Last year i was given this.
Then like you do i thought so what shell i do with it.
As ive been into nova's for a wile now the idear of making it in to a track toy popped up so not to trash my red 1 i had at the time.
This had to go
And was then replaced with a 1.6 gte engine as was sold it for £50 all in.
This was having stuff done to it at the same time to keep me going on mine.
Getting there
So this was how it stuck for the first year out were it went very well for some thing that had been bodged together over a week.
Wile at llandow on its first track day it won car in the most spirit of the day which bagged me a brand new set of harnkook tyre's
Then at castle combe action day last september wile chassing a scooby a valve let go and sort of wiped out bore number 3.
So time for a few changes and get it ready for this year.
In the mean time i managed to get hold of a lockup/new car trailer and tow car.
The bad news was that i had to sell the red 1.
So into the lockup i went for the next few evenings every night for a few months to sort thing with the car.
The idear was to make it as light as poss for the lease amount of £. So if it didnt need it it was cut out.
But had the engine bay welded up by me Dad (Thank you)
Then went about building the box of parts i had bought into a engine and get on with fitting it.
Then fitted some painted bits.
new longlife exhaust
And ditched the ignition.
Ive also fitted a set of coilovers.
I got it all ready for the first action day of the year at combe in april but first time out i got to the 3rd corner when it had a little problem and got to watch the rest of the session from the pit wall.
once back to the pits we found the fault. The temp sencer had broke which made the car over fuel and stopped the car.So once sorced a new temp sencer was fitted then went back out and apart from a few oil serge moments went well.
Its just come back from its second trip to combe but this time behaved it's self.
Hope you like it and sorry it dragged on so long.
Here is a link to a vid from a car we went by at combe on the 5th corner as you can see they do go well on track if set up right.
