Lee has done a superb job of the Nova already and I only dropped it off Saturday, pretty much all wired up, got a F13 box on there now so I can run a speedo properly and will have slightly improved accleration.

Brakes are pretty much on, need to have to new bottom arms fitted and a drivers side hub but hes sorting that out.

Just a couple of wires to wire up, fit the exhaust and plumb the fuel lines and tank in and she'll be ready

Most probably. I expect the DVLA to laugh at the F13 gearbox.

He doesn't wear anything else these days - it's what he feels comfortable in.

Na, the plastic cover is coming off, prefer the look with it off.

Gonna be so much faster than my old Corsa GSi due to the lightness of the Nova compared with the Corsa.

Be intresting to see what 1/4 mile times it runs as standard.

No, its a X16XE, you have the C16XE. Both were in the Corsa GSi and the X16XE was in the laster 1.6 16v Sports.
