would have taken some more photos but decided to leave it for now, give everything a good clean and sort it all out tomorrow
getting a full working built up engine this Saturday for the handsome price of 270 quid
so the one in pieces will be fully rebuilt over the up coming year
new rings and bearings etc
ARP bolts thru out
re hone block
re grind crank
balance bottom end
port and polished head
288* cams and adjustable pulleys
motorbike carbs
lightweight flywheel (rolling road tuned)
f16 c/r gearbox (uprated clutch)
hopefully that should see something near 180 hp and from what Ive read that makes a very very fast nova :)

so thats some more odds and ends tied up :d
Ah the old familiar overspray on the arm scenario . Been there many many times lol! It's coming on really well!
cheers mate, ive got some white spirt somewhere so hopefully the paint comes off lol
I usually spray my fingers and it looks like nail varnish lol
i carried on spraying the end of my trigger finger when doing the engine bay :tard:, was getting serious cramp in it aswell, the kind of feeling you get when you write stuff down for to long lol
i cant wait for everything to be all clean and painted ready for assembly, never worked on a clean car before normally contending with rusty bolts and years and years of grime and nastiness :O
Been asked why I've painted my nails black sooo many times!Quote:
