CG's rebuild thread. PROJECT COMPLETE

Can't be bothered now tbh. I wanted it tested by Weds/Thurs & have a couple days to clock up some miles & sort other stuff out.

The prospect of driving it up the motorway is just not happening right now tbh. I'm not happy with the rear spring rates either. Waaaaay too stiff.

Brakes feel fantastic though.

I'm just happy that it does infact go (and stop) & I have been able to drive it accross town with no nasty issues, so after all this time. Its almost ready.

However I remind myself about the 25 year Nova celebrations & feel gutted again. Can't believe she'll miss it! Grrrrrrr!

gutted for you craig, chin up.

Thats a shame, it would have looked great on the stand. I know you say the word mint is overused on Vauxhall forums, but I think your Nova is certainly deserved of that title.

Tis a shame Craig :(

I do agree with you though in that theres no point rushing the last bits for the sake of a weekend as you've spent so much time and effort prior.

Still, theres Billing to aim for :thumb:

you're running avo's aren't u? u changed the standard ones for higher poundage then? how much?

C'mon craig, you've two days!

Trailer it?

Gutted to hear that you won't be going craig, some much time and effort has gone into it, personally if it was me i'd still try to get it there, have you got breakdown cover?

Craig, It would be MINT if you can get it to PV!

Seriously though I really think you should try and get it to PV being the 25th anniversary. A frame and a protective convoy?

Can those Banzai boyos not help you out?

Anyways look forward to meeting you turnip head dude!

I'd need a minor miracle, tax, MOT & insurance in the next 24 hours..... It aint happenin!

I had it out to adjust up the fr wheel bearings & tighten up a fuel pipe clip.

Took these pics before the wheels get sold tomorrow at PV.
