Its wet, so no
Its wet, so no
nope none at the moment, the 18ft wooden racing/sailing boat I restored last year is sat back in the main part of the barn at work. I have to give it a once over for the new race season comprising of respray and a few tweeks and additions to make it abit faster. So that has priority and the nova is tucked away awaiting freshening up for the new season still.
The perks of it solely being a toy i suppose
okkkkk............ better bump this in prep for some updates over the coming weeks, they will be slow and scattered due to weekends only but gotta start somewhere after all this time
Good to see this coming back out. The last time I saw it was at billing a few years ago.
Ok so here we are, a chance to get back to the car and actually put a spanner to it for the first time in almost 4 years.....
I was quite pleased to be honest, I haven't been near a spanner or a nova in all that time. From driving the car out of the barn/ driving it in the right way round to having the engine on an engine stand and the car rolling again took me 2 hours, working on my own and taking care not to damage anything. Now its just a case of sorting the sump gasket once and for all, changing the tappets and getting the gearbox refreshed. Biggest hurdle is going to be finding someone to do the box as I probably need the synchros doing, the diff serviced and the 5th gear changed to a better one
Here we go again

Awaiting some simple work
Well, aside from the diff service, the rest you and I can diy
Im sure you are more than capable of servicing the gearbox and diff yourselves very simple
Its a gripper plate diff, I'm not pulling that apart
Nice too see this again. 3/4yrs has flown. Plans for it matey?
just as well bump this as some work will be starting in a few weeks ( it may even get its first MOT ) Not bad going if we can pull it off as it has only done 2 trackdays since we completed the build in 2009
