New project car. 1973 Nova

[Dirtyfingers]

I can't find any decent Nova forums so I'm going to post her up here. Picked this up for $1500 the other day and it runs and drives pretty well. 53000 original miles and ready for a facelift and new engine.

I have had a project car like this before but it was when I was young. I'll keep you guys updated if you're interested. Don't worry, I'll still have time for my 4runner

That looks pretty manageable - good find!

350, 4 bbl carb, and a turbo 350 transmission will make it awesome. A buddy of mine had a Buick Apollo of the same year w. the Buick 350, pretty much the same car.

The only oddity I recall was that it took a while to work out that in order to get the squirrelyness of the front end out one needed to replace the upper and lower ball joints, and the tie rod ends, as a set. While you're there, most disc brake systems from 1977-1990 full size GM's are pretty much bolt-on at the ball joints compatible.
