When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
yep all in and done for pv,Originally Posted by Ian Gsi16v
is that worth it?
havent really got the money...xe is fast enough...more power would be fun,but not really needed..
I'm louder than gods own revolver and twice as shiney.
Lapping the valves and stem seals whilst the engine is out would be well worth it Benn.
The seals were the cause of my oil use before I did them on my new head.
Up to you of course.

Benn without wanting to sound sensible, if you're having the lump out anyway would it not make sense to fit it up with a set of carb's as planned (40's will work if you have them jetted properly, just won't make as much power as on 45's...) and do the small bit of wiring needed nice and tidy as it all goes back in...
I vote silver for box and bottom end, hand polish the outside of the head as much as you can - use a dremel etc to set it super smoothWould look sweeeeeeeeeeeet.
I think AL is talking some sense there. Stick the 40s on so everything is in place then it will be an easy swap to 45s surely?
And oh, don't be so cheeky! Respect your elders

Update.............................
engine wise,
sorted out sump gaskets and seals and bits,
cluch in the garage waiting,flywheel off getting lightened and bal,
Gear box all painted up in a nice bright silver...
was gonna polish it..but after looking at all the small bits i thought no..i wouldnt have the time,and the boys at the polishers said it would be hard getting in the small bits, so silver with polished bits it is...
Started stripping the car...as it was running a lil poo after a small fire
Bonnet off lights out,wiring loom out..
perfect place to store stuff...
Bit dirty under there...needed a tart up...so...
Before...
After...
But should i do the front arches like it??
gonna carry on in a bit....
And lastly my newly tinted in kandy red light....
not sure onthe fully clear bits..might need a light smoking...what do you think?

Liking the gearbox all painted,
prefer the light on the right as opposed ot the other one.
And that has to be about the only Nova Ive seen in a while with the front end off an no rust :P
Couldn't think of anything good to put in here.

nice advert for sikaflex that bottom photo.
Selling - PC and lots of meg's cleaning stuff, random z18(xe / xer) and z16(xe / xep) parts.
Cool stuff mate, very cool.
I'd do the arches black or grey like your bumpers.
Lets hope these carbs can get on there for PV!
Simps.

i might have a spare tube....
and yeah a small wiring fire....behind the dash....panic? yes i did!
the roof light wiring rubed thru...got a lil warm...and caught light behind the fuse box...
so panicing as you do....i put it out with the hose.
