I like it mate, I actually thought about colour coding brake lines the other day when I was under the Nova. I'm convinced![]()

Right back to the update...
Ordered these from Vauxhall as mine were melted while being powder coated. 42p each and still stocked.
Fitted, greased, cables on and adjusted (thanks Dan) hand brake now locks up on to clicks. Getting a lovely bedding in sound from the new shoes,discs,pads..
Moved the car out side, started first time, sounds great, no tapping. being that it hasn't been started since early Jan. Very dusty tho..
Then refitted the glove box back up from where we thought the alarm was going mental.. (it wasn't, was a dieing battery)
I fitted a new chromed door catch, after my old one was jamming, plus i had these chromed...
Chromed screws..
Catch fitted,
Door all built up and working smoothly....
Dan helped me fix a small fuel leek from the pump to filter. The braided hose just wouldn't seal. So changed it to a rubber one as a temp job.
Took the car for a test drive, front tracking must be out.. Rear isn't right, but the lightness on the rear end is now totally gone. which makes me very happy.
Using some straight we worked out (very easily) that the rear drivers wheel is very out of line...
Next day, off to get the tracking done... big thanks to Jim, Liam, Euan at Protyre.
On the ramp, trying to get the gauges on.. As it's low they have to mess about setting them at a different angle.
Cheeky underside shot..
Tracking/toe... Right out the other way front where it was.. Great! Euan, thinks it might have been old worn bushes, not un-even hubs..
Now it's got new bushes, the shims have pushed the toe out the other way... So strip the hubs off again, shims out, re test... Aaggghh.

may be a silly question but weres your rear towing eye benn??
That's weird, I thought the handbrake guides were white nylon,
How much was the chroming Benn as I have a bag full of bits to get done but am struggling to find anywhere
Nice ramps at the garage,
Look at the dust on the poor thing,![]()
