DHdev WIP thread (56k No!, lol)

[dhdev (Oli)]

If its a nova your looking for your old one is still sitting in my garage untouched since i bought it from you!!!

The blue shell? That's a shame Did you run out of enthusiasm/money?

I'm after a quick fix though tbh, not looking for a mega project, just a donor car that I can drop the lump into. There are a couple of interesting one's on AT at the moment.

Sooooo, I still have the engine.

Time to find a car to put it in...

YAY! would be very cool to have one of the original small block crew back in the fold, brands hatch when you get it sorted?(and if mine isn't in bits at the time, obv...)

Oli, I have a corsa sport here, I want the engine out of it for my loon project, if you come round with a crane and help me liberate it of its parts you can have the shell for your time and help removing the engine etc?
Let me know..

Be nice to see it get used instead of crushed.

Cheers for the offer Scott! What will remain? i.e how much are you removing?

[scott.parker]

I need the engine loom, ecu key fob security parts, and the fuel lines/wires for pump and pump etc
The shell is complete it still has a dash but no seats at all, Ive borrowed the front brakes for my nova, but i do have a 288mm setup im selling.

Pm me if you want to have chat, or pop over to see it etc.

Soooo I have returned to the Nova fold, purchased an unmolested F-plate 1.3SR with 51,000miles on the clock, pretty much rust free (some surface and slight bubbling on arch edges, but boot floor, bottoms of doors/wings, battery tray, front panel all solid)
Unsure whether to leave as is and just drive it, or to fit the throttle bodied 1.6 16v engine into it

Pics will follow after a wash tonight

[M Sutton]

Sounds good! Looking forward to some pictures!

[scott.parker]

Lol you serious?
If so we need to badger Neil into pulling his finger out on the silver gsi.

[Benn]

Why not have the TB'ed 1.6 in a nice non stripped and tracked shell? Best of both then...

[Southie]

Bloody hell Oli with an "i" back in a Nova, there's chance that one day I'll get another then if you've bought one

Looking forward to the updates
