I am interested in this car. It right by my house. Is there anything obvious I should ask about or look for. I know there are issues with how narrow Novas are. Would I be able to tell problems with bump steer and all the other issues Wayne Dues and John Parsons had to figure out to get the proper geometry for a Nova. Any other help or suggestions would be greatly appriciated.
p.s. I hope I posted the Link right, If not I appologize
I can't speak about the suspension angles and possibility of bump steer issues unfortunately. I say if it looks good and you have the ability to fix any issues or problems you might find down the road that $5k seems like a fair price. It might even be worth trying to get the LT5 shown in the pictures...
The only thing I would worry about is how he narrowed the track widths and where he got that info from. As long as he was able to properly narrow it you should be fine. If not then you will need to relocate the pick up points on both the front and rear suspension. If you're not comfortable doing this you'll have to pay someone who can. That might get pricey. I would try and contact someone who can do this if you can't first and show them the car then ask them what they think it'll cost to make it right if it isn't already!
