Jafanans white sr nova project

[jafanan]

The blue area on the mount is just a reflection, it is gloss black but later photos when fitted will help it look much better....................i hope,

fresh looking altenator


mount:


started prepping the brake servo- started sanding it and loved the chrome/polished look so i kept going, what do you think about a polished servo or do you think i should have it black, white r silver to match other areas of the bay? im undecided yet



shinnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy



general photo of my painting this evning


i then bought a spot weld cutter, whihc is basically a drill bit with a slightly flat head (A in the photo below)


i then used this along with a big hammer to remove the remaing part of the front section/panel to make way for the new one

after a few hours

and vioula...........................................i ts in

i used g-clamps to hold it, i intend now to trial fit the bonnet to make sure the catch fits perfectly



i am also finshing up the cardboard templetes for the new plates to be welded throughout the car, im getting the plates done professinaonlly by the girlfreinds dad who works at that - so il have freshly cut and shaped plates..................................i like :D

also i have prepped and reapinted the petrol tank - pics coming soon
gearboxed painted pics - coming soon

when you did the brake servo the rubber pipe will just pull out so alot easyer to do with it out the way imho.
Keep up the good work.
