Awesome write up there.
I love this car, it looks so clean & unique. Major hats off to you for doing it on a budget as & when bits turn up.
In hindsight it must be so much more fun like that than just waving a chequebook at demon tweeks or whoever.
Indeed it is, the only things i've ever bought new for the car are gaskets, and tyres lolQuote:

looking at the pics I'd almost accept a swap with mine...... really is a nice evolution though. The simplest Novas always look the best. A lesson to the fibreglass brigade at how to attract the right attention IMO.
Got two the wheels sprayed up today, colour came out quite well.
Need do the other two this week. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v8...0002Medium.jpg
Also planning on removing the rear interior tomorrow, with the rear carpet etc. Cleaning the sound deadening off the floor and spraying the floor up white. Plan on getting a pair of buckets/harnesses in the future sometime for the front. For now tho, std sr front seats.
Always loved your car ad, credit to you, drop me a line when you come to sell it :P
Cheers Si :)Quote:

I've smoothed the inside of the runners down with 60grit paper, let it nice and smooth, but rough enough so fuel flows through correctly.
Quick pic, compared to cathedral shape inlet-
I guess the round head larger valves make up for smaller port sizes.

Turns out and may be selling all the t40 stuff tho and fitting a 16xe, not decided yet.
mmmm 16XE.
Is the cathedral type to fit a 16SE head type?
Cathedral fits 1200/1300 carb.
Round fits 14se and 16se.
Really tempted sell the lot and fit a 16xe tho, about same power as t40 1400, but good mpg all day long. And a lot of scope for future mods, bike tbs etc...
