Nice. Though I did particularly like the OE look of the silver/red combo on the engine. A minor detail.

All this LET porn really makes me want to set fire to the old BX I use as a daily... but I can't because my Nova's are nowhere near driveable. Bugger. :p
Love your car Keith, I think you've earned yourself a spot in modded motoring history. :thumb::thumb::thumb:
Cheers Niek! You need a project thread for your Nova ;-)
Lovely :thumb:
i just wanted to say i.. well ok im jealous of the way your just using this all over the place, and its doing the bizz where ever you go..
mostly see it all on facebook..
i hope that ill be able to get such enjoyment out of mine one day
open face helmets FTW. Can't see the Stig's smile! :dQuote:

Cheers, I use it all the time, Even had it out a run today! I've decided just to use it as much as possible. It can always be rebuilt when it gets tired looking :thumb:Quote:

Rained for about 800 miles of the trip LOL
Oh that sucks. Getting lots of driving in before wrapping it up for the winter?
Of course, was out all day today in it also :)
Good man, enjoy it while its nice.. Have fun using it.
Nice to see it getting used:thumb:
looks mint keith had a good look at it at billing and i have got to say you have built a master piece its stunning mate
Thanks mate :)
did you get my pm mate all i want to no is how much did it set you back to get the shell dipped and coated and then how much did it set you back to have ade paint it just cause i have just got hold of a 10k mile mk2 lagoon blue like your old ndz and i was planning doing that basicly the same as ndz going tyo have the shell dipped and painted after billing next year then start building it to the same standard as your keith
hartley - instead of building a nova that looks like keiths old one why not be completly different?
its not going to be exactly the same just the colour lagoon blue just cause i like it
It's not easy to be different with a Nova, my old shell is a rallycar, so I wouldnt mind in the slightest if a simaliar car was built.
This Nova turbo is almost identical in looks, bar the bootlid and wing mirrors and a few other minor details. It's the Colour that set it apart!
fair play hartley
i was going to paint my next shell arden blue
Nearly half the novas u see have speedlines and a gsi kit on so theres only the colour thats differant and keith your colour is one of a kind on a nova mate
totally stunning! no other words for it Keith
The snow has finally thawed and I was out looking at the Nova today, itching to get it out in the spring!!
Any updates on the wobble?
The poor thing it must be suffocating in there lolQuote:

It's tucked away in the Carcoon, when the weathers better i'm going to change the inner shaft on the equal length setup and hope that cures it! :thumb:Quote:

Firstly the turbo smokes on idle (again), so it's being removed and sent for another refurb .
Secondly, I had traced the steering vibration to the equal length c.v. Due to a worn dummy shaft. I replaced it with a normal big block long shaft, but it's turned out to be totally bent! I'm now waiting on a new shaft from LMF.
Going to strip the front end tonight, I'll do a little cleaning while I'm at it.
Will update with photos when I can (hard at the mo as I'm waiting for broadband to be installed)
Keith :thumb:
Great to hear its out and about again! Any sign of post?
Nick.
Good Friday today and bank holiday Monday so it'll most likely be Tuesday :-)
Sorry pal I know you wanted it for sunday........ weds was the earliest I had chance or It would have gone sooner. Hope its worth the wait. :)Quote:
