However at least its nothing a damn good clean/polish and general tart up wont sort. Id get the hammer out and tap back where needed so you can fit the coilover springs etc. The arches were painted with hammerite smooth so could easily be minted up again with a few coats by yourself. I'll be watching with anticipation! Looking forward to seeing it next year after you've had some time with it and any help you need feel free to give me a call.

    Nick.
    Hey Nick, I'm glad it was only hammerite, makes sorting it out easier, I presume you lacquered over it as well?? Is there a way of hammering without doing loads of damage? plastic hammer etc...?

    Drooled over thsi car many times, she sounds fantastic on carbs unlike my LET goes in a straight line, LOL

    Im amazed that after spending so much cash on a nova the previous owner left it to deteriorate for 2 years outside as well ?

    Who is 'redstig' then ? as the user made out he bought it ?
    Cheers Edd, I was gobsmacked at the initial price it went up for as were most, they got bored after about six months and I guess two years later just wanted the drive space back.
    Redstig was a bit of fun about the car falling into chav hands.

    Pics of the two together

    Copper hammer, or put a bit of wood on it and hammer the wood.

    Having two is great for trying things out like changes wheel colours, engine details etc..

    Cheers Benn, I was watching american chopper last night and noticed them battering metal with a moulded hammer last night.

    I'll borrow the GAZ setup off the rear of the black one as I never got the rear coily springs with it.

    Strange things happened to this car over the two years, the suspension was considered too hard so binned for coilovers, then the rear rubbed to the coilovers springs came off and 120mm apex springs went on but with no spring seats on the body or beam. It had 1 leather glove as a spring seat!!!!
    It will get decked again, but was put up for Mot, inspection and repairs/repainting.
