Wasted a whole morning trying to sort out wiring ! Im useing a cav gsi engine loom and its got 3 big plug on the inside of the car ! What are they for ? I know one id a fuel relay tho ! Where are the wires i need to connect to on the nova loom? Starting to get problems cause i didnt take the nova to bits !
Not been looking forward to having to wrap the exhaust manifold. I got the wrap from ebay and had some spare time today to decided to wrap it ! I was given some advise from jonlem to wet the wrap first but for some reason i thought this wrap might not make me itch !!! Anyway i took me the best part of an hour and a half to wrap it adn heres the result:

Got some more bits and bobs done to the nova. PVS is out of the window but im now going to aim for trax, makes sence as it will be a track car and not a drag car ! Got the wrapped exhaust all painted in heat proof silver paint, think it looks kinda cool.

The down pipes do seem to sit low so i need to try and angle them up without fouling the sump.
Also put my gsi anti-roll bar in the rear beam. Went in a sight better than it come out !

a proper boot install minty mint!!
Think its about time for a update on the work ! Been a while since i done any. I've just decided to get the body ready for paint and leave the engine and bits until it all painted. The original plan was to get it running then paint it but, i changed it !
Had a couple of hours this afternoon so just finished of the filler work on the arches. The arches will be primed with high build primer then flatted and then the whole outer shell will get another coat of high build primer, then flatted for a smoother than smooth finish http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif
