Hey mate that looks good, where did you get it because im thinking about getting one ?
just found it on ebay, is a newton equipment one

Looks more like the Novatec one's
talked about this on another thread, i think the novatech, newton and tweeks ones are all the same. but mines in definetly newton, pt no is stamped on the back of it
picked up these off john h today, easiest place to store it for now is were it should be lol, ive now got 2 sets of gsi bumpers one bnib (scared to use them lol) and these which i think are virtually new, cheers john:thumb:

Have you any pics of how this car use to look? did it ever appear in fast car/max power?
Scott
yes fast car many moons ago (ive had it nearly 10 years!) when i first did it 'tw*t boy' racer style, one of the pics is on the front page of this thread, the colour is still the same for now untill i start the body work project next year ( just goin for mint conditon standard and probably jupiter red or a matallic black in colour)
Really good build mate, looking forward to seeing it back together
well im back on shift now for four days, so come sunday im gonna try and get thebumper on properly and try and do the skirts, need some clips though!

the beast with coilovers fitted
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...12010179-1.jpg
and what i discovered afterremoving the spring and poking about, obviously ive cut the majority of it out now, just waitin for my air saw to arrive to remove the rest, while ive gone this far im gonna turret for the coilover, by the state of the rot, its a good job i fitted the coilovers to find it!
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...2012010184.jpg
that engine looks amazeing mate :thumb: top work
^ thanks, just p***ing me off now that whenever i try to go and put some miles on it to wear it in, something goes wrong, first the wheel bearing, now this rot! aggghhh!
That rot is just like my mates was. not good, but better you found it now.
thats all the fun of owning a nova, youve got it easy, my corsa i cant even sell for £300 lol, i just want another nova lol, chin up though, there is a silverlineing :thumb:
ok, rot has been sorted, thats what most ive me time has been spent doing lately, but it did give me chance to do my manifold and refurb the petrol while they were off, look see:

manifolds back on, puttin the tank and exhaust back on tomorrow, fingers crossed might be able to have a blast in it!
exhausts now going back on tomorrow, going to try and get my 280mm hispecs on too, not looking forward to messing around with the bias box again though!
Top stuff :) look suspciously like my old fuel tank lol
had the tank for years matey! fitted new track rod ends today and have started to waxoyl inside, messy stuff!
Looks like a std Nova petrol tank, what's unique? lol
Looking good, nice repairs! What have you painted the manifold with?
The dents in it, mine had identical ones from when i dropped it lol Had my Nova apart that many times I just remember random bits like that lolQuote:

thanks for comments about the repairs iainel, they took me long enough lol
the manifold is sprayed with plastikote high temp aluminium paint, ive used it before and works really well, just finshed 'baking' it today, tried to fit my hispec 4 pots also but the noobs sent me the wrong caliper mount!!! ive setup a thread in mechanical, have a look see if you can help. another day on it tomorrow, waxoyl time and a few other niggly jobs before i get her back on the road!!
oh btw, can some one tell me how to rename my sig link to say 'my project' rather than just the link! cheers, sean
just the globe button with the chain its pretty easy after that.
cheers dude
Ta for the rep!! :D
^no probs matey
got the exhaust back on today, had to repaint the manifold as the plastikote stuff peeled off! any way sand blasted it clean and painted it with halfords high temp stuff, worked a treat, baked once i got the exhaust on on it set sweet! hispec hace admitted thier ball drop and are sending out the correct brackets for my calipers. did some little jobs also like getting my gauges working and wiring up my led gear change lamp. gonna get some waxoyl done tomorrow and refix the back bumper. its getting there!

Love what you've done to this car mate :thumb:
^thanks mate just going down the garage now to do some more im on a tight deadline for the 'the ring!'
finally got it back on the road today! only did 10 miles as was paranoid, but all went well! only prob is that i think i have a bad connection somewhere as my sidelights are coming on dimly when i indicate or hazard! any ideas?
Sounds like could be a crossed wire, you need to check your wiring, i'd start in the engine bay to make sure nothing has corroded or split when working in there.
