Well I've been busy working away over the past couple of days, and been working on the nova till 11pm tonight trying to get the engine to sit right on solid mounts, what a nightmare!! I will have to get some pics of where I was having problems, although one area was the rear gearbox mount which I've had to enlongate as most people seemed to have done, but my main problem was the front engine mount (drivers side) as it was under far to much pressure when bolted up tight, I need to put a spacer in between the mount and the bracket, will get some pics tomorrow t show this. Massive Thanks to Ernie who I called to get some advice off too, cheers pal:thumb:

Anyway a few pics...

Cleaned & painted the rear beam. Fitted new drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, bearings and fixing kit
