Hey there! New guy, 78' Nova
Hey guys!
Just wanted to give an into. I found this site on google, trying to find stuff on pro-touring 4th gen Nova's. I have a 78' Nova with a fresh 355. Every time I finsh doing something else to it, I get an idea to do something else to it. This time if I do what I want to to it, I won't have anything else to do to it. I would assume that you have picked up the hint that I want to turn into an pro-touring car. It's a hatchback, so i wouldn't be suprised if I would be the first to attempt this on a 4th gen hatchback. But there is always a first for everything. The butt of it all is that I probably won't be able to start for another 10 years, I am a full time student for another 4 years at least, and after that I will be trying to start out my life. So who knows. But I do not intend on going into the project blind. I have plenty of time to do research, hense why I got on this site. So any of you who have pro-touring 4th gen's, send me a message, and lets get some ideas going for my project! Thanks guys

Nice. Thats how it starts, one thing leads to another and another and on it goes. It's been going like that for me for over 30 years. And I can't make it stop. That's a good thing.

If it runs and drives get it on the road as is. If you take it off the road in the winter and have a place to work on it do a project that you can finish by spring, then enjoy it some more. Repeat until the Nova is done to your satisfaction!
