Christ on a bike! This will be on the road next week then!!
Looks ace that, done some good work there, the welds look cracking too, wish i could weld like that, think weldings one of them things you can blame the tools, not the person, as crap welders produce crap welding i found.
Woooo, go on Ste i thought youd forgotten about this lol
Good to see some more progress on this beasty:d
this is just sex on wheels. you got a date you want it done for or just plodding along with it mate?
It sort of gets done when it gets done thing is i keep getting alot of private jobs engine build conversions ect so my free time keeps getting snatched by them plus at the min im back driving again (seasonal unfortunatly) but the eagle eyed will notice come the winter months thats when i tend to be most active in the workshop as the driving dies off
would like the vast part of the structural stufff finished shell blasted and a coat of seal etch primer on ready to start mocking it up so i can sort the body by my birthday (end of september)
also the only reason i sold the cav turbo was so i could get on with this instead of constantly chasing power out of that
now its gone i can crack on
finaly after about 2 years the nova has a full floor at last (well almost)

awesome just awesome
Bloody hell, I have just skipped to this last page. Where is the nova? lol
That is some project you have going there.
goes back to read the rest from the top
i stood back this afternoon and just looked at it blank and open minded and just thought to myself, Christ i realy have done some welding and i wounder if now the cage is in and tied to the chassis if i cut the nova off if it would still be drivable as a buggie lol.
it doesnt seem alot as its been done abit at a time but it dawned on me earlier just how much i have done and its scary!
well done mate nice to see some more work on the beast, that back end looks really nice, i want to see this at pv next year :)
i didnt realy want to taint it but the plan is it will be driven before christmas (with an xe in for testing before paint but driven never the less)
Are you going to keep the outside standard looking, or will it have to be widearched and everything ?
Just it'd be nice to have an original look, but a really good spec and 4x4, rather than look like a race car, and being a race car lol
Id make it like a standard GSi or GTE or SR or something, thatd be nice.
Fooking epic :thumb: welding looks top class.
defo more than 21% now lol
loving the fabrication going on in this build.
unfortunatly mate its completly no compramise function over form! i agree it would be nice to look standard but i havent done the hours of head scratching to go over a 100mm wider track front and rear and intending on running somewhere around an 8 or 9 j set of wheels for nothing.
paint work will be fairly plain though with just png urls and possibly a few small ones for the local firm that have been supplying cheap steel other than that it will be sticker free aswell
but then you have the other problem that i have an intercooler a huge rad and 3 oil coolers to house and duct air through add to the fact that the exhaust and screamer pipe are exiting from the front of the car and all of a sudden the front end will also begin to look like swiss cheese aswell.
body work will be what it will be im afraid. i am intending to keep it as recognisable as a nova as possible but again its a needs must situation and if it aint needed its not having it.
Yeah i understand what your saying, keep it up.
Fabrication looks awesome.
looks mint ste, cant wait till we are both at Santa Pod doing scooby's and Evo's all day..
Wow, that's some great fab work in the back dude.
