Title: Hi everybody! from ChuckNova
Post by: ChuckNova on March 04, 2013, 07:48:56 PM
Hi everybody!

ChuckNova here. Really happy to have joined the forum.
Was actually going to cruise down to the Briars Inn to meet you guys and join the club but i only made it to Picton, lol.

My Nova blew an oil seal......engine bay looked like someone had vomited oil all over it.

Had to get a tow back home to the Katoomba  :cry:     $350 tow...OUCH!!!!!

Anyway, check out my pride and joy...1970 Chevy Nova. Not a factory SS, but it has all the SS upgrades anyway (and a few more under the hood)  :cool:

Had it for about a month. Very happy with it, been looking for the right car/right budget for quite a while.

Thanks. Was one of the reasons i went for it, not many around at all, although quite a legendary muscle car (IMHO). I think they tend to get overshadowed by the Chevelle's.

Anyway, back on the road now, crankshaft seal was the culprit!
