only thing will be wider arches, the rest will maintain the nova shape. Mainly because I’m keeping the full tilt/slide sunroof, it has to retain some of its GSI heritage haha.Quote:

This definitely is a project and a half. I'm not usually for endorsing other people's projects but this one is well worth checking out. Anyway enough of the off topic chat.Quote:

No going back now, looking forward to seeing how these two go back together.
about 3 years ago I sold all my new GSI parts, that’s when it was no going back, unfortunately covid delayed things a bitQuote:

Brilliant!!:)
Front bumper and grille are going to need some imagination. Or is there scope to shift some bits backwards?
Radiator in the back?
bumper and grille should be ok,,ish, main issue is the inlet, it might need a bit of a makeover, thinking about ditching the air to air coolers and using a charge cooler with the core cooled by means on a small evaporator linked into the air con system. It would mean I could ditch a huge amount of weight and pipe work, meaning I only need a coolant radiator and condenser at the front, the standard GSI bumper and grille should supply enough cooling for that, these engines don’t run an oil cooler either so that’s less demand on space too.Quote:
