Thanks for posting up such a cool project. This is one of my favorite body styles. You are making great progress.

Thanks guys, I am slowly checking items off the list, I am getting eager to blast it back apart and get it on the rotisserie.

No No No, Please leave the car paint and body in it's current state. It looks way to perfect to mess with.

Well that makes me feel much better. I know it's not my car but man I just love the patina on this car.

Still knocking items off the to do list. The wife has notified me baby #2 will be here October! So it's time to get off my ass before I have even less free time than I do now.

Took the old ratty recaros to the upholstery stop, got a few teaser pictures but they are not done yet.

I was going to sub out plumbing the car, but after some thought and research, I purchased cunifer brake and fuel line, stainless gravel guard and an eastwood flare tool. Picked up some pure choice motorsports wilwood banjo fittings to clean up the brake lines. Fronts are done, still need to finish the rears. Overall I am very happy with the results thus far.

And lastly for now, I built a fuel tank harness and began plumbing the soft line. I will run hard line from the filter to the firewall. The rest is -6an areoquip starlite.

Kevin, the seats are looking good. Fuel and brake line look great.

Thanks for the detailed pics Kevin! Getting a good number of items off your list. Always a good feeling...

Love the build. This gen. Novas are the only ones I like. You are doing ONE of my dream builds. DSE stuff could be hung on the wall and admired. LOL

Subcribed.

How did you like the Cu/Ni line for brake and fuel. I've heard nothing but good things about it and was planning to use it on my car. I haven't seem too many people use it for fuel, but it should work well.

Keep up the good work! Your progress makes me feel like I have an eternity left on my car..........cuz I do! :(

The Cu/Ni line is awesome to work with. It bends nice and smooth, I am using a ridged tubing bender. The eastwood flare tool makes easy work of the flares. I was planning on doing stainless for brake and fuel but after some research and horror stories of leaks and flares I changed my mind. Don't be fooled by bolting on parts as much progress. lol I still have to blow the entire mess back a part and finish all the detail work.
