The Counts Track Day Nova Build

[Count Vaux Alot]

too true, I'd rep you for it but I have to spread it around

[Count Vaux Alot]

Hi everyone here is todays up date for you

I cleaned up the N/S turret and stitched up the seams



Removed the centre of the rear spring plate (extra weight )



Then ground back all the overlap on the turret so it was nice and neat



And did a little more stitching



While waiting for the whole are to cool on the N/S i moved on to the O/S - cleaned it up, stitched it up, and painted it, this was very satisfiying to see as it was all coming together with the etch priming!









Instead of watching the pain dry i went inside the car and did the opposite...i got the morz out and stripped off the paint from the seams around the inner wheel arches ready to be stitched.





Once the paint was off i got on with stitching the seams inside the car





Then it was time to clean up and paint the inside of the N/S turret as so

may i say you have done a cracking job on them turrets
Making me want to try to do mine but it would look sh1te

Nearly completed all the work inner arch wise! So its back to the inside of the car to clean up the turrets and dust them over with acid etch (its just to keep the atmosphere off them for the minute as i will have to weld the cage in shortly)







Paint...











Nice and level looking out of the car (the turrets not my inability to take a level picture, in my defence the car is on its side )





And looking into the car





Lots of loose ends tied up tonight which i'm happy with still loads to do though

Thanks that is good to hear as i wasn't going to bother but i then thought of the advantages (more room in the arch and longer shock travel) and just went for it - i think they have turned out well :D

i agree with you there they have turned out spot on

So when you doing mine

Looking good mate, another awsome build

You welding in a rear strut brace ?

Even if my best mate in the whole world asked me to fit some of these i would only do it for a huge sum of monies or sexual favours or a combo of the too as they are a PITA to do even on your own car

No sure yet as the cage has a brace very close to the turrets and a rear brace might be unnecessary and/or look out of place but we will see....
