    Default Nova Turbo

    Finally got round to doing some work on the nova today, not sure where its heading yet due to ??? but Im going to see a chap either today or tomorrow about a full respray. Might be taking the engine out as the sump is leaking like feck and want to paint it all up etc

    Todays jobs were, start stripping engine bay and remove wings so as to enable me to rewire the whole loom.

    Ive got some new bits in the post and will be re-polishing the wheels and strut brace etc

    Before we started:





    Then:









    Check out the camber on the wheels That will need sorting!

    Another respray! Lol, the red looks nice and fresh still now.

    What are the plans then, remove engine etc, respray shell, re-fit engine with some polished bits etc?

    Sounds good.
