thats the nova just ready to be primed now.. should have it sprayed by mid next week..
my new cam is on its way! cant wait, i can get that on then try the 40's..
Greg
getting there!!
well, primed half the car today..ran out of masking tape so didnt get the back end done. came out really good so far.
this is my list of things to do before the 5th of August (and i am going on holiday for a week too)!! so time is getting tight. :lol:
got to spray the car, re fit my bumpers, headlights, grill, bonnet pins, wire my fan to a switch, wire my master switch and push button in, wire my new coil in, fit new camshaft which wont be here til wednesday/thursday, fit twin 40's and set them up, bolt my harnesses in properly, re-new engine oil, fit new manifold and downpipe, fit 4 speed box, new gearbox oil, fit new clutch, rear lights, mirrors and i think thats about it..
until i get my camshaft i cant build engine back togethor which is a pain.. and until i get more masking tape i cant spray her..
just thought i would give you an idea or what i actually need to do.. my holiday is a pain in the **** really. :lol:
Greg
got some pics. just need some fast flash thinners and i can bash on with the final colour.. will hopefully get my cam and 40'son before thursday night when i go on holiday..

well thats the engine finished.. just back from ibiza last night and this morning i got cracking with the nova.. at 6pm tonight i got her all re-built up.
then came to the bit of starting her.. battery was flat, so i put jump leads onto her and then fuel was pishing out the fuel mechanical fuel pump so i done away with that and ran the feed pipe straight into the pressure regulator and into the 40's (is this ok to do so)??
tried her again and she fired up.. yahoo! what a awesome noise.. going to spray it tommorow and finish hiding the wiring and making a wee loom for my engine bay, so plenty pics and a video will be on soon.
Greg
thats her sprayed.. so chuffed with it. especially when i have sprayed it myself and i think the result is cracking for a 14 year old.. i have got one run on the back quarter that is a very small thing but i know its there and it will annoy me.. i have tried to show this on one of the pics..
all i have to do now is put all my lights in, window wipers, finish the wiring in the engine bay, fit throttle cable, change clutch and gearbox.. i think thats about it really apart from stickers and finishing touches..
