While the Nova have been at my other half's parents due to my parents moving to thier new house, I cracked on with putting the engine back together.
Including some painted bits (oil pressure gauge), big valve head, cam and of course the Twins of 40! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3c612ed804.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a087086c4c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7d64223580.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...378f6277de.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...413d826a2d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...4b6a6ea92b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e6fa759d41.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...1403aee611.jpg

Good work that. Block looks good
Cheers bud.
Just about to order cambelt cover, cambelt and water pump and a new clutch.
Then look at the gearbox... I'm not sure if it's got any oil in it...[emoji51][emoji1787]

Filters are for wusses
looks a great build
So update time.
Engine has built up, new cambelt, water pump, gaskets the lot.
Decided to give the cam cover something different to give a nod back to what the car is. Decal reproduced by a mate and sent over to Underwraps in Norwich.
Add to that the red stainless bolts as well.
Also bought a fuel pump, pressure regulator and oil catch can.
What I didn't know was I needed to lower the Alternator, so new bracket for that and bought a rose jointed turnbuckle to help adjust the aux belt.
Did a bit of CAD work for the catch can. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...44696391f3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...134feb825f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...0e28f9a51f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...f5a1ccc6cc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...7d499280d3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2aa129da46.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b294ff25e0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...3588d10a7f.jpg

From the CAD, I asked one of the guys at work to get a couple of strips cut to start making a bracket.
Not bad for a DIY bracket, just needs painting white and it may need a support at the back. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ac953b8c95.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d107c6f14b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9f46cec5ad.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...54e8ea0813.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a437d759cc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e403124516.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8987ce59c0.jpg

It isn't a Nova if it hasn't got a roll cage or sound system. With this not really ever going to be a track car and after finding my other half's old Kicker Sub, operation BOOM BOOM was a go. I went with a false floor option and really makes the boot look a lot neater.
And to bring it up to date, the Alpine ezi-dab-go unit, now all 3 cars in the fleet have DAB, the Focus since a LED light conversion drops out when I brake, the Golf just has crap reception whereas the Nova as probably the best dab out of the lot. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...119abeeb4d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...18f07751d0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...88fd7d014e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...e6780c46ad.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ee973c1c3d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ff85bc1c5f.jpg
