absolutely awesome mate!! will be a car and a half, once finsished!
hats off to you, nice TCA idea :)
any more pics of the TCA and tie bars, Please
Lee303 off MIG made the tie bars, I saw some in his build thread he made and knew they would be the answer to the tie bar issue.
The engine loom is now in and done, a few other bits are now bolted in but not much else done besides that.
Will probably run a carbed tank (as i have one coming off a mate) into a facet red top then external swirl pot in the boot feeding a cosworth fuel pump.
Ben- Escorts coming along about as fast as this nova lol its been dipped and I'll know more by the end of the week.
only other pic of the tie bar i have :

i must admit fair play to you for sticking with it just caught up with it and that is smashing work your doing!
Right, time for another update, Ad came up this weekend so we got quite a bit done on the car.
The engine bay is now fully wired, the new engine loom is in, 90% of the engine bay is complete, just waiting on a few parts to arrive then than side of things will be done.
The interior and fuel system is next to finish, a set of buckets and a new dash setup have hopefully been sourced so I will collect them asap. The whole fuel system and oil cooler will be aeroquipped which I hope I'll get this week, then it should be quite close to running. I hope by the end of March it will be running and ready for mapping in April.
Heres some pics of how it looks so far:

This is how the interior currently looks, that should hopefully change a fair bit over the next month

something for me to aim for :)
hey, have a similar build to this in progress myself mate (although not as much internal mods...yet!) and was wondering which manifold you have as it looks pretty similar to mine and hope i don't have the same tie bars probs (although i was tempted to buy the kit from lee303 but feel it is a touch ott for what i'll use the car for)
keep the pics etc coming
The manifold was custom made by Simpson exhausts, it was made for another nova which the engine must of sat slightly different to this one.
ah, excellent!
