Talk about make me want to come up there! When yours going to be on the road then?
Your going to have to dodge all the pot holes i remember up there.
Is that 1.3 from a astra or somthing? Rad hoses look like it came from a truck lol
Was just thinking about droping you a pm, im in need of some bits, but im short cash again!
I need it on the road asap as my van has finally died, leaving me funked for transport :(
lol @ the pot hole comment, its a 100x worse now. Took me 10 mins to get the nova off the farm when i last took it out.
Just inquired and the the engine was taken from a cav, not an original 1.3sr lump.
Thought it was somthing big.
When my brother came up last time, he said that the potholes knocked out the radio and made a mess of the cleaning stuff i had in the boot.
Good to see there's some updates in the other Novas aswell. Finally you took them out of the pigeon hole...lol
About the main Nova, any updates at the time?
Cheers
Awsome build thread. Lotta hard work and effort been put in there. Although i dont normally care much for two-tone i think the colour of this looks awsome!:thumb:
Fitted the new oil pump last night, just need to do the oil and filter before i can run it again.
Going to push to get it insured tonight and mot'd tomorrow, ready for tax on monday maybe saturday if the cover note turns up :D
Im into day 3 of having no transport........ I can't take much more lol
Small update...... nothing really pic worthy.....
Its running again.... no knocks :D Just need to wire up the horn, sort the window washer, fit the rear number plate and new nearside headlight and its ready for an mot.
Heres a few pics of the relocated side lights

Hopefully it should sail through but going on my luck so far with the build it will fail miserably lol
lol Whens the Mot? If it fails it will be somthing small........ you hope lol
lol Should be going about lunch time if all goes to plan.
Cross your fingers the MOT'ers can see the indicators flashing while the side lights are on!
Hope it goes well.

Cheers mate, just got to put the rear no plate on and its good to go. Starting to get a bit nervous lol will be its longest journey for 3 years.
The side lights should be ok, had them there last time it was on the road. Can see the indicators fine :thumb:
Im hoping to get the tax tomorrow morning and spend the day driving here, there and everywhere lol
I had my indicators sidelights doubled into the indicators on two of my old novas and both were fine come mot time, btw did you put your carbon scuttle panel back on?
If you did i hope you covered the battery terminals bud:thumb:
Ah cool, just a thought, some MOT'ers can be so f'ing anul!
Well im pleased to say it passed, not one advisory either :D Just waiting on the insurance cover note before i can tax it.
Nice one,glad to here it mate.
Cheers scott, can't wait untill its taxed lol Well i've waited this long another day or two wont hurt i guess.
Fit some smaller wheels and lower it.
MOT tester gonna have a good night down the pub then? lol
Must feel good to finally be back on the road!
lol yeah feels good to drive something thats capable of overtaking.
I'd like to get a ride in it. Must be superbly amazing.
Waiting for good news there.
Cheers
what Mot tester did you use? i nearly said before about my local, used him so many times i get a discount lol
Il have to keep an eye out for this floating about, im up there a lot at the mo.
Took it to hunsdon garage just down the road from the yard. Good ol'boys!
May even stray up your neck of the woods at some point.
Woo, if only you had it on the road last week, now im working like crap!
Its leagal again :D Shame its pissing down with rain........ typical lol
very nice!!!
What is the ride like on those rims? i'm going for the same size and wondering how bad its going to be. lol Also what profile tyres are you running?
By the way car looks gorgeous :thumb:
Cheers matey, i'd say not very comforable is the nicest way of putting it lol Im running 215/35/18s
nice motor see the avatar and thought it looked like a chav nova. but after reading the thead and seeing the pics its not and i think everythink you have done suits the nova nice one.
lol Cheers mate, i can see a change of avatar in the very near future...........
By the way, Kev, i saw you in the other day exiting the Sainsbury's park at more or less 9 in the evening. I gave way to you in that moment.
This is just to say 2 things: 1st, your Nova is fantastic and 2nd, i grab a Cavalier Mk3 SRI in gold for a tenner (:) )
Keep it up, m8.
Well the time finally came to get rid of the install. Had it with no rear seats for a few years now & seeing as i've got a little man due in march i thought it would be best to pull my finger out and get the interior back in (i think the other half will prefer if he's strapped in lol)
Since i've had it back on the road i've hardly listen to the sterio so it seemed a bit stupid to be carrying all that extra weight for nothing.
Anywho got busy last night ripping it all out.... This is how it looked before i started

Cheers for looking
Kev
Problery be a little bit quicker now lol
Gsi door cards and some arch carpets!
I hope so, it doesn't rub at all now...... which is a result. I've got the arch carpets, planning to dye them black.
Got your bonnet then? :D
Yer, I didnt realise it was you lot untill my brother pointed it out lol Wont get put on the car before xmas though, January the whole front end should get sprayed.:thumb:
Ha ha, i saw the nova driving up the track.... looking good. I want your gsi badge! lol
lol That was somthing from struge. Saw it? bloody hell you can hear it at the min, zorst is blowing.
Didn't sound too bad when it drove off. You should of heard my old escort van..... now that had a exhaust blow....... mainly due to the lack of exhaust lol
Engine bay looks :cool:
Good to hear its all sorted too :)
lol @ no exhaust. Like you say mines not too bad, still annoying but havnt had chance to sort it. Let us know if you ever want extra help :roll: :p
Cheers Adam, it still needs a bit of tidying and is a pig to keep clean lol
