My Nova Build -WIP-

I see youve gone for the side mounts on the seats, are you getting rid of the standard seat mounts now then?

Cracking project that, enjoyable reading!

Cheers,

No I'm not gtting rid of the standard seat mounts as I need the drivers seat to be easily adjustable, The seat mounts I have are normal nova gsi runners that have been modified with side mounts.

I would like the seats fixed but as I said I need to keep it adjustable.

Thanks for the comments

Well update time.

Been and fetched a pair of GTE bumpers and a grille today. The rear one came with genuine dealer sport mudflaps too! Bonus!:D

Also had a trial fit of the rear coilovers to see if they were going to cause problems, and thankfully they went on a treat, Just need to give the welds a tickle up with the grinder just to give an extra mm or so, but as they are seemed all good. heres some pics

In all seriousness though I'm well chuffed the coilovers fit with no issues. More updates soon

Good news on the rear coilovers mate, but I think you may have overlooked a few of the pannel gaps on the front end... They might need re-setting!

Rob.

Do you need to strengthen the rear turrets before fitting coilovers?

Great project you have there. Looking forward to seeing the paint scheme.

Update time again!

Took my Cylinder head to be skimmed/faced

And then got it built up, with new stem seals, but its less lifters and cams at the mo, but thats the hardest part out the way!

Been busy on the shell this weekend, Rear strut brace is in, had a practice with my welder and plated the holes in the floor up. Just a few odds and sods left to do, as we ran out of wire on the big welder and gas on mine!!

couple of hours doing them and I can then start prepping for getting it painted up.

Bit of of an update, The shell is now completley seam welded and all ready to start prepping, and I have just got a dizzy setup for my carbs. Cheers again Gazz!

More pics soon.
