Edd's Nova Sport

[leggattr]

I thought they always had the non heated bronze in stock, just no good if its a winter car!!

[Edd]

Jeffrey told me they had not long got it in and was the last, maybe they had/got more I'm not completely sure, either way I'm happy it made it here

The car is allergic to winter/damp conditions so heated rear screen ain't needed

[leggattr]

Haha to be honest mine is so old and damaged that its just like a non heated one. Already had the snow/frost test and it failed.

[Edd]

More stuff turning up now I've finished paying for wedding

Got these other day



Full set of new genuine mudflaps as I wasn't happy with the used ones

New wheels ordered, I'm all up for trying something different but I want wider tyres and wheels that fit properly tbh so have admitted defeat with them

Bodywork booked in

R5 GT T2 turbocharger bought

Tubular manifold being sorted

Few weeks it be back on the road all being well with more updates

Nice, I saw them mudflaps, I didn't go for them as there none nova ones, plus I've seen Opel Classic Parts sell the correct ones and there cheap.

Look forward to seeing the updates with the turbo setup.

[Edd]

Need to sort out rebuilding the low comp 1300 bottom end, that's the next main job for the conversion

I'd like to have all the bits sorted over next few months

[SimonTW]

Can you spill the beans on what you are going for wheel wise? Any plans to bring it out to a show this year?

[Graeme]

Good work Edd, I personally never liked the old wheels, hope the new ones are a motor sport derivative, keep the updates coming

[Benn]

Shame your changing the wheels, but undedstandable.

[Edd]

The new wheels are GM, will be painted white with the bodywork to match

I know the wheels on ATM make it stand out but with the 175/50 tyres with 6J I have no confidence to drive to hard

Plus the camber shims on the rear make the rear feel very un nova like so it's all got to go

Zero point in sacrificing handling for looks IMO
