1987 Vauxhall Nova Ski

Got a couple of bits done today. Was expecting some calipers to be dropped off but the fella never turned up. Got my coilovers set up better, gonna get some spacers made up to stop any movement between the topmount and the spring seat though.

Anyway here's a few pics I took just for the sake of this thread...

Spacer that didn't quite fit so was removed (supposed to fit over the wider part and sit on the spring seat)...

Fitted up again. This time the piston flat sticks through nicely...

lol I know fella.

Think I'm gonna start building a nicely spec'd 1.3 on twin 40's over the summer (when I've got some money coming in) and get a CR F13 box for it. Then come the end of the summer I aim to rebuild the car and do the engine conversion then. Just leaving the engine as it is for now for cheap insurance and just because I don't want to do anything else with the car now except drive it!

it is the bollocks this car. Awesome.

Looks really good mate, I wouldn't of been able to stop myself making a sport replica out of it, is it missing wheel bolts in the side shot?

Aye, it's still tempting to do a Sport rep but I like the fact that it's different to anything else. It'll pretty much be a sport bar the decals once the engine has be fettled!

Yer it's missing a couple of bolts form each wheel, just beacuse I'm only rolling it in and out of the garage atm and because I've had the wheels off alot lately.

nova coming along nicely chum, nice simple mods, nothing to over the top..


good work..:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:
