Iv recently swopped my xe corsa for 2 nova's. one being a very good shell which had origanily been built with a throttle bodied xe. but i purchased it as a rolling shell.
Plans;
my plans are a c20let which was running about 250bhp in the chavalier it came out of.

here are a couple of pics of the shell and a couple of bits iv got for her.

i was listening to oasis whilst posting the thread lol thought it was apropriate.

bit of an update iv put the dash in and the back windows, iv sorted out all the new brake lines so they are all gravy now. fitted my new sterring rack and ball jionts etc etc.

im having a few proplems with the lump as the block that came with the engine was heaverly worn in an odd place on cylinder 4 i can only put this down to a bent rod but luckerly the rods and pistons i hav e never went in this block. iv traced an 8 valve block to use so roll on happy days
ill try and get some pics today

cheers guys and wench's
