Glad you saw it through mate!
Nice to see someone finish something!
Thanks guys i can now see the light at the end of the tunnel lol
Still need to fit the top rad hose on and fit the water swirl pot so i can get it running till its warm and give it a check over
Still left to do is make the rest of the car loom for lights and wipers etc
Fit new windscreen
Bleed brakes
fit front prop
Measure up rear prop and get it shortend then fitted
fit filler neck for tank
Get and fit bigger alternator belt as its very tight just now and a bit noisy
And some other little bits and bobs as always:roll:
But do hope to get it for mot in feb and get it on the road to run it in before i get it on the track
nice project when i did sum diggin about 4x4 novas all i found out was they did about 4 trials for 4x4 novas in spain in the late eighties probably all dead now thou they used a moddified calibra rear sub frame custom drive shafts an wide arch kit if u look about they were called corsa a as u probably no hope this helps
That is truly inspirational! Well done sir :)
Well done, im glad you saw it to the end (so to speak) this will be amazing when finished...

good luck with the sale :)
ahhh o way man, this was awsome!!!! hope it goes for a good price. ahhh im bummed out about this hopefully it goes for someone on here so they can look after it. and that we can still see it lol good luck mate
Been ages since i did anything to the nova so last night when i come home from work i seen it sitting in the drive looking sorry for its self so i gave it a little clean and fitted a cold air feed to the front bumper in front of the air filter
There is a ultimate street car day on at crail not this weekend but the next so i think i will take it up there for a good test drive see how it goes so the clock is going 11 days to get it running and boosting 100% and rip the tyres off lol
lol good luck with it mate :)
get some vids up when its running
