Love the single spoke steering wheel, citroën I guess

All that cardboard and glue you just need sticky back plastic and you'll be up for a Blue Peter badge😁

Don't think it' going to win any drag races it's so heavy, takes 2 people to lift it, and yes my wife thinks I should start making more, as if I haven't got enough to do😁

Finally back to the nova, the wife wanted one of those chunky sleeper coffee tables so what better to use than some spare parts,https://i.vgy.me/s4kqc6.jpghttps://i.vgy.me/nI4dCF.jpg the alfa...

If you can't fix it, it's possible to convert a T1 bellows, it does open slightly earlier but not by a significant amount

Just think if you kept everything simple how dull life would be 😁

What are the bearing faces like with all that shrapnel? god knows what's in the oil galleries make sure you really fush them out, also might be worth changing the con rods or at least checking there...

If you want to check the suspect valves, lap them with a fine paste ,if you get a continuous uniform grey finish there ok but any gaps or polished areas point to a bent valve ,also worth checking the...

Really nice installation great detail, the track rod vertical clearance looks very tight with the steering shaft ,I imagine with suspension compression on full lock it gets close

Someone ask me about the rads sometime ago can't remember who but I'll post these pic's considering it's sat around over 20 years it's amazing it's still in one piece

It’s so tight literally millimetres of clearance everywhere just hope my measurements are accurate when the body goes back on

The rack is an Alfasud LHD unit inverted as a RHD rack moves in an incorrect direction due to the sud arms being forward of the axle .Had to get it from Portugal in the end,the beam is s/h had to do...

Thanks Phil

Trial fit of the front beam today, I needed replace the grease seals so decides to make some hybrid by cutting down some urethane bearing/seals retaining the roller bearing and using the urethane as...

Hi Barry this might solve your problem, it looks like a bolt on part, 4602

Mike

You've just got to keep at it, otherwise the longer you leave it the harder it is to start again

Thought I’d do a bit on the front end to make it an easier to move about stripped and painted the front beamhttps://i.vgy.me/Jcoeow.jpghttps://i.vgy.me/v2Uk8P.jpg, and re drilled and tapped the front...
