i post alot of ford stuff up as most of it is like Tonys 313bhp RST and the reyland Cossie

This is about the only really mental Vaux i know of beeing built, should be intresting once completed, so thought i steal the pics to put on here






[QUOTE=Rick Draper]Right here is where the nova is at.

Engine is just at the builder having the piston crowns machined for valve clearence, hopefully i will have it back tomorrow so i can build it up.

Shell is painted and requires rebuilding and panels fitting, currently the rear brakes are fitted but that is about all. Started to fit the roof lining today but it is a slag of a job.

Here are some pics of how it is at the min:







Hope to have the engine back and i place by monday or tuesday at the latest.[/QUOTE]

Whats with the huge wheels? Surely 16's or even 15's would've been more sensible for performance or is this going to be an all rounder?

Looks good though, same colour as my old Nova to

iirc because its running silly power, small wheels arent realy required, also the fact you need something big to fit big brakes behind
