Me and my Dad's project Nova!
WE JUNKED THE NOVA AND GOT ANOTHER ONE. I DON'T HAVE PICS YET THOUGH. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS E-MAIL ME AT THUMPERHUMPERS@AOL.COM
Okay this is a 1971 Chevy Nova. It ain't nothin' great but it's been sitting in the woods of Central Pennsylvania for 15+ years. It has a small block 307. Which surprisingly it isn't locked up because it hasn't been ran in 13 years. All of the body trim and pieces are there so this car was a steal for 400 bucks! Okay, good news, we got rid of the snake. So far we've tore out the seats and carpeting, put better tires on it and grinded off some of the puddy. I'll keep everyone updated on what's goin on and i'll try to get pictures of some of the things!
Okay you wanted pictures, you got pictures!!!!!
Now you can see more of the rust. We just got sone tearing the headlight covers off and are working on the grill and front bumper! This is the motor, it could run! This is the passenger's side and you can see some of the rust. This is the rear dash panel, you can see the rust on this and that's nothin that a lil' elbow grease can't rub out. The driver's side quarter panel has a shitty puddy job that the previous owner slapped on. The is the underside of the hood and this can be grinded and patched up. Okay, i made a trip to the junkyard and luckily came across this cowl piece This is the inside of the car and as you can see we've pretty much gutted it out. Everything is gone but the dash which should be next. Here's the picture of the back seat well where the back seat WAS! This is the front fender right in front of the driver's side door which is going to be replaced. This is all of the shit that came out of the trunk and inside! This is a picture of me and my dad(right side of picture) working on taking the fender off. This is the motor without the hood covering it up, kinda shines a 'lil light on the subject. This is the right rear quarter panel/fender, whatever. There is a good bit of rust on the both of them so we're cutting them off and replacing them. All of the tools and some of the interior and exterior parts in there. This is a picture of the rear end piece that we are going to be cutting off and replacing. Another picture of my dad grinding off the wheel well bolts. ANOTHER picture of him doing the same thing. This is a rivvited piece of metal the other owner put on and it doesn't look good at all! This was after we got the wheel wells, bumper, grill, and fenders off. A passenger's side shot of the motor. This is where the heater box was, somebody was living in there. This is a lot of rust just below the front windshield. A driver's side picture of the motor. There's a little bit of rust in the door jams. This is the trunk lid he got and primered we got it at a junkyard luckily for $20.00, NO RUST!! The grill was in really bad shape but he was able to use steel wool and clean it up pretty good. OK UNFORTUNATELY WE HAD TO JUNK THE CAR. My dad picked up another Nova for 1800.00 and this one was just too far gone. We were going to have to replace half of the fire wall, the floor boards, both quarter panels, the floor in the trunk, and the roof was going to need a lot of work. The new Nova is primered black and we're cloning it into an SS. The only thing it needs is floor boards. I will be trying to get more pictures as soon as i get a camera.
