It's had a light porting and someone has ground the standard valve guides!

Whats the blue pipe/wire taped up??
Blue taped wire was because I run out of red, and it reminded me that that should be red lmao
Roof vent ok:)
Noob question, wheres the filter on those TB's? i've seen a few pics like that and always assumed they just took a sausage filter off for the pics or something, but unless you have a sealed entry through a similar filter for the nitrous kit I'm guessing yours is permanantly like that? :confused: Was an awesome Nova btw and glad to see you're fixing it up :thumb:
I could get my piperx filter over the injectors, I had them mounted at an angle. I took it off for racing.
Oh right lolQuote:

A better representation of how the orange and grey look! I love it!!!

'Slam panel' is now bolted in with an allen bolt and nut. Need to make a rad fixing, and get a grille to see how far faorward it can go.

Today was a good day as for as the engine bay is concerned! I believe i'm now on the slope back down (re fitting parts:D)
So here goes with todays update:
Holes drilled ready for the pedal strenthening plate to be bolted in.
http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/1...lbox001bi4.jpg
Loads of tiger seal to try and give a seal.
http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/7...lbox003xd6.jpg
Then I plumped it on, bolted it up, and used more tiger seal to stop the channel. In reality I don't really use the car in the wet, but it's worth doing!
http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/551...lbox004gq3.jpg
Pedal box on, looking hardcore, I can't wait to drive it again!!!!!!
http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/3...lbox005no1.jpg
Now it's time to make the brake lines and bleed etc...
Then I moved on to playing with the head. I'm going to do it myself. Used the die grinder and the drill. First things were to match the ports to the gasket/(inlet) manifold. Going up to Lee's tomorrow evening to see some of there work, and get some ideas/pointers.

Then I noticed this f**ker, oh it was an ugly c**t, I took this pic (check it's hair:() Unlike Lee303 who named and kept his spider, I carb cleanered it to death as <cockney accent> I f**king 'ate spiders!!! After I killed it, me and Barry kept having random attacks from other spiders and maggots, I had obviously killed the Don of the spider habitat in my garage!
http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/1...lbox013sr8.jpg
Whilst I killed spiders, and played with things, Barry (flatout) got on with a bit of painting. We had gone to Halfords to look at a good colour combo to do the engine bay. I loved how it was before, it looked great. This time things will be a bit more subtle... or maybe not. I've had an urge to paint the mirrors etc in an illuminous colour, but we've decided it would be a bit crap looking. So although I know some people won't like it, I think it looks great.
Sand blasted L...
http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/7...lbox014vn8.jpg
Part of the brace, notice the RAC van in the back ground... It's brighter than the van!
http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/315...lbox020ok2.jpg
http://img376.imageshack.us/img376/3/pedalbox023wz9.jpg
A few bits in the bay will go this colour. The RC is still being considered but I think we have the plan. Hopefully it'll look good! If you've seen a 'Dynorod' van, it's that colour.
http://img82.imageshack.us/img82/135...lbox028tq5.jpg
Placed to see how the contrast is, I think I must have had the shakes, as all 3 pics i've taken are blurry! Notice the ally slam panel and rad are in! The colour represents fire lmao
We also cleaned the bodies and linkage... looking loads better, no snags and all line up perfectly! Yippee!!

Looking good Rob, I'll get the spanners back ASAP.

arggghhhhhhh i would have shat myself seeing that spider lol, hate them, cars looking good mate
Jeff let me know when your done/if ya need a hand:)
Mike I did mate, I actually screamed like a girl when I carb cleanered it and it came towards me! Seriously he was on steroids! although for all it was worth he's now dead!

http://img241.imageshack.us/img241/3...ange005xd9.jpg
Nope, I was going to keep the strut brace burnt, but it all rusts too much! I'm not into the rat look:)
Good to see you getting back on track. Seems like only yesterday you were bending valve making your car backfire!

Rebuild's looking superb - 10/10 for cracking on with it. keep the pics coming...
