My Nova 16v Project

[Iain]

pesky house's Wait til you've got kiddies!

Haha think I'll try and avoid that then

No kids, but the house is killing any car projects..

But don't think these effect Olly , he's got the kids/house but lucky for him has a well paid job.

It's the time more than the money I find! Currently preparing the garden to build a garage, then fix up the house exterior, then get back into trackdays!

This is what we expect next time

hehehe why not, would like to see something similar to mine.

It's nice to see this thread is coming to live again. I've always been a fan of your work, it really inspired me! I'm going to keep an eye in here

ExTrEmeOc - awesome Nova - just fantastic, a man after my own heart with nearly everything you've done to it.

I've found myself a shell, although I'm a little out of touch... a H reg MK2, 1.2 SPi petrol is an OK shell isn't it?

Can't even remember if there were any major shells to avoid... my white one was a MK2 I think (K reg) and my champagne was a D reg I think, or F... which I thought was MK1?

[John]

Any nova shell should be fine, as long as it's not got the dreaded rot. The spi engine loom is part of the car loom and takes a bit of unpicking.

[trackdaynova]

Gotcha - cheers John! So a three door H reg would be fine then - I'll go and have a lookie... been in their family for 19 years, so I'm not sure what to expect

[trackdaynova]

Bumder. It has a sunroof.

[Southie]

This not finished yet

Welcome back Olly, looking forward to the build and your photography

I've still got these I bought off you from the group buy you did if you need them... Still unused

Do you think you'd want these Olly?

[trackdaynova]

Maybe! Let me get started first mind

If you can sell them in the meantime, the by all means, do!

[John]

Bumder. It has a sunroof.

is that a mega issue? could be plated over?

[burgo]

Theres a few people who could make a carbon infill panel so it would be lighter than a non sunroof one
