Looks a nice setup that, love the look of the turbo
Cheers mate, might be a tad on the big side but hey ho.
Mocked up some of the panels the other day. Was a bit of a task on my own so could get it perfect. Will need to trim a wee bit off the wings as it’s fouling a wee bit all in areas that aren’t seen though.

Nah wasn’t me that made the panels mate. And no Bruce I’m not painting them haha
Not been on here in a while. Few updates, engine’s been in and out a few times getting it in the conrrect position and getting the cut out at the front of the tunnel right. There’s a pipe on the transfer box that’s fouling at one of the steering rack threads. I’ve either to cut the thread and leave 3 for the steering rack and knock a bit up for extra support or chop a bit on the box, not decided which yet. Then can get the tunnel strengthened at the front to take another gearbox/ transfer box mount.
After that jsut need to fab to bits in the bulkhead and alternator cut out and the front end should pretty much be finished.
Just realised I’ve got nowhere to host my pics at the moment.. deleted the apps. Pics to follow.
Any updates on this at all?

Glad to hear it’s still coming along, these long term projects are testing!
yeah big time. With everything having to be custom made up just adds time which I already don’t have. I’d love to have it in primer by the end of the year and ready to start building but we’ll see.Quote:

Ah ok. I’ll have a gander!Quote:

took the engine back out. I’ve a bit more to grind of the transfer box to get it to fit in the tunnel. Once I’ve got that to fit I just need to strengthen up the front of the tunnel, make a rear gearbox mount and a few other little bits and the front end will be done.
finding time has been difficult but looks like I have much more of that in a weeks time when I’m back on day shift.
Good to hear it’s still going!
So you’re still working through the crisis then? Key worker?
Aye it will get done just a matter of when haha
yup still working... I repair drilling equipment for the oil and gas industry... apparently makes me a key worker for some reason ?
Construction related industries is still such a big question mark
Any progress mate?
Think Baz is just plodding away prepping and painting the engine bay the last I seen. Coming along nicely.Quote:

Not been on here in a while! I’ve been funding my other project which should be complete in the next month or so. I’ll be cracking on with the nova again then. Few things will be changed from the original plan. Cutting the whole back end out and starting again.
Good to hear you're still around. Look forward to updates! Interested to see how it will evolve. [emoji2956]

Agreed Niek.
small update…
been a change of plan this year. Been too much fucking about so decided to send it to the Bodyshop and have my new floor and quarters put in. At least I’ll have a change of having it built at some point now. It’ll now be fwd again and still keep all the carbon parts etc etc. sick of staring at it in the garage.
Sounds like a plan mate, hope it’s a decent time turnaround
