Hey Andy,glad to see you still have the car and are working on her again.
How is things as last time i member you wer going through a few life changes?
Have you spoke to Karl lately,not seen him online or anything for ages,did he go to germany in the end?
Any way mate hope you have a good new year and the car come on flyingly.
Take it easy
Scott
Any progress this weekend mate?
Scott, Yeah things are ok mate, a few things happened as mentioned at the beginning of the thread which resulted in the nova rebuild being delayed.
Spoke to Karl the other day, he is still about but does'nt get on the net too much, he did'nt move to germany this year although he did buy a year pass for the ring and has been over there quite a few times this year.
Keith, Tiny bit of progress, Lisa brought me a bench grinder so i went in the garage the other night and tested it, cleaned up the rear beam and front tca bolts ready for paint, no progress today as i was too tired to get up early as planned and have had a storming headache all day. Hopefully get out and do some tomorrow though..
Andy, Ive just noticed that apparently you joined this forum in 1970! Good going as if my memory serves me correctly, Novas went on sale in 83?
Anyway good luck in the garage tomorrow.
Updated the site with the progress so far, Slow process cleaning and painting everything!! At least there's some stuff on the car now. Wiring is holding me up a little otherwise i could get interior back in and doors and wings on.
Cheers to Craig for popping up this weekend and giving me a hand with the car, Maybe we should'nt of stayed up so late eating curry, drinking and watching Dukes of Hazard (Jessica simpsons ass!!) we might of got some done on it on sunday.. lol
keep up the long work lol i mean good work :) i think nova look good black too:)
Good to hear the build progress has restarted :)
This thing is stunning, cant wait to see it completed & out in the sunshine at a show or 2. Happy to help though I actually did very little. Ive a feeling this thing will have a sexy rear brake caliper (that was me) lol
I'll pop up again soon mate!
Just added a bit of a update to my site, i have made more progress since these pics and will post pictures after tomorrow session in the garage. Taking longer than i had hoped due to other commitments, including work, our MR2 Magazine (www.mr2only.com) and working on and ragging the MR2 Only Project/Track car round Donnington!!
