Have a look and see my new topic in the projects section. The black j reg nova will be getting built but going to do the SR first. Thanks for all the comments ect.:thumb:
this nova is now getting done up as the other nova is not as sound as i was told. :mad:
Anyway can someone do a photoshop of the mk2 nova with a sr bumper/grill/wings/lights on it. And painted jamaican yellow with the black along the bottom. I just want to see what it turns out like as i am tempted to convert it into a mk1 sr. Can someone also do the same car but with a gsi kit and all painted black. Both cars with speedlines please. P.S look on earlier pages for pics of this nova.thanks

This is what she last looked like at the weekend. Well i am getting there now. Just need someone handy with a welder. I have got bassicly everything collected up to finish this project. A nice set of gsi skirts, G-Max superport gas struts, 65mm springs all round, weber carb hopefully if deal goes well, digi dash and a nice set of sr retro cool seats! The 1300 sr engine is out the sr (well needs lifted out but that will take 2 mins) and then clean it up and re-build her. I have got a 1.2 head for it going on which will increase compression so in theory should make it go a wee bit quicker. Is this true? I was told it would!:D

it sounds like its going to be a nice tidy nova when its finished, looks like you have plenty of room to work in as well, always a bonus in scotland lol (what with the amazing weather)
yes have lots of room. i have a garage that can store 4 novas with plenty of room spare and a garage across the road i am allowed to use any time with space for 3 novas with a pit which is handy. The weather down here is a joke. we have had rain and wind constant for 2 weeks now. Today we have had snow/sleet all day. Hopefully get lots of nice fresh snow to go and paly in the nova tommorow and have a wee skive from school!
well thats both engines out both cars and ready to be converted. The sr engine is getting cleaned/parts painted over the weekend and hopefully next weekend i can put the sr engine in. i am going to give it a small re-build so what things should i do? the engine makes a quite rattling/chapping noise but seems to go away after warmed up and driven for a while. what could this be? i will be putting new headgasket kit/rocker cover gasket/sump gasket/inlet and outlet manifold gaskets, new oil, coolant, air filter and oil filter, ht leads, spark plugs and distributor. anything else to bare in mind when doing it? i want a good reliable engine!lol.
pics coming soon of tonights progress.
this is a few pics of the sr engine coming out-
