Re: My Nova's Rebirth

Winter update.

Got the car in the garage to strip the front end ready to work on the engine bay..
So car in the garage,


Front ends now semi striped.

Got this deileverd today.






Not very happy as its ment to be chromed which is doesnt seam to be, just polished and needs a bit of a buff. But can do that.

More tomoz, gonna finish stripping the front ready to get the engine out on sat/sunday.

Re: My Nova's Rebirth

I'd love a let, but sadly have no where near the money ineed to buy one. Again to run the twins i'd need megajoint nd at the mo i cant afford that either.. Basicly i'm screw either way. So for the mo i'll move and reroutewhat iu can then change when i can afford more.

Re: My Nova's Rebirth

Do a few gaskets and clean it up, fit new bits.
Repaint engine bay, smooth and hide more stuff.

Re: My Nova's Rebirth

Don't worry about the inlet too much, very little of it is seen anyway once powercap, afm & induction hose are on

Re: My Nova's Rebirth

That inlet blatantly isnt chromed, though I'd be dubious of anyone saying it would be. It looks nice enough though.

Winter plans sound good dude. Keep us updated.
