Keiths Nova Turbo Project

[McFall1984]

I remember reading 50+ pages on j44 years ago
Made me but my own
Stunning isn't the word

 

[KeithRobinson]

My word .

Probably the coolest car on here in my eyes.

Thanks Eddie - plenty of epic cars on here, but appreciate the comment!

Awesome! Definitely my favourite long standing build thread.

That wheel colour

Thanks Lyons, had it 14 years this week - mental!

Think the wheel colour was the key to bringing it all together, gotta thank a friend for supplying it!

That colour is fantastic

Thanks Jonny

Love the gloss of this.

My bird loves all things classic, she doesn't mind me bringing home projects and owning several cars, despite driving a daily that half the time isn't fit for purpose and I have to drive her car.

However she hates nova's, I think its time I bring one home and push her over the edge.

Hahahaha She would come around with the right Nova!

Yeah, still have it @Mel - it needs a new Turbo, so I'll sort that later in the year. Getting Married in June, so it's all hands to the pump for that first!

 

[Woodcutter]

Looks amazing!

Loving the pink race harnesses too! Ha!

 

[KeithRobinson]

So now that most of the Niggles are sorted, I dropped the car in with A+ Detailing to have the paint machined and Exo V4 applied.

Really need to get the car to some shows this year - everyday the weathers good I end up on the Jetski instead!

Pretty sure they are standard Nova ones

 

[RoniN]

Shorten Nova mirrors, highly sought after !!!
Cars looking great

Cheers

They are standard mirrors which have been shortened. Those actual mirrors came off a car featured in Max Power in 1996, 1998 and again in 2001. Interesting but useless fact of the day lol!

 

[Gaz86]

I actually remember that feature lol bloody hell

God that’s some restore, looks absolutely pristine in the photos, personally I’m not loving the colour but I appreciate it’s your car and your choice and it is kinda period.

Health to drive.

 

[KeithRobinson]

Out a blast last night!

 

[Lyons]

The wheels are an absolute delight.

 

[KeithRobinson]

The wheels are an absolute delight.

Thanks. The colour changes them enough without having to change the actual wheels.

Still have the GTE. I didn’t build it though, it was an original courtenay built car from the mid 90’s. Just waiting on the turbo coming back from a recon for it

 

[KeithRobinson]
