Just testing the water to see what interest it gets. I've got no need to sell it, although I have committed myself to the 21010 season of racing in my Cosworth, so if the Nova will make the right sort of money, I will let it go.

You could try welding the piston that goes into the strut body, though I'm not sure how long it would hold ~ If you wanted to go that route then bolt a bit of billet or box in place instead.

As Colin said ~ the stiffer the better and I'ud have to agree; even in the wet for a FF nova. ……I'm merely trying to promote theory from other members.

Where's the fun in someone saying do this & that for the best results?

Are you really quite serious? There's a reason competition cars have evolved from solid wheels without any kind of spring or damper, in fact, even in x BC they knew to use wheels that flexed slightly!

For anyone with a serious sum of money burning a hole in their pockets, here is the EBAY listing for the car;

Shame your selling it, I really hope it don't fall in to the wrong hands and be ruined.

IMO needs to be kept together as it is very special.

What happended to the plans for a wide arch sport replica ? That would of been awesome.

Does it still have engine problems ?

Andrew Bradley kindly had the car back to his workshops, and has replaced the head gasket as that had failed. So it is now back to perfect, ready to win status. He's also running it up again on his rolling road and will no doubt find a few more BHP.

I'd love to keep it, but long overdue renovation work on our house has started this week, so priorities have changed (common problem).
