Your car was the only other nova i'd seen with a polished brake servo other than mine.
We'll have to wait n see what it looks like all built up. Keep it up.
Great update benn. Your Cars looking really well. Grey servo ftw. Can't wait to see it up close!
So found out yesterday that the water pump was wrong, as it was a late one. GGrrr, got that out, then me and Dan set about setting the timing and cams up with the adjustable pulley on the inlet.
So to day i wanted to get my inlet manifold built up and on..
First thing was remove the tb to see why the bolts had come undone. Did this to find the thread had pulled out of both holes.

Tb cleaned and refitted with a new gasket. Rebuild inlet. Really annoyed, i have a chromed fuel rail that i rebuild some where, cant find it for the life of me.. So a dirty one will have to do for the time.

Made sure these can all be got at from under the car just in case... Polished the jubliee clips too.

Found that the lacquar had moved the base colour on the servo, so you could see the black i had used as a pre base.. So flatted it all off and repainted.

Its now been painted grey to match the servo, think that should look ok...
Re painted and lacquered all my brake lines too.
Then did a little polishing...
This bit gets forgotten about by alot of people, but you can see it as the dizzy mounts to it. So if you have a nice sexy dizzy and rocker cover, this can let it down... So sanded and semi polished.

Started a new oil cap too... half and half jobbie..

And with the cam end too, need a tiny bit more on the soft head.
