Hi everyone,
Just got wind of this site from lateral-g.net and I have to say i'm impressed. I havn't really come across a Nova site with this much info and as many frequent updates. Nice job!
I'm living in Columbus Ohio, after moving from the UK about 2 and a half years ago and have had my Nova for almost a year. No major changes since i bought it, mostly tinkering and getting it reliable as it's my daily driver. Its about to get a re-paint as it took a mild hit last winter from a Range Rover going too fast in the snow.
Its a 350 with a TH350 tranny, stock springs and 10 bolt, all the usual stuff, nothing too crazy (yet).
I'm also making a move out to California in October to start the Collision/refinishing, hot rod fab courses Wyotech Sacramento so the Nova will probably be progressing a lot more rapidly to where i want it.
As i said, new-ish Nova owner so i'll probably have a buch of questions to fire at you all.
Take it easy,
Chris

Hey Chris. I'm glad someone pointed you over here. Post a picture of your computer rendering of a trans-am inspired Nova, that thing is wicked.

Hey thanks for the welcome guys and the kind comments!
I figured I'd get some comments about driving it in the snow...truth is i managed to avoid the worst of most of the snow all winter. The day the accident actually happened was a complete random snowfall which was bad enough to make the roads slick. Annoyingly it was all dry again 2 hours later! :mad: I knew i should have called off work that day! lol.
On the plus side, insurance is paying for a new paint job (which despite the shiny pics, i can assure you it needs) and I am never driving it in the snow ever, ever again. A sad reminder that in bad conditions, your own driving competence means nothing if someone slams into you through a red light. :(
Thanks for the comments on the renders too! Much appreciated! :)
