My Nova Rebuild Thread...

lol No.

How long ago did you change your V5?

Now you need evidence. I tried to fill out the new number and send the V5 back. Got it returned with a letter.

Yep, mine got returned with a letter, but I knew an mot tester that has his own company doing rally car prep work so he did the mot, checked it over and for a few quid he wrote a letter with his company name saying it was fitted properly/ safely and that it had bigger brakes and suspension to cope with it.

Rolled her out today so i could get some up to date pics for the insurance...

She is running rough as hell at the mo. But today was the first time i have started the engine since waaaay before crimbo. Also not alot of fuel in the tank. Took the plugs out and cleaned them off. Will get some new fuel this week ready for saturday when i can give her a run and clear those cobwebs :d

Looks awesome dude, almost retro styling now! lol

Just need to get the side skirts on and take the fuel cap back to my mate. lol he had it for paint, but was sat in the top of his box and he forgot about it!! Need it for the MOT.

Looks stunning dude.

Very very smart buddy

Great thread, put a lot of sweat and tears into your baby. Am still in early stages of my rebuild, but hope to take the same path as yourself. Hope to add my thread soon!

Yeeeehaaaa.....wooohoooo..etc.

MOT today and she passed. Few issues lol on the way there found out along the dual carrigeway that i only had 4 gears and a seriously high idle!!! Nursed it there in 4th. At 55mph!!

Once at my mates, got it up on the ramp and adjusted the linkage. And sorted the tracking as that was way out.

All sorted. Nope...went to oull out of my mates gargae....in third. lol i now have 1st where reverse should be, no second and now i have 5th. More adjustment needed.

But on the whole, it runs sweet, and once the linkage is sorted let the fun begin.

Pics...

Start them young...
