Nearly 2 years ago since i last posted!! Where does the time go. Anyway no update other than more dust collected and i got offered a really good price to take everything Nova related off my hands....

Wish the rustbuster fairies would visit me �� I'd pay someone to do the same to my bare sport shell, Iv seemed to hit ground hog day/year! ��

I did it on my sport, not for the faint hearted.

I guess i should trial fit the door handles i have then to make sure i dont need to axe away the door once painted. Cheers

I believe they do too but i dont know what type of door i have lol

I know sports had smaller handles but not sure if the door was different. Im not bothered what door i have fitted or handle but just want to make sure the stickers will look ok. I have the doors on...

I read there is a difference in early and late doors but it didn't say what it is??
also how can I figure out what I have, I got new doors but have no idea if early or late.

cheers

Anyone help with 2 circlips?

SPL house of horrors! Before I went down I made holes myself in various places to make sure the paint got everywhere and more importantly the acid got out.

I think in the video on the web page they just jet wash it, I might be wrong though. I'll find out soon, mine is going down there again soon. :/

Have a look at my WIP thread, you will see the results of dipping there. I got it done at SPL. Im waiting to take the shell back down to be ecoated now but they have changed suppliers who they use to...

Just read from start to finish! Excellent effort! Car looks amazing. Where did you get your sport stickers from?? Not that im anywhere near needing them lol
