damn you as soon as the guy said there were sold on CS i know youd got them lol

Yeah pal, It was too good to miss imo.

Needed to go see mark in stafford, and only 40 miles further to get the tanks!

Just need the custom solutions stuff to come now:)

And a tx autosports rad, then its game on for strip down, and UBER shiny clean up:)

thats true was a good price. i only wanted the header tank as wont have room on the drivers side for anything lol

Im gonna have to sort something out like Matthew172s setup for mine when the c20let goes in, over the next few years:)

Then I fancy smoothing the bay over like benn has, but its a hell of a lot of work;)

look's photoshopped to me :p

don't bother with smoothing, roughly brushed seam sealer and angle grinder scars is where it's at... lol
...cos thats all you'll be left with anyway when the filler falls out, the moment you jack up one corner lol

looking good though :thumb:

looking good there pal! what you done with the alternator bracket? made your own or bought one???i'm around the weekend if you want me to pop up for the bit's, give me a msg on facebook!:thumb:

did you get the wing bolts from ebay ??:)

Cheers Lewis lol not going for the smoothed look, I CBA, gonna strip it all out, and have it pro painted, then any part that goes back in will be new. Also gonna hide the looms:)

Yeah grant, im out on the KTM sunday, but sure I can sort something:)

Yes ryan, off ebay for pennies tbh:)

Well, bit of an update minus pics!*

I've been busy sorting out a new daily Astra van, got it as a non runner and sorted the pump out and she's away again. However, the nova has received a small amount of love from me.

I've bought, and need to collect on the 25th and 26th of the month a ruck of parts.

Got, brand new passenger door, brand new bootlid and brand new passenger side sill, also bought 2 full genuine gm 1/4 pannels, another set of speedlines, headlight protectors and a brand new bailey breather tank!

Purchased megajolt light ignition system, and got to get that paid for and wired in thanks to Phillip on here!

Also got the rest of the parts for the carbs, just need a linkage now, and then I'm away.

Just finished my rose jointed gear linkage, been building it on my brakes and dinner times in work, I'm really pleased with it, and I've used the link arm from a mk3 Astra so avoid turning the plastic lug round, which IMO gives a nicer stick feel!

I've had the carpets up in the corners of the nova, and can report no rot at all, one scab of surface rust which has been wire wheeled, krust treated and then anti rust primered.

The friend of my dads who has the rallycar bodyshop is coming out this week to have a look see at the front end being sorted out so I can have absolutely perfect pannel gaps!

Aside from this, not that much to report really, apart from this small project has completely spiralled out of control into something that can only be described as building my perfect nova! This will be my first and last nova I build, so I'm doing it properly, as the ones I've had before have just been run about abuse toys lol.

Anyone got a drivers sill and door for me? Lol
