Lynch Brothers Nova Rallycar

Quoted from our local forum.

After 2.5 great years of rallying our Nova rally car, I finally put a nail in the coffin this year at eagles rock hill-climb, when I just clipped a bridge flat in 4th gear at about 95mph.

The only consolation I have is that I still managed to beat my brother (co-owner) by1.3tenths of a second. Ha Ha.

Thanks to Keith, who sold me a shell he had laying around, the rebuild soon began.

i love it when novas get re-built and live on, novas dont die, they just get re-built and made faster.

Good to see its going to be put to good use :)
Some good work gone on there.

Love the phrase ' shell was laying around'.
