2 good nick used clear indicators and what appears to be brand new clear side repeaters with bulbs

Seeing your reply on Iain's thread.

If your keeping the car long term and doing lots of work. Use the 3m rubberised sealant on the under sides. Then paint it. Its much better and worth the money.

I'll have a look for it when I go to buy the stuff to do it mate :) Cheers

Plus, if you say it's good it must be!

Have some rep if I can

Update time!!!

My mate picked up this Magnex Mk1 backbox for me in Warrington during the week and he got it to me on Friday - Looks superb:

Koni rear shocks fitted and some new -50mm rear springs (No pics as of yet though)

Also dug out my Webers and Irmscher inlet and split them and I'm going to start cleaning them up during the week and get them sent off to be rebuilt/serviced! Can't wait to hear them at full chat:

Comments welcome;

PS - Won a genuine Fearless rear strut brace on eBay earlier today as well so theres another cool part for this Nova :thumb: Hopefully turn up this week coming along with another one of my cool purchases lol Well it's cool to me

Cheers Vaughan

whats the crack with the rear arch being yellow lol Apart from that looks good :thumb:

im nova the moon for you that you managed to get a fearless brace you lucky man.
Mind if i ask how much you got it ?

Loving the yellow running gear aswell.

good progress

The yellow back arch is some primer we done my mates 1600 GTE track Nova with before paint and we tried it on one of my back arches to see how they looked (after being replaced) They look and feel not too bad, a wee bit high in places but I'll sort them out :)

Fearless brace was a steal IMO, PM me if your interested :) The guy knew what he had but didn't put the title properly hence me being the one and only bidder :thumb:

Glad you like the wee yellow bits and pieces

Cheers for the comments

Spent a couple of nights cleaning up my Sport 40's and Irmscher inlet manifold

That's how they started in the pics above - Not too dirty but quite 'old' and stained looking

So out with some thinners and a paintbrush and some elbow grease I got them looking like so; Irmscher Inlet:

Both 40's:

Not going to be painting them as they were never painted originally I don't think so just wanting them to look as original as possible

Can't wait to get them rebuilt and fitted!

Comments welcome,

Cheers Vaughan

Good work on the clean up, they're looking well. Bet you can't wait to have these rebuilt and sorted.
