Had a busy day on Saturday! My mate and I managed to swap gearboxes over, change the engine oil, spark plugs, leads, new discs, pads, brake caliper, new brake fluid and a track rod end!

Not many pictures as we were so busy, but thats all done now, so im pleased

Car up on the ramp ready for work!


Just after we had got the old F15 box from my Corsa engine in the car, unfortunately I no longer have a LSD, as the F13 that was in it had one but its my mates box and I really cant afford one to go in this gearbox


New Box all in!


My mate hard at work lol


New brakes all fitted. Looking forward to giving the car a good clean and painting up the calipers etc again!



Whiped the filter off the TBs and put some carb cleaner down the trumpets to freshen them up.
Must admit it looks better without the filter on


Quick picture of my mates Nova project (been a bare shell for a few years) with my wheel slotted under the arch

Cheers Dan.

Broster, will be good to see that car completed and back to tearing up the roads!

It is a very cool ramp/lift Haimsey, its great that my mate lets me use it otherwise it would be hard doing gearboxes etc!

Kind of bought some new wheels for the Nova

My mate put them for sale, I saw them and fell in love, so after scraping the money togeather I got them bought! So my old BBS wheels are now in the For Sale section

Got the track tyres swapped over today and took some pictures. Will try them on at some point and get some pics.

Anyway, heres some pictures below. There rare wheels now as Speedline dont make them any more and the best part is they are brand new and never fitted

Did a few things today. Just some finishing touches aswell as trying the new wheels on and a bit of a polishing and caliper painting!

All thats left is to sort some of the electrics and get it ready for an MOT in a few weeks time and get it on the road after a year off

A few pictures for you









After a good polish and clean up








Painted calipers and drums
