did you change cambelt and waterpump for peace of mind before hand?

same as above.

thanks for your constructive points, this is not the first or last xe'd nova i have done. so i know all the area's of concern.

will get the car running today, went to manc land last night and collected a starter motor off lee h and the very nice man andy017 (i think) gave me some proper sized flexi hose.

just want to get the car running and tried before i start stripping it down again. got my wedding in 2 weeks and mexico (lol) in 3 weeks, so time is running out to get car up and running for show season.
just want to get the car on the road for a few months and then it'll be stripped down again

If your going to Mexico, getting the Nova running is the least of your worries, let me know if I can help with anything Sean (nova not swine flu related)

hahahaha, cheers graeme. after talking to you at last meet. i'm now saving up for the ring trip next easter. another reason the car is getting thrown together now so i can sort out any issues.

mexico aint going to happen now i recon. waiting on the call back today as they are releasing details on flights till end of the month. so will probably next year i'll be going.
riggy said last night he would sort out another meet soon. so we'll chat then about the ring more.

engine is still sat on the front lawn too lol.
gear box removed and oil all over the grass, that'll stop the kids playing footy on my lawn.
next time you go past, knock on the door. you obviously know where i live (stalker)

Good stuff lads :thumb: Sean, I thought you had gone off of XE's in favor of the smaller engines?

i had dar, but after getting the new job and the amount driving i am doing the xe is more ecconomical.

so i have sold my small block and got the xe instead.

car is now running and i have collected my strengthened lower arms and poly brushes for them. these will be getting fitted tomoz. bought new spark plugs also to give it a fresh kick.
