This Nova is amazing as it is, going to be an absolute animal when you are finished 😂 hopefully see some 4x4 drifts when its completed 😂 amazing work as always 👌😎
Loving your work, Dan. I like the idea of keeping it within the standard Nova track width, and I like how you've modified the suspension arms to make them narrower 👍 your giving me silly ideas involving a certain diesel powered Nova 😆
All over this build! Yes the standard Vauxhall 4x4 system isn't the greatest, but as you've said the main issue is the TXB. I had a GSI2000 with a LET conversion running around 280 and it was totally fine once I got a Mike Hayward kit and that included plenty of hard launches. Also got a genuine Cav Turbo now running mostly standard power on the original setup but if it does fail I'll just go down the locked box route again. They aint as bad as people made out through the years. Looking forward to the progress videos Dan.
Omg. I saw your post on an fb page I follow. I would have never found this channel. Great stuff. Nice to see something different for a change. Never owned an opel. But i really dig those cars. Always wanted an ascona
@ Im from Latvia. Sadly most of old opels are almost completely gone. Rusted away. My uncle owned vectra a. Man that vectra was a solid car. That c20ne was a tank of an engine. The body gave out and rotted away to a point it was not worth welding anymore.
@11guyinthechair sadly it's the same in the UK, a lot of Novas or Corsa were used for budget grass racing, and were killed off like that. I agree the old 2.0 engines were great.
Such an underrated channel. Impressive project mate. Envious of your skills. I would subscribe but I already do! My first car was a Nova Mistral. Loved that car. Had it 3 years and cost me nothing in repairs.
Love this! Have a Calibra Turbo myself which I'm also aiming at around 400bhp when done, don't have to go mental. Gonna go with a locked tbx here as well :)
@@DanielBall They are sweet cars! Have blasted mine around Europe and the Nurburgring as well as up in the north of Norway and Sweden...it's a sweet GT car 😎👌
You mentioned a carbon roof. What are you thinking of using as the template? I have a brand new GM (not a copy) roof skin non sunroof I’ve had probably 15yrs at mum & dad’s house. If you need to borrow I’m sure we can sort something.
You build YOUR car how YOU want it, were here to watch, Cuppa to hand 😁✌
Thank you, hope you enjoy 😊
I loved my Nova - a 1.2 'Star' 🙂 Can't wait to see more progress on yours 👍
☺️

Thank you, don't worry, it's going to be driven properly once done. It will look nice, but I won't be scared of getting it dirty!
Have to say you make it look easy.. some great fab work there loving it . Looking forward to your next video
Thank you so much
So impressed, I've watched twice so far 👍🏻 Looking forward to the next installment.
Thank you so much ☺️

Thanks Sam, appreciate it. 4x4 diesel would be awesome 😎
Been waiting on this one, great project. Really like that it's being kept all Vauxhall and keeping standard width. Can't wait for more. 👍
Thank you so much 😊🙏🏻

That's really nice to hear, which country are you from? I like asconas too 😊

Looking forward to this series, such a knowledgeable guy.
Thank you, really appreciate your kind words.
@@DanielBall Been a Vauxhall nut forever and this channel right up my street! Would love to see the finished article when you’re done
@@mikeprice8500 it will definitely be out and about at a few shows once done. And I am hoping it will do a few runs at Santa pod too. 😊
@@DanielBall one thing I didn’t get to do with my Corsa B Turbo was run up pod. Was 300bhp at the wheels and was a weapon and total Vauxhall cover car
@mikeprice8500 that's a shame you never did it, they feel so quick there if you can get them to grip off the line. Mine with slicks hooked up so well!
Wow awesome stuff mate. Those impressions were class too 😁. Looking forward to seeing the progress on this.
Thanks mate, appreciate it. It's all in hand, just taking it's time 😊

Cheers pal 😊
This is awesome , quality video mate ,
Thanks mate 😊
Had a Nova SR for my first car so have a soft spot for these. Looking forward to seeing the updates
I think a lot of people did back in the day. My first Nova was an SX. A very common car once upon a time. Thank you.
@@DanielBall How about using a Frontera rear axel converted to IRS... ??
@kylereese4822 there solid, have drums, the wrong stuff pattern, the wrong ratio. Nothing like, and too wide obviously.
Great one mate I’m doing mine
4x4ing it?
@@DanielBall oh yes want to use the 4x4 f20 box got everything but the front transfer box
Sadly they are pretty rare now!
I shall keep my eye on this 👍
Thank you 😊
ive got a mk2 astra gte running a fully forged 20xej with a stock Evo 9 80 series turbo good for 400+ bhp. cheap option for turbocharging a "redtop"
Sounds awesome that 😀
Love this! Have a Calibra Turbo myself which I'm also aiming at around 400bhp when done, don't have to go mental. Gonna go with a locked tbx here as well :)
Thank you, I always wanted a calibra turbo back in the day. Still yet to have one on the road.
@@DanielBall They are sweet cars! Have blasted mine around Europe and the Nurburgring as well as up in the north of Norway and Sweden...it's a sweet GT car 😎👌
@@DanielBall Your Nova is gonna rock though! 😎👌
@Calibran sounds awesome! 😎
Yep you're right......we all love an Evo, just buy one 🤣🤣🤣
I would rather have an R8 😉

Thank you, this is very kind of you but I have a second hand skin I am going to use. 😊
