???????????????? wot about that plate mate [ see previous post]^^^^^
Yes that is part of the H H kit, the kit is being fitted as the build manual shows,
The kit is only ?100 from HH but its quite a lot of work to get fitted
Kit now fitted, engine bay being sprayed shortly.
Just waiting for the last few bits for the engine build then it will be built and then dyno'd and mapped at the same time. Should be ready by the end of August with a bit of luck :D

Engine bay looks good adam. Nice welding!! Im not sure why but i like welding. Its great when you finnish it and it looks GOOD. Well done.
And i agree with Karl the stickers would look rather silly imo!!
Bruce
:oops: Welding not done by me, my mate Martin did it. 10 out of 10 is all i can say ;-)
i aint into the graphics either matey.
i agree with karl also, keep it looking clean and sharp.
definatly a nice bit of welding but a bit excessive stitching the firewall!Quote:

yeh ive got the build manual as we stitched my chasis last summer, but with the firewall bein completly non structural we didnt bother with it
I ended up having the front end of mine bead blasted to get good welds

m8 that looks superb.....................
a real proper job :+:
Olly that is an awsome job ;-) Saw you car at Billing 2 years ago and its stunning.
I could spend more time and effort to get mine to a similar standered but tbh its going to spend its life on the track not for people to admire so theres no point. 90% of my money went into the engine build lol
cheers mate, gotta say the work you are doin on yours look top notch too mate. God was that billing 2 years ago! thats the last time i drove the car, its been in bits since with final year uni etc ive just not had the time or money to build it as quick as i would have liked, and to be honest im startin to loose enthusiasm, there is still a lot more money to go into it for the throttles brakes etc. Im so tempted to strip it and put the money into turning my g40 into a track weapon; its seing threads like this thats gives me a bit of motivation to finish the thing lol
Keep going lads, looks like both are going to be mint :wink:
P.S Ollster, did you realise that there was a copy write on the engine you have a picture of? :lol: Well chuffed you used a picture of mine, exactly what i was like with Barts yellow nova. We had to keep reminding ourselfs what it should look like.
Karl
damm karl didnt realise i was gonna have to pay royalties :lol: If i see you at any car shows this year ill get you a beer dude, its peoples cars like yours that stop me from giving up and breaking mine for spares!
No worries mate, glad its been of some use to you. Dont brake it you will regret it in the long run mate, its all worth it when you get to drive it. Look forward to seeing it in the near future.
Karl
Awesome Adam!!! Fair play mate. As has been mentioned, I can't wait to see it on the Ring Next year 8) Theres going to be some sweet Nova's coming along, and by the looks of it this may be the one to watch out for in everyones rear view mirrors :D
We're just got to stop that Karl Rowntree messing about with that Jap rubbish and bring his Awesome Vaux along next year :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink:
Neil
I'll go and see Karl and take him out in mine and i think that will be enough for him to bring his Nova next year ;)
Call you in a few days Neil to arange collection of that bonnet ;)
Cant wait to go in it Adam, but dont want to as i will end up spending more on mine!
Dont worry the nova may be out of storage sooner than you think :wink:
hope so mate as i think so many ppl love to see your car at the shows each year,im waiting to see what you have done,as im sure you said you wer doing something to her? :DQuote:

Need a new door :(
Got a few things sorted in my head about how i want the car to look, going to try them when the engines in :wink:
Getting the TB's this week and there going off to the engine builder so he can match them to the head.
Slowly but surley lol
nice, lol at the inner wheel arch pic, thats the one bit of welding I done as Martin told me to prove I can atleast weld now without blowing any holes in anything!
its coming along quite well now, hopefully a few things will come together shortly and we'll be able to think about getting an engine in it.
Engine bay now painted 8)
