My Nova Rebuild

[moffat]

wow vaughan they look amazing

[vaughanmc]

Aye they really are! Feel as though I'm getting somewhere now

Roll on 5 months time! :D

[Cle]

Looks goooood :thumb:

Thought you said your doors were knackered ?? there brand new compared to mine lol

[krobinson]

Looking good, hopefully it'll all match better after some polish!

[vaughanmc]

lol Do you want them Cle before I throw them out ?

Keith - Hopefully all the paint matches after a good polish, it should :)

[Cle]

lol Do you want them Cle before I throw them out ?


Na tis ok i should have a set in better nick soon :)

[vaughanmc]

No problem man :)

They'l be binned then lol - The both doors have had lower skins put on them and are basically held together with Cataloy

[jumoke]

hi vaughan jst read your whole thread... fairplay mate you are an inspiration!!! ive had eight novas latest is a gsi in need of some wrk!! uve saved a nova and done a very tastefull job!!1 keep up the work kid ;)

[vaughanmc]

Cheers mate :)

It will all finally pay off in May/June time when I'm driving! Can't wait

[vaughanmc]

Got some more 'teething' problems with the Nova lol

1. Exhaust centre section heat-shield is hanging off/on (whatever you'd prefer lol) So that will be ripped off I think
2. Needs a drivers headlight as that one I have just now is feckered - So if someone has a Mk2 drivers headlight they'd like to donate me it would be much appreciated
3. The discs and pads have been renewed but when we've had it out we noticed the pads aren't clearing all the disc and only 1/2 is shiney and 1/2 is kinda rusty... Need to look more into that one
4. The centre section where it joins the Magnex needs a wee weld but that should be sorted all in good time
5. Finally, I think lol It needs a new induction pipe/hose to go from the air-filter to the SPI intake thing. A run to the scrappy soon I think
6. Oh aye! I also need to get 2 tyres for my 2 front GSi 3 spokes

I think that's about it anyway...

Vaughan! :)

[greg1.4]

nothing to worry about mate..

yeah get that shield ripped to ****, none of my novas have had them..

i have a mk2 headlight you can have, you have seen my garage..must have about 50 headlights on that top shelf..lol

also got a welder and i can weld pretty well if you are needing anything welded..

also i might have that pipe you are talking about..remember you looked at it and put it on my racks and said "keep that just now"....

[vaughanmc]

Aye lad if you have a spare Mk2 headlight in good condition let me know and that induction pipe thing I could be doing with that as well

Good job I said 'keep it just now...'

Knew it would come in handy lol :D

[Adam]

Remove the calipers, clean and copper grease the slider bolts

[greg1.4]

if the stuff is there, you are more than welcome to it..

will hunt out a good mk2 headlight, take it you will still be able to use your bulbs ect??

[vaughanmc]

I'll get my dad to have a look at it or get it down to my mate's garage and fire it up on the ramp

Can't be anything serious - Hopefully your fix works Adam :)

[vaughanmc]

if the stuff is there, you are more than welcome to it..

will hunt out a good mk2 headlight, take it you will still be able to use your bulbs ect??

Oh aye lad :)

Easy keeping my white/blue sidelights and white/blue main 100w bulbs :D

[Jay]

Any update's vaughan?, its been over 2 weeks lol

[vaughanmc]

Hmm nope lol

Hopefully get a speedo cable from Ernie soon, have my exhaust heat-shield taken off or put back into place, centre section welded soon before the MOT and a new drivers headlight fitted

Not been the weather to do anything to it really lol

[stuartyj21]

if im not mistaken is your car not forsale on pistonheads vaughan:wtf:

[vaughanmc]

Well, me and a mate were bored one night and we put both of ours up on PH to see what kind of offers we would get (My mate's car is the Silver Nova with Softstars fitted)

Just testing the water with that one, it's not 100% up forsale - Just gauging interest and I thought it would be better/easier to do it on there than have it on here

[vaughanmc]

A wee bit of a (xXx_Nova_xXx - Dave) style update here lol

Gave the car a good clean and polish the other week there so it's ready for Knockhill on the 22nd, probably give it a wee wash the morning of the meet before we set off

But here's how it cleans up:

Vaughan :thumb:

[Rich]

Is this not for sale? sure ive seen it on pistonheads

[vaughanmc]

It's on Pistonheads aye

Not really had the right offer or swap for it so it's staying for now

[Jay]

Looking good vaughan, that would be perfect with a unpainted gsi bumper with red pin stripe.

[Rich]

Yeah its not a good time to try selling really, cars looking nice and shiny!

[vaughanmc]

Could be tempted but I like the look of the 'poverty' front end :)

Still, when you look at it from the front it doesn't appear to look like an SRi which is strange lol

[vaughanmc]

Yeah its not a good time to try selling really, cars looking nice and shiny!

I know...

Cheers mate :) Needs a good coat of Wax on it now but it's not been the weather

[Leeboo]

Lovely, looks very similar to mine with the sr wheels!

[vaughanmc]

They look awsome on any Nova :)

[Andy]

Why are you selling it?
Looks nice

[CoolTiger]

wouldn't mind another project - a wee bit bored with mine but still love it :L
quoted off msn :)

[vaughanmc]

lol It's true

Once I'm driving it, my thoughts might change but I'd love another car to muck about with

An Opel Kadett or an old Mk1 Fiesta

[vaughanmc]

Opinions on the red boot grab handle ?

Personally I quite like it:
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g191/vaughanmc/My%20Nova/RedGrabHandle.jpg
Cheers, Vaughan :thumb:

[Ernie]

put the grey one back on but its up to you at the end of the day.

[vaughanmc]

Hmm I'm going to keep it handy incase I feel that I want a change

Kinda evens it up at the back a bit more now I thought ?

[AlexW]

Spray the lock surround.

[vaughanmc]

I'll have it done sometime - No idea how to go about it lol

But...you like it ?

[Cle]

I'll have it done sometime - No idea how to go about it lol

But...you like it ?

I do :thumb: when i you said about it on msn i didnt really think it would look good but it acually does lol

[AlexW]

I'll have it done sometime - No idea how to go about it lol

But...you like it ?

I like it, i just think that without spraying around the lock it looks pants IMHO.

[vaughanmc]

I do :thumb: when i you said about it on msn i didnt really think it would look good but it acually does lol

Cheers man!

I'll need to get it all cleaned up and take some better pics

Had the car out a run last night and stopped at a petrol station, looks awsome there :thumb:

[wilson_sri]

Looks much better mate, as said spray the lock though. Id take the griffin sticker off aswell, will give it a very clean look.

[vaughanmc]

Would look mega bare without the old Griffin I think

Boot lock surround will be painted once the MOT is by ;)

[SRimon]

Would look mega bare without the old Griffin I think

Boot lock surround will be painted once the MOT is by ;)

Sticker doesnt look right on a mk2.

[vaughanmc]

I quite like the look of the older style Griffin on the boot

Always worked well I thought on a Mk1 or Mk2 Nova

[Stevo16V]

Remove the griffin badge i think and get the lock painted :thumb:

Must admit im a fan of the anthracite-grey look tho, nice smart nova tho ;)

[areofall]

looking nice but prefer the grey boot handle. the back number plate a little of level? Loving this though, will ya bring it to NI???

[vaughanmc]

looking nice but prefer the grey boot handle. the back number plate a little of level? Loving this though, will ya bring it to NI???

Aye slightly mate lol

Should have it over in the summer if I pass my test hopefully :thumb:

[Cle]

Need good pics to see how good the boot really looks :thumb:lol

[vaughanmc]

Weekend's update/s:

MOT was on Sat. and it failed on the Emissions. Going to put some petrol treatment in the tank and we fitted a new Temp. Sensor to the engine

Also, swapped back springs with my mate from his silver Nova and it now looks a lot lot better lowered that wee touch more

Then for Cle, some better pics of the boot grab-handle :)

MOT re-test is this Sat. coming :thumb:

[Cle]

What a ugly nova that is :plol:D

Looks good lowered a tad more, But as people have said it will look better once the lock is painted to :D

[vaughanmc]

lol Cheers fella

I'll sort that out once the MOT is passed :thumb:

[Jay]

:)

[amggsi]

Sticker doesnt look right on a mk2.

The square griffin sticker came on the early GSi's so it does fit in with the mark 2.:thumb:

Nova looking well, hope to see it over here during the summer!

[vaughanmc]

Tell me about it mate - It just ties the top half of the back of the car all in together I thought

Was only a wee trial and/or error and its worked out pretty well I'd say

Looks much more impressive lowered that bit more too but can't really take it out anywhere due to having no MOT on the car :(

[vaughanmc]

The square griffin sticker came on the early GSi's so it does fit in with the mark 2.:thumb:

Nova looking well, hope to see it over here during the summer!

Cheers mate I knew someone could point me in the right direction about the Griffin

Hopefully be over with it this summer or autumn :thumb:

[Cle]

Hopefully be over with it this summer or autumn :thumb:

:mad: your willing to go to Ni but no up my way :( :roll::Dlol

[vaughanmc]

lol NI is closer to me than what you are

But I might come up your end a blast one weekend

Your Nova will need to be on the road though ;)

[Cle]

lol NI is closer to me than what you are

But I might come up your end a blast one weekend

Your Nova will need to be on the road though ;)

theres always a catch:cry: :wall: lol

[vaughanmc]

lol Well as they'd say down my end; Finger Oot!!!

[Jay]

Looks very nice matey, unpainted gsi front bumper with your red pin stripe will look good, IMO. I really like the look of your car now, all the little bits on it look good, i personally like the boot grab handle it looks miles better than a standard faded grey.

Jay.

[vaughanmc]

I'll see about a GSi bumper later on in the year ;)

[dougie_boi]

if you want your lock done as well mate give me a shout :thumb:

[Adam]

Emissions fail might be down to the cat mate. Especially if the car doesnt get driven much.

Do you have the emissions readings to hand?

[AlexW]

On behalf of vaughan he said on MSN to me that it wasnt that far out (i thought the cat myself)

[vaughanmc]

The reading should be about 1.030 and they were sitting at 1.037 or something crazy - Hopefully be sorted out for next Saturday though

Dougie - I'll let you know mate, not bothering me too much as it is, top work yet again though :thumb:

[Adam]

Aye, but what was it out on?
HC/Lambda/Co?

Edit-Right, so the lambda reading was out, maybe a bad sensor as the ecu should adjust the fuel ratio to get the lambda to 1 (14.7afr)

[vaughanmc]

Not sure mate I'll have a look at the sheet just now and reply back with the info

The MOT tester (who basically rebuilt the car) said it would be the Temp. Sensor which has now been replaced and it needed some good petrol treatment :)

[dougie_boi]

your welcome mate
check the air filter in the airpan that you put on if its dirty it will run a bit rich and could knock the emisions out mate

[vaughanmc]

Will do fella, I'll have a wee squint on Friday before the re-test :)

[vaughanmc]

Good to go on the road for another year :D

[CoolTiger]

nice one dreading my mot

[Jay]

Good to go on the road for another year :D

Congrats :) :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

[vaughanmc]

Cheers man! Not be long now 'till I'm out driving it :D

[vaughanmc]

Not been much happening on the TCS front lately...

It's been getting driven a lot due to my cousin having my Mum's Corsa for a wee while

Just been keeping the car clean and tidy for any time it ventures out

One thing that was annoying me was that round about the number plate had faded badly due to me not polishing it enough so earlier tonight I took the plate off and cracked out the T-Cut...then brought out the AG SRP and then gave it a run over with some Interflon Wax:
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g191/vaughanmc/My%20Nova/BootDone.jpg
Roll on the L plates and also PVS :D :D :D

[Jay]

Would look good on some mint Cesaros in vauxhall star silver with 195 45's :)

[vaughanmc]

It looks good on those Astra Mk3 GSi alloys as well ;)

[vaughanmc]

Some new pics with the 195/45/15's on and the Irmscher Twinspoke alloys

I'll be fitting a new red bumper stripe as I ripped that one off with the pressure washer lol

It needs a good polish and wax as well before PVS

But heres some quick pictures:

[robertdevlin69]

[General Lee]

You know i never liked mk2's but yours is outstanding, really nice and clean, your swaying me to mk2 now :roll:

[vaughanmc]

Cheers for the comments :D Really much appreciated

I think the Irmscher wheels will stay on it until/if they become more common on a Nova (which I hope they don't) :D

[Benn]

Tis very nice!

[Joe Richardson]

very nice:thumb:

[vaughanmc]

Cheers fellas :)

[Cle]

looks ugly.............................................. ...lollollol

looks spot on mate, what centre caps is t you've got on ??

[vaughanmc]

Opel ones off eBay lol

The old Vauxhall ones were feckered and the new Opel ones match my steering wheel ;)

[Southie]

Love the tidyness of your motor. Bet you cannot wait to drive it. :)

Here is an idea for the Cesaros. :D

http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p379/SOUTHIE01/Novas14.jpg

[vaughanmc]

Really can't wait - I'm into that colour...

Wouldn't do the bumper stripe that colour though

[vx kev]

Liking the new wheels chap, Suit it well :thumb:

Stick with the Twinspokes.........

[Jay]

Very nice my friend

[djbrowney]

looks very nice fella

[vaughanmc]

Cheers for the comments :)

I'll be keeping the Irmscher wheels for definate :thumb:

[gary_126]

The comments are much appreciated

[cgcr]

[vaughanmc]

Cheers :)

[vaughanmc]

Got some Corsa B SRi headrests in the back now and they fit and look much better than the Cavalier ones that were in before

I can see a lot more out of the back window now :) :thumb:

No pics of this though

[Pillar]

wheres the pics of it with the speedlines????

[Kev Turbo]

love the car bar the spoiler

[vaughanmc]

I can post them up here if you really want...

Cheers Kev, it's still a hit or a miss - Looks well against the 16's though :)

[vaughanmc]

Cheers, Vaughan

[Ste L]

GSI Front in grey with red tape would finish that off nicely imo


look's stunning fella

[Pillar]

swap wheels with me lol looks good bud agree with the grey Gsi bumper though

[Joe Richardson]

Nice car mate:thumb:

[vaughanmc]

Definately no GSi bumper lol Had comments at Billing about being half way there with the wheels

I want to keep it looking SRi'ish

[Graeme]

Good to talk to you at Billing mate (about speedlines), love the car I think your right to stick with the spoiler and bumper, but a set of window surrounds would look good imo

[vaughanmc]

I had a wee look round your car again mate, spotted the 5th Speedline (jammy git) lol I also like your back lights as well :thumb:

I quite like the spoiler as I think the wheels make it look more 'fitting' I might fit a splitter to the bumper to make it look lower

Also, GSi surrounds will be on sometime as soon as I can source a set :)

[Graeme]

That was the sixth one, lol , the fifth was in the boot, I'll keep my eye open for one for you

[vaughanmc]

Cheers mate, it would do nicely in the boot of mine :)

[Ben_MK3]

Pretty sure I saw this at Billing on the Sunday! if I did it looked great!

[vaughanmc]

Aye you likely did mate, either sitting still or driving lol

Cheers, glad you liked it :thumb:

[Cle]

Looks good with speedlines :thumb: really like the wind deflecters :)

Did you have a look at the pm i sent you ?

[vaughanmc]

Aye, seen that Sport at Billing...

Don't have £4k to spend on one atm

Glad you like the wheels :)

[Ben_MK3]

Aye you likely did mate, either sitting still or driving lol

Cheers, glad you liked it :thumb:

Yeah was really nice mate, I was on the Astra MK3 stand as that's what I drive but signed up on here as I'm interested in a nova in the future :)

[John]

Yeah was really nice mate, I was on the Astra MK3 stand as that's what I drive but signed up on here as I'm interested in a nova in the future :)

Good man, you Know it makes sense!

Good man, you Know it makes sense!

:thumb: and again mr vaughan looks cracking fella

[greg1.4]

car looks stunning vaughan mate..if it was mine i would fit a grey gsi bumper with red stripe but each to their own..

looking good though fella!

[vaughanmc]

Cheers for the comments lads :)

I want to keep it OE but also try and be different from every other Nova

If I had to go GSi bumpers it would be an exact copy of Craig Green's Nova, I'd likely change the spoiler to a GSi item but keep the Speedlines...and I wouldn't want to copy Craig

[vaughanmc]

Another wee update for this thread

Found out that my back beam has cracked round about the passenger spring seat so it'll need to be changed

Got another one there for it so it shouldn't be long until it's on

Pictures of work/progress coming next week :thumb:

[Dave.]

Not having much look with rear axles on that thing are you lol

[stevie78]

thats what you get for putting big chicks fae cumnock in the back lol

[vaughanmc]

lol Nobody goes in the back! Just my luck I suppose

[dougie_boi]

thats what you get for putting big chicks fae cumnock in the back lol
pmsl lol

[vaughanmc]

Got the new beam on, rear springs fitted again, dampers fitted, rear ARB re-fitted

Just need to sort out the brakes and give everything one last tighten and give the beam a quick lick of paint for the winter then I'll be good to go :thumb:

Cheers to Stevie :)

[connor c]

like i said before vaughan shes a true minter well done lad

[vaughanmc]

Cheers mate

Another wee update for this Nova, picked up a GTE Digidash tonight for it - Hopefully get that wired in and running soon :)

[vaughanmc]

8v Digidash fitted today:

[Cle]

km/h ??? lol

[bmw156]

sweet vaughan. and that 125 is the test at the start i believe

[Riggy]

no its just doin its check when you turn ignition on

[Riggy]

also i so want to fit a digi back into mine lol ,

[vaughanmc]

Aye that's just it on ignition folks :)

Quite smart looking, well worth all the hassle of wiring etc

[Matt]

Cool, I had a digi dash in my old mk2, was hopelessly inaccurate, but I loved it!

Some people reckon they look tat but I'm a big fan. Look proper retro :thumb:

[vaughanmc]

Very very smart looking imo :thumb: Especially with the original coloured bulbs

[greg1.4]

Glad you are happy with the dash mate..

looks cool, i want another for my next nova!only if it is a mk2 though!

[vaughanmc]

Vaughan!

[sport]

Needs a black dash mate.

[vaughanmc]

Hmm not really thought about a black dash if I'm honest

Grey works well with it - If I was going black, I'd go flocked :)

[SRimon]

I'm not sure on the logic of grey goes with it?

The whole GSi interior is black?!!

[vaughanmc]

Well...It doesn't really look out of place does it ?

[sport]

Would really finish it off maybe look like this with the red carpet:

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii258/Graememurdoch/Nova%20gsi/scan0021.jpg

[vaughanmc]

Does look good - I'd like a Flocked one if I was going black though

Nice picture :thumb:

[sport]

Nice picture :thumb:

Been looking at some of my old pics recently.

[vaughanmc]

Done anything good to your previous cars that nobody does any more ? I see you have a front foglight switch ^^^

[sport]

Done anything good to your previous cars that nobody does any more ? I see you have a front foglight switch ^^^

Was going to fit some sort of fogs into front bumper.
Astra GTE bonnet vents,
Vectra handles,
Small stereo install lol
http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii258/Graememurdoch/Nova%20gsi/scan0018.jpg

[vaughanmc]

I'm thinking of something like that for the Mk1 Nova - Alpine V12 amps! Niceeeee

[SRimon]

Well...It doesn't really look out of place does it ?

I'd say so, IMO the MK2 Grey dash only looks acceptable in a GTE, or Standard SR.

[vaughanmc]

It doesn't bother me that much atm - If I do go for anything it'll be a black Flocked item :)

[LEWI007]

Just read through your whole thread, pretty cool.

I think if it was my car it would definately have to be lower, and id put a GSi spoiler, but i suppose the spoiler youve used seperates this car from the rest, but ive never liked it.

Other than that it looks good, i hate how common GSi front bumpers are but i hate the standard mk2 bumper so i think id have to use a GSi bumper on it aswell.

keep it up mate.

[Graeme]

Why not speak to Sean (srs1) about flocking, the quality is excellent and I have to agree the grey looks wrong imo

[vaughanmc]

Lower - No, Cat catches the ground on speedbumps as it is and the ride as it is is very very bad

Spoiler - Might be tempted to change it to a GSi spoiler but keep a hold of my Predator spoiler incase I fancy a change

GSi bumper - Too common, everyone has it and...SRi FTW

[LEWI007]

Mine used to catch so i jacked it up and put another jack under the exhaust, then lowered the car down and jacked the other jack up, it bent the exhaust up into that "well" and tucked it away, now it doesnt catch anywhere, also bent my downpipe the same way, it was a bit dodgy doing it incase i broke anything but it worked fine..

as for the GSi bumper, yes i know everyone has them, i think you should maybe get some sot of splitter no one else has, and add some small spotlights in the bottom of the bumper, just little round ones.

[vaughanmc]

Something I'd look into is front fog lights but I want to concentrate on the Mk1 Nova and just keep this is a clean daily driver

I've got a Laguna splitter in the hut as well :)

[LEWI007]

Havent seen much of your MK1 nova matey, you should take more pics !!!! lol

[vaughanmc]

I'll need to get down one day with the digital camera and get some work done to it - Need to get the engine out the orange Nova 1st then get the engine and box down to the Mk1 and put it in then get the loom sorted out :)

[LEWI007]

Whats the plans for it then, Styling wise ?

You using the same bumpers ive used, or keeping the POV ones ?

[vaughanmc]

I'll PM you mate :)

[vaughanmc]

Another wee update for the Mk2 :thumb:

Tuesday night it's going to get the back wheel bearings done and a plate welded behind the drivers shock for the MOT which is at the beginning of March

Hopefully on Thursday I'll get the tracking done then later that day put the Speedlines back on :thumb:

Pictures later next week :)

[turbocdi]

speedlines are for bengers reemple gonad sack lickers lol

[SRimon]

GSi bumper - Too common, everyone has it and...SRi FTW

lol

You also have Speedlines.

Touché

[vaughanmc]

Speedline'd SRi looker though ?

Uncommon

[SRimon]

You're still missing a lot of bits to be even an SRi rep really tho.

The GSi bumper is popular for a reason, it looks much nicer.

[Adam]

The GSi bumper is popular for a reason, it looks much nicer.

Aye mate the doors were painted later than when the sides of the car were - They've dulled down quite a bit from when they 1st went on but the colour difference can still be seen in pictures

Not that noticeable in person - It'll do for a daily runner :)
