Keiths Nova Turbo build

Well folks, just got back with the shell today around 2.30pm. I'm absolutely wrecked and somehow caught an ear infection (nice!)

Anyways, arrived in newcastle with Mark, who had some goodies for me, including the bolts to build up the axel.

Next day we set off for Crewe and fitted the new axel and some old suspension to the car tempory just to get it home. The uprated/nicely painted arms/wishbones etc will go in later.

We set off back to wakefield for the night, and then went back on thursday lunchtime to load the car onto the trailer.

The boat didnt sail from fleetwood until 3am, so we parked up and got the tram to blackpool, went on a few of the rollercoasters including the pepsi max, which is pretty damn cool :D

Now the car's home and in the garage, drying off from the drenching of rain it got back here in NI.

And a quick snap of my now completed rocker cover and plug cover together.

Looks tipety top - the rebuild can start in earnest - I liked this bit on my rebuild - felt like I was finally getting somewhere.

Take it steady - don't rush and if it an'it right then do it again!

Enjoy & good luck

PS Hope the ear gets better soon - not nice!

:eek::eek::eek: Rain :eek::eek: Lol

looks good, not 100% convinced on the colour at the minuet tbh, but sure ones its all built up it'll look loads better.
Have you trial fitted your rad / cooler ? i know your using a custom set up and might not have the same prob but when you move the rad forward to clear the turbo it ends up directly under the bonnet safety catch (mine did anyway) so had to get rid of it (and fit pins) as it was gonna puncture the top of the rad.
Hope it all go's together without to many probs fella.

I just need to shave some excess off the bonnet catch to clear the intercooler. Also need to shave some excess from the slats of the grill, but other than that it should be a straight fit.

Colour wont be everyones cuppa tea. Its a colour that really needs the sun to hit it, or at least some proper daylight, its so dull and overcast now that it'll be a while before we see the true colour.

I'll probably be picking your brain with getting the engine running, pipework etc rich :D

Keith

looking good keith, didn't know that's where ade worked. i'm only just a bout a mile up the road! (could have had a cheeky peek Lol!)
