i would like a set of white multispoke wheels for it or those astra gsi wheels. if i can get cesaro's i will get them. Anyway i am not looking for wheels just now as that will be one of the last things i am doing. need to get her welded first.lol
i have a to-do list! this is a few things i have though of that i would like to do before summer next year.
weld front panel on
full re-spray in shiny black,
Digi dash fitted,
GSI interior,
GSI kit fitted and colour coded,
my spax shockers/60mm springs on the front,
anti roll bar fitted,
basebox fitted,
gsi steering wheel fitted,
new handbrake cable etc,
new ball joints and track rod ends,
new wheel bearings,
The 1.2 engine will be getting kept in it for just now as it has done loads of miles and doesnt have much life left i dont think. It needs a new headgasket but i am just going to run it til it dies. I will source a 1300/1400 sr engine and have that spare. I am hoping to have a fast road cam and a set of twin 40's. Cant wait til the front end is all welded. After that i can get on with loads of other things.
hehe well, it should be a very good project to finish off to be honest!! good luck with it all!
well here is a small update. The 1.2 engine is half way out, only sitting in by two engine mounts and the drive shafts.lol.
I have bought a 1300 8v SR Nova that will be getting stripped. I have decided the engine is coming out of that and going in the black project car. I have no idea what i am going to do with the SR shell yet though. It is going to sit in my garage untill i need it or have a good plan. I wanted to build it into a rally car but it has a sunroof.:(
The SR interior will also be going in the black nova. Will take pics over the weekend.

i know that the SR engine will fit straight into the 1.2 carbed nova but what do i do with the gears/gear linkage as the engine was only a 4 speed. The SR is a 5 speed. I also heard that you have to wire up a different coil or something what do you do with the coil? What wires need changed/put in?? also do i not need the choke cable? If someone could give me as much info as possible it will be much appreciated.
Greg
best thing to do is have both cars side by side if possible, and swop the buits from the sr into the 1.2 mate, its pretty straight forward, just use the 5 speed box, but the 4 speed will be faster take off, but loose some top speed. i will pm you latter about our deal, got to go out now mate.
done a fair bit of work to the nova today. I have stripped the front end/wiring loom more and the engine and box is now out. I have bought a donor car (nova 1300 sr).
The engine and gearbox out the sr will be going in with a set of sport 40's and a fast road cam. The interior out the sr is going in the project car and also the g-max struts and 60mm springs for the front. Then the sr shell is getting welded up and painted and a 1600 gte engine dropped in and make it a gte look alike. Thats the plan anyway. The main thing is to get the black mk2 finished first though!lol
some pics of todays progress-
