This will be just like the HT civic build, he will collect parts for the next 5 years, and then sell it all off cheap to buy another project to repeat the cycle on.

H-t civic was built and tore down more times over those 5 years then I care to think about. It ran and drove but did get parted out to fund the nova. Also built a few other  projects during that time.

If the H-T build was any indication 5 - 10 years is my best guess.

The rear is awesome to. They didn't work around the car much. They weren't scared to cut shit up and weld shit in to make it work.

yeah, was reading over a thread on Stevesnova again. he used a DSE front and rear. with mini tubs, etc. looks super solid. shit even with a guy that had never really did a build before he made it look nice with there parts. the front end and tubs have a very OE look to them. but thats over 10k in parts right there (plus brakes/rear end/axles)... more than i think ill ever need, standard front IFS would be fine for the streets, doing burnouts/donuts... i hope.


so, whats up? you buy anything for this yet? i have seen some pics of engines but thats it. you make any plans at least?

I have lots of plans but as you have found out the nova costs$$$$$$$$ to built it they way I want. It's not even something I can pic away at, all or nothing. No big deal, I knew that going in. Right now it runs and drives, looks good so I might as well drive it as is. 
I did order a trans though. Be a bit until that's done i think. I don't have the spare money I once had for car stuff so it takes me longer to build shit.

by worked on it he means that the ethanol in the gas ate away at the carb and be spent 30mins trying to start it before giving up. and now has a reason to swap in L76...  :noel:

or maybe he didnt even get that far cuz the battery was dead, so he put the battery tender on it, AKA: "work". and that is as far as he got...  ::)

Took the passengers side door apart to see why it rattles. The glue between the door skin and the crash bar was miss placed from the factory. I need to clean it up and reattach the two.
I haven't done much, I had two days to myself all summer, my kids kept me very busy this year but that's ok. I have more spare time now but I have lots of things to do. House, truck, nova, you know.
