    Well all went tits up, block is fubared mixed all oil and water in about 10-15 mins and pushed it out the header tank, so to make myself feel better, work has begun on the Nova's timely engine conversion. We did a shufty moving the cars around to get the nova at the back of my mate's (Simon) drive and once we'd finished we got bored so... pics...

    First time the R19 track car has seen a road in a while , and the last time the Nova will for a while:





    Sneaky pic i think its so good looking!



    Nova in its new home tucked away nicely



    Ginge and Simon ars**ng about



    Where they sit now (the cars i mean )



    And shortly after boredom set in



    Plan is to put the VXR engine in place next weekend on an 'F' gearbox to get the position and level, then Ginge can measure up for the O/S engine mount and mock one up at work.
