Modded to fit polo indicators, via a big hammer. Actually had to bash these in a bit further lol
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...5062008441.jpg
Bumper on its way... note its not getting dark, actually very windy and rather cold. I will be ill for PVS :(
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...5062008442.jpg
Dark pic, but the front end assembled. Need to look at the fitment of the light panel as its not quite right, may need to drill some new mount holes. All the lights are connected and working (indicators, headlights, sides) except for the inner spots as it was too dark and cold to feck about with those lol
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...5062008443.jpg
Jobs for tomorrow include bringing the car home (:eek:), getting the inner lamps working, wiring in the alarm and perhaps the central locking if I can be bothered, and putting in the sub, maybe a couple more speakers (only on the std dash jobbies at the mo).
[edit] Ash, I'll drop the indicators round tomorrow if you like? Ta muchly, I owe you a PVSburger lmfao
Tidy RJ, don't forget the tango lights when you come back.
That front bumper does look cool with those lights in. Think the grill might need to be blue tho... I'll pop round for a nose tomorrow ;)
I did some 'shops ages ago, and the blue just seemed to bland IMO.
Forgot to mention, tigerseal is a PITA to work with. Almost had uber catastrophic bumper fail due to it being crap and not holding the indicators in properly, but after a quick bodge and some luck, the lights are in and flush and relatively tidy. Advantage of black bumper: can't see all the excess sealant bodged round the indicators lol
Looking well and sounds muckin fint bud, sounds exactly like my old one, oh i need an XE`d nova again!
Nice one Jack! Good to be on the road?
Interesting to say the least!
Drove it back from Alex's this morning, only had one water leak which was an easy fix, although stopping at some traffic lights to see a massive cloud of (what I thought was smoke, but turned out to be) steam coming out from the front was a bit worrying, especially due to the threads about cars catching fire!
Cleared out all the crap inside, sorted the audio, and straightened the front end just now. Ash came over so had a ride in his 1.6, mine is quiet and refined in comparison lol
Might look into the alarm and central locking, but got a few bits and bobs to do first. Mainly, get food for tomorrow :D
lol I hate the noise, first thing I'm doing when I get some spare money is having TSR build a custom, QUIET, exhaust lolQuote:

offside matrix pipe, the hose just slipped off a bit. Pushed it back in, tightened up the jubilee clip and all is good again :DQuote:

I have one bucket seat in, lmfao. My dad welded some "mounts" to the passenger side subframe, which are totally fecking useless, so I couldn't put that one in :(
Hmm, its developed an annoying misfire under heavy(ish) acceleration :(
Got new plugs here, as I thought they could have fouled up, but I reckon it could be "porous" head, or the gasket has gone. Its drinking lots of water...
Any sign where the water is going? Probably worth cracking it open and change the gasket anyway, the cost of the parts is minimal really compaired to the problems and headaches it could cause. To give you an idea, GM parts for mine were £46 (Gasket and bolts)
I take it you know how to fix the 'porous' head? It about the only thing I know about (ghay) big blocks :p lol
Had a wee look round it at PVS and I really really like it
The Irmscher front end really sets it apart :)
Get the waterways sleeved I believe. Tempted to have that place out in the sticks take a look at it, which I can't remember the name of off the top of my head... Thornfalcon?
I don't think there's any more leaks, although I did notice a slight damp patch under the front when I was parked at Halfords last night, under the radiator (which did have a leak to begin with, bodged with radweld). Didn't see any drips though.
I'll do the plugs today and see what the old ones look like. Parts guy at Halfords couldn't get his head round how I have an Astra engine in a Nova, so no luck with a fuel pump there. Found an Nova MPi one on ebay though, £30... might plump for that as a spare.
lol, that happens a lot. I find it easier to tell them I have an Astra when i need bits like that. Stops the poor guys getting confuzzled.Quote:

If you need a new rad, give me a shout. Sorted James (spud) out with one the other day - £45ish.
Well its running again, with all of its revs back :D
New fuel pump seems to have worked its magic. That is, after I put the connections on the correct way round, whoops lol Only managed to spill quarter tank over myself lol
Did notice the tank to pump fuel hose was looking pretty mashed inside - possibly what killed off the old pump - so I've replaced that as well. Just been out for a quick rant, so once its cooled down I'll check the water hasn't disappeared again.
Next week I'm back at work, so it'll be a test of how well the car performs as a daily hack.
wtf? That was a brand spanking new piece of hose?? :confused: :wtf: :tard:Quote:

Needs to be lowered down a bit though, I was hoping I could get away without chopping all the metal off the back of the dash but no :(
Water temp doesn't work, handbrake light doesn't work, no oil pressure warning light, I have no air to the windscreen as I've taken the duct out to chop it, and I've not yet run a cable to the coil for revs, but the fuel and speedo work. BODGETASTIC
Oh, don't sit in your car all afternoon chopping bits off your dash and inhaling the dust. I feel like I've just had 20 pints.
What was wrong with your Nova clocks? lol
