alrght mate, how did you go about cleaning up the rear chassis legs? do you manage to do anything to the inside of them? and also, what did you use and do for sealing the underside after all the work?
cheers

I have then sprayed waxoyl into the chassis legs with a pipe attachment on my shultz air gun and have then sprayed waxoyl underseal on the outside to seal the bodywork up from the elements.
Hopefully should last a while as the nova will only be used from April - September and live in my garage for nights and overwinter.
Hope this helps

Another update ....
Radtech have been very busy for me making up a new radiator which has a thinner core than standard but higher density of vanes making it as efficient. This is so there is more clearance behind the radiator where the turbo lives as it is very tight in there!

Some pics of my engine rebuild will go up next week - I am putting a Z20LET oil pump on the C20LET block and had a problem as the C20LET oil pickup pipe won't fit - solution a 2.2 Frontera pickup pipe which needs cutting and welding something like this :-
(NB This is Artfulmatt's engine of migweb)

cool, love the rad,
How much did the rad set you back?
Nice rad, should reduce heat soak as well with a bit of luck!
Fantastic thread, been watching for a while, but only just started logging on.
Im doing a similar full scale rebuild on my sri (not quite as mental as this)
look forward to more progress.
Joff, where you planning on mounting your rad fan? front or back? which fan have you gone for?
Simps.
