drives sweet as a nut, overall its mint.
plans are gsi interior, mk1 front end, cav gsi rims, coilovers:thumbs: for now
progress will be slow but when i do anything i will update this thread:thumbs:

[bieransri]

did plugs, air and oil filter change tonite, and put her up in the garage, dry and warm. where it will stay while not in use

[bieransri]

well i bought this lot during the week
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image000.jpg
so today i serviced it, cleaned and waxoyld the arches front and rear, inside rear quarters and wheel well inside.
plan to get it on a ramp and do in sills, floor pan chassis rails etc.
took a pic of one of the rear arches before cleaning and then after it had been waxoyld. camera was running out of batteries so only 2 picsw and sorry for the poor quality.:thumbs:

[bieransri]

little bit of progress
re did my arches with underseal (the black stuff) does look alot tidier, would like to have them painted but i think this option is alot more practical.
also took off the badges on the tailgate and the side strips looks alot better now in my opinion.
gsi interior comes next weekend so i'll get an update when thats in
also picked up some cavalier gsi rims. had them on my corsa and think they are so effective on subtley (sp) styled vauxs so going with them again and also having them painted vaux anthracite again without the laquer.
they will be getting refurbed this week hopefully as theyre in a right state at the moment,
just a few pics from my phone

[JSeymour]

what is the waxoyl like? and how do you apply it? do you paint the underneith and wheel arches first then put it on, or just after youve cleand it?

looks mint anyway mate, nice nova to start with.

[Lee]

How did i miss this thread? Good work fella, nice to see someone doing the essentials before doing the fun bits!

[bieransri]

i originally cleaned the arches then sprayed the waxoyl on, figured id done this wrong so cleaned again and used underseal

[stuartp]

nice to see someone doing the essentials before doing the fun bits!

[bieransri]

very dusty but only drivers seat need attention. as said it will be repaired once in car. will also be completelty wet vac'd by a fella at work. have just about everything although im not sure on the carpets,headlining and a,b and c pillor trims as i think these were the same regardless of the model spec e.g gsi or merit, spin etc

[rc]

mate that is one clean workshop lol

nova looks very good, why cant we all find minters like these??

[bieransri]

fitted a few main parts of my interior today, dash, front seats and some of the black trim. found that the switch just left of the column was exactly right for the choke, so removed the switch and put the choke there:thumbs:
dash wasnt as bad as i remember, it all just needs finishing and then a damn good wet vac, few bits on drivers seat i need to get repaired too but all in all a good few hours mincing :lol::thumbs:

[bieransri]

started flatting down the mistrals today, was thinking about doing the whole refurb my self but ive decided to get them done professionally. although i will be doing the flatting. then they will get the edges repaired and painted professionally:thumbs:
quick pic of one ive flatted, edge isnt too bad on this one but still getting them all done so theyre mint
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image001-5.jpg
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image000-6.jpg

[bieransri]

these showed up today, i gave em a mate as i thought i wouldnt need them again so i called him and got them back :thumbs:
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image001-6.jpg

[Adam]

Liking the wheels, good choice :)

[NOV4_SPORT]

looks spot on , minted nova, good choice on the wheels, look smart.

[Mike.]

the wheels look cool, there really going to suit the car:thumb:

[novaco]

how many trucks!! lol


nice car dude!! look ace when finished!

[bieransri]

done a few bits today,

i was going to get the rims refurbed professionally but thought i would give it ago myself. 2 are primed and 2 have yet to be primed. the edges have come out a treat so im fairly chuft with them so far. i also decided that the bumpers and skirts and possibly wheels are going to be painted ford matt grey. i got some things primed:thumb:

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/utmjn.jpg
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/53ey6.jpg
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/erwagt.jpg

can just see the rear quarter fins of my skirts that i primed aswell:)

[Martin]

nice1 looking good

[vaughanmc]

lovely nova that -- makes me want one more and more (than i already do :))

[Adam]

Are you spraying with spray cans?
As i couldn't find Ford Matt Grey in a spray can anywhere, tried all local motor factors, Halfords etc.

Wheels look good, i wouldn't go for a matt colour on wheels tho, matt finish gets easily scratched/marked. I'd go for something glossy that you can laquer to protect.

[bieransri]

i used rattle cans to prime them yea, although i might use a gun to paint em with, had matt antracite on the old cav rims and was ok so gonna try for matt grey

[RJM25R]

purchasing these, going to get them refurbed and painted anthracite, opinions?

http://www.corsasport.co.uk/carimages/4472/sheffield_78.jpg

They're round? They're black?

LOL only kidding.

[bieransri]

finally some progess:thumbs:
mistrals had been primed for a while now along with the side skirts, but not been able to decide what colour i wanted them. decided on hurricane grey.:|

however yesterday i went to my local bodyshop suppliers and asked for hurricane grey, but i wanted it to have a matt finish. the guy told me i couldnt have hurricane grey with a matt effect as the paint type and the matting agent were two different types of paint.

in the end he showed me loads of paint chips and decided on a colour not sure what car/make it was off but its exactly what i wanted.

so for anyone around stoke on trent looking for paint or any supplies give B & S Supplies a call. Paul there is a top guy helped me out loads, even stayed after they were ment to be shut to sort this paint out for me:thumbs:

B & S Supplies number is 01782 819638:D
anyway took some pictures along the way.

Bough my self a gun aswell to do the painting:D
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image003-5.jpg

The paint:cool:

Just need to get some new wheel bolts and some spigiot rings now, the arches will definetly need rolling too. oh and its in desperate need of lowering however im waiting till ive saved enough for a proper GAZ coilover set up:D:thumbs:
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image010-1.jpg

its on a hill here and the handbrake is on so not quite this high on a flat :lol: gonna get my rear drums painted in the week too:thumbs:

[Lee]

whoa, monster truck!!

Love the colour though! top work!

[Adam]

Nice work, the paint looks a spot on result for the std gm finish colour.

[bieransri]

started my back bumper today,

bought some high build primer
went over the whole thing with panel wipe then flatted it with 800's to key the surface
then applied plastic primer

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/678117.jpg

note novelty bin and sheet standlol

let that dry and started to apply high build primer, ive used a full 500ml tin, given it about 5-6 coats. think its got the texture gone now:thumb:

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/678120.jpg
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/678121.jpg

[mikey14sr]

Give it a week to dry properly and most of it'll come back once the thinners have evaporated.

[bieransri]

does it have thinners in it already? straight out of the tin? as i spoke to me cousin who is a painter by trade said that you dont mix it up, use it straight out of the tin? so i did, so i havent put extra thinners in

[mikey14sr]

yep, spray cans have the thinners mixed in inside, thats why you need to shake them up to get an even coverage.

[bieransri]

i didnt use spray cans, bought a tin of it and used my gun/compressor:thumb:

[Adam]

Nice paint stand,Lol.

Ye, high build does take a fair while dry.

Out a gun fills the texture fine, so i've been told.

How much was the primer?

[mikey14sr]

i didnt use spray cans, bought a tin of it and used my gun/compressor:thumb:

Ahh, I thought you had. It will have gone on nice and thick then, give it a few days to dry off and go at it with the 800 again before putting color on;)

[Adam]

I need a compressor and spray gun :( Lol
Works out miles cheaper than buying rattle cans.

[bieransri]

remember this
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p232/jaymirams/untitled1.jpg

that sadly turned into this
http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p232/jaymirams/wilkospics002.jpg

well i took a trip to ye olde cheadle after work and purchased the koni front shocks and 60mm rear springs:)
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image031.jpg

aswell as some gsi rear window surrounds
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image030.jpg

nothing was damaged or bent, shocks were a little rusty but straight none the less:thumbs: so these will do until i can afford some coilovers.

after having a chat about the crash etc i came back and set about putting them on was 8 o'clock when i got back and ws going to leave it but i didnt i went for it:thumbs:

old springs out
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image032.jpg

oh and random freebie off snap on today :lol:
http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image029.jpg

all in all a good 45 minutes for the old gal:thumbs:

front and rear gsi bumpers are on the way aswell as caps for the wheels and a gm central locking and electric window kit:D:thumbs:

[Adam]

Nice work, looks much better :)

[bieransri]

Fitted one of my side skirts tonite, after a few hours scratching my head, i got the tape measure, ruler and spirit level out oh and a pencil and a drill:lol::thumbs:

measured where all the clips should go, drew it out on the sill and drilled the holes:o have protected all the bare metal so hopefully be ok:look:

wacked the side skirts on and they look a treat,
going to do other one tomorow and get some better pics of it out of the garage:thumbs:

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image037.jpg

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a45/nova_7/Image036.jpg

[Adam]

Very nice, they look to have fitted well.
Hopefully the holes wont rust.

[craig green]

Whoa this sucker has taken on a whole new look with just those few bits on.

Me like! Surprised you didnt powder coat the springs considering the mintyness of the rest of the car... Saw about coilovers though.

So nice & clean!

[bieransri]

raised the back up a little today as it was scrubbing the tyre sidewall:mad:

i planned to use a set of fk rear adjusters i had lying around but found the spring would not fit over these so i just used the locking ring off them and its raised it about 5mm, not much but hopefully enough to stop it scrubbing:)

[c'2.0lrt]

[Adam]

Nice.
Grind/Roll the arch so you can drop it lower :cool:

The gsi bumpers will look sweet :thumb:

[ward]

looking really mint mate,well done.
wish i would have taken this easy route of just doing some subtle mods.instead of fully stripping and rebuilding it.

[NOV4_SPORT]

looks spot on mate, the skirts and the wheels make all the difference.

[shy witness]

looking good mate

[krobinson]

[bieransri]

[SRimon]
