My version of a 4x4 nova that will get done!

I think you need to step away from the proplus and coffee mate lol
do you ever sleep?

I like the approach to the engine mount, rather that just holding the engine up it also stabilizes it ( my spelling is poor :( )

sleeps for normal people i just rest when my body say no more lol

in regards to the mount it was another case of now i have the forward facing part on do i add another part or not do i dont i ? yeah sod it everything else is over engineered why not lol

theres one important thing about the build and its always the first thing and the last thing on my mind with every last bit of the build

ok that will do the job at 200 bhp and ocasional blasts
but will it be reliable again and again and again at 500 poneys and nothing but constant hammering.
If the anwser is no then it either gets done again or beefed up until im happy!

when this thing is dead and rotting i want what i have added to still be in one piece long after the original nova shell has rotted from under it!

mate of mine has hit the nail on the head realy

designed like a volvo built like a westfield and going to get driven like a nova!

'dis iz gonna be da best Nova eva' 'your da best welda eva' ect ... !! lol
Theres not many folk have access to all the gear, and alot of folk can do a hell of a lot with a grinder and welder, i'm sure he's thought it all thru but you never know, a few folk questioning him might help him along the way with a few things.

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Credit to the guy for having ago, very interested in seeing the finished product.:thumb:

looking good ste. are you plating the under side or just leaving the bar's showing if you get me

yea ok ste we get it, your a good welder, no need to keep showing off lol just kidding mate :), i love welding proper metal like that, looks great cant wait to see it finished, keep up the good work feller

Hi Steve
How are you getting on with the 4x4 nova, I have been building one for the last 10years from a nova sport I bout when I was a kid. Am finally getting paint on it this weekend. all the welding done finished shell blasted and primed,
I guess about another year and it should be good to go..

I am looking for some very early nova bumpers (sport type) for it, any ideas where i can get some??

looking good ste,some cracking work going on,will be one quality nova when done,keep up the good work,will be keeping a good eye on this

sorry i do know theyre not being negative, and i know theyre only trying to help, just the same question keeps getting repeated, if they all read the thread they wouldnt have to ask again and again.
