ok, thanks. will try that.
not done anything to the nova lately but i will be starting to put the complete front panel on next weekend. Is it ok to take the radiator out and leave it out for 2 weeks or should it keep it in all the time? It wont be started with no radiator in it, she will just be sitting still in a dry garage. Also is there any chance of it starting to rust with in a few weeks of welding it up?
its ok to leave the car with the radiator off, just dont start it, cause it will probebly over heat, also when re fitting it be carefull to bleed the system, to ensure there is no air in the system, when you have welded it up, let the welds cool, and give them a spray of primer, this will keep the rust at bay, until you do it properly.
well eventually got my front panel today. I got a crossmember with it. I am not bothered as i was going to weld a new one in anyway. Just need to get the old man to get into the garage and start welding.lol.
done a wee bit to the nova today. i took the radiator out and all the pipes, and done more cutting and grinding to get the old front panel off. I am considering taking the engine out now as it will probably be a pain to weld the crossmember in etc. I also could do with welding the seam along the chassis legs. It would be good if the engine was out then i could convert it to a 1400sr and paint the engine bay.lol
What do you guys think? I want to have it minted so its probably a good idea. Will insurance be expensive when i am 17 to have a 1300/1400 sr conversion. I will be putting the insurance through my dad. Any idea how much it will cost roughly?
as said on scottishnovas its a nice little project mate, as for the insurance through ur dads name, first car, mods etc etc..... i would have thought about the ?800-?1000 mark tpft,
do u have any pics of the inside of the boot, battery tray etc
looks clean enough on the out side tho :thumb:
the engine is coming out tommorow and it will be getting a seam welded bay. Also it will all get nicely painted black. I will get more pictures of the inside of arches/boot and battery tray ect soon. Will update my progress tommorow sometime.
what wheels are these? what car did the come off originally? I would like these on my nova.
