnt impressed!! needs re-doing,, tell you what, pay me ?30 and ill take it off your hands!!

[johnny_turbo]

the pipes are long because the person who had it before my brother used the 1ltr rad and the engine is not an sr its a 1.4 merit out of a mk2 astra

but i dont want the shell any way as all i wont of it is spare parts for my silver nova

[Ernie]

no you dont...

the chassis's are the same, its just the metal mount from engine to the shell that is different on 1 ltrs to others..

hence when i put my valver in a 1.0 i use the same mount's as i would for any other nova conversion

[craig green]

About 30 quids worth really. Best of luck returning that to road worthy!

[johnny_turbo]

its not goin bk on the road its being stripped for spares

[craig green]
