Nova Turbo

Finally got round to doing some work on the nova today, not sure where its heading yet due to ??? but Im going to see a chap either today or tomorrow about a full respray. Might be taking the engine out as the sump is leaking like feck and want to paint it all up etc

Todays jobs were, start stripping engine bay and remove wings so as to enable me to rewire the whole loom.

Ive got some new bits in the post and will be re-polishing the wheels and strut brace etc

More Progress to follow, just waiting for my dad to buy a decent shed to stash all his junk in

Enjoy :)

Another respray! Lol, the red looks nice and fresh still now.

What are the plans then, remove engine etc, respray shell, re-fit engine with some polished bits etc?

Sounds good.

good work mate,
keep focus wheels silver though,

some great pics and great cars there!

Damn Nick!

Dont go changing her too much, its my fave Nova of the moment.

Good luck with the work you have planned. I look forward to seeing it finished & at some shows next year.
