Yep. Any Nova dash will fit any Nova.
It's just a mk2 dash, so would be a straight swap for a mk2 or a small conversion for a mk1.
Yeah the paint may come off when adjusting the height, I plan to set the correct height and give them a blow over with some more paint to stop them rusting. Many other coilovers (Spax RSX?) come painted down the threads anyway as far as I know.
That is indeed true iain, my RSX's are painted on the threads, id suggest putting copper grease roughly where you want the ride height, might stop it from seizing.
Well the coilovers are finished, just need to remember to copper grease the adjusters before refitting.

Back to the engine for now while I find some grease for the steering rack. Cleaning up the block with engine degreaser and wire wheel on a drill:

Engine is an early 20XE which should hopefully make it easier to MOT without a cat:

Cleaned behind the belt cover and inside the waterpump hole:

Damage from my heavy handed approach at removing the waterpump :( Shouldn't affect the seal of the pump though:

Also dropped off my internals off at Autosprint. Having the flywheel lightened, bottom end balanced and the rod caps modified for ARP bolts:

oi come say hi, when you pick them up seeing as you have to drive past you hobo lol
I'd just run some copper slip over them to stop the rust.
Ok Mr Baxter I'll shout when I'm picking them up, you'd better be no more than a 0.5 mile detour though!
I'll copper slip the final resting place of the mounts when I know the ride height, I applied it to the whole shock last time and if anything it helped them gather dirt and go horrible quicker!
So how early dose the engine have to be to have no number part to the code? as mines from an 89 mk2 Astra 16v and has full code?
Progress looks good, and good choice on using auto sprint.

Was told mine is out of an '89 mk2 Astra GTE too.
Odd... as i know mine came from the car..
When i acquired the car..
