Winter reshell thread/Track car.

[Ernie]

As you all know my track car was built up over a week the first time just to show what can be done when you get your **** in gear.
(Thanks to all that helped with the build)

After useing the car hard for the last 2/3 years i still see no need for a reshell
but the opportunity came the other day to get hold of a nova i sold back in feb this year.
When i found it.



It looked very sorry for it self so knew i had to save it.
Well after a few months i had run out of room so sold it on to tsnovat after i had fitted new windows and shock's/springs and a bloody good clean.

The other day i was speaking to him on the phone when he said that he mite be selling it so a deal was struck up and i went and picked it back up yesterday.
Thank you Tony.


So all thats left to do now is send the payment to Tony on payday and get on with me reshell.
Work should start on it this weekend.
There isnt much wrong with my old shell but im making this one so it can go on the road aswell as track and taking a bit more time on it.
Please leave comments also my old shell should be up for sale in the near futor complete with quick relise bumper and some other bits but nothing that will be needed for the new build pm me if interested.
Bring on the mrk2 massive .
Cheers
Chris.

As if you just found a tidy looking nova in that state poor thing.

She gonna be gettin some serious track abuse next year then methinks, and gonna be on the road aswell, traffic lights grand prix FTW

[Ernie]

No im to old for that .
Its more so i can get to test it out before a track day or you spend most the day fiddling.
An oh yes it is going to get some STICK next year .

[Spudly]

No im to old for that

W/e its nigh on impossible to drive one slowly/normally on the roads, i know from experience as i used to drive like a right c*ck in mine so i sold it on and bought a 1.2.
Ill get another XE when im mature enough to own one but i dont think that will be anytime soon though haha!

what you got planned for the new shell

[Ernie]

(Drop it of to you and Will F to weld up )
Its having all the cage and running gear from the old 1 put into it.
Ive got to get the engine bay prepped first for me dad to do the stitch welding for me.
Ive also got to get a plate fitted were the spare wheel goes as i have a centre exit exhaust. (Dars old system)
