Had a quote for nova fully comp with 2.0 engine fully declared £132 for year. :d
Bloody hell that's cheap.
Paypal sorted my refund for the missing throttle body parts. Full 500 quid refund well chuffed.
Last shift at Prodrive tonight...
2 weeks in America then 5 months work in Stuttgart building Porsche LMP1 cars.
I thought the guy was sending the missing parts? Good that you got a refund if not though!Quote:

Thats what I thought, I had to ask twice lol and when I added non standard wheels and suspension the price didn't alter either lol it was through rh insurance on a classic policy and in 29, they said on classic policy they don't take no claims into account and you don't build them, but this is a second car anyway.Quote:

Now I had been thinking of getting a new rear bumper for some time because it was dented and the paint was cracked. Now his insurance is going to pay me a freshly painted new rear bumper. Happy days. :d

actually spending a day mucking about with my nova........i'm fitting a new tank & pump, and decided as it was shyte weather that trailering it to the yard would be a good idea. hopefully tomorrow i'll actually have it running again.... oh & the yard has a 1/2 mile drive for testing it...
Finaly got some motivation and got the nova engine bay in high built primer
did lots of nova related tinkering.... its not running yet, but the improvements will be worth it
Cleared the garage up.
Moved the nova over,
Jacked it up, wheel off ready for a gearbox removal.
2 hours in the gym.
Now knackered and happy.
How come you taking box off benn?
Getting home to a delivery of 22.5kgs of raw meat for the dogs. Not bad going for just shy of 40 quid and it will last a month
Pay rise :)
Hitting the gym for 2 hours after work and the misses saying shes having friends round so can i go in the garage to give them some space. Win Win
Get them bummed.thats win win.
Crunches like anything into 2nd gear. Dont think it's the best box either.Quote:
