Nova XE Full Restore, throttle bodies etc
bit of a mini-restoration at the moment, basically re-undersealing it and refreshing alot of the underside of the car which isn't really seen and basically checking it wasn't completley rotten before it fit new panels etc. Also including pictures of the replacement of the cross-member which i actually did around 2yrs ago. (and was fully documented on a previous thread)
8yrs of XE punishment certainly took its toll on the original crossmember and basically sheared it at the tie bar bracket. A strengthened and powder-coated (to seal the inside and stop rusting from the inside-out) replacement is now inplace along with a new set of avo's to replace the old ones which were 8yrs old and didn't have rear height adjustment.
extra strengthening, don't want it happening again!
that all seems like ages ago now!
Also in the middle of a restoration at the moment!
cant buy splash guards anymore so made my own!
bought a rollcage but for sale
a pretty rare set of opel badged cavy gsi wheels for winter etc
set of 4pots... (which may also get sold on)
a set of jenvey "direct to head" throttle bodies, over-sized stainless steel manifold, lairy cams with vernier pulleys, ARP con-rod bolts, heated windscreen and a quaiffe ATB Diff.
also have 2 brand new GM doors (still in stickers and bubblewrap!) 2 full size GM rear quarters, 2 GM wings and a tailgate!
better be f*ckin worth it! lmao
