Cheers Southie! funny it's all been forgotten after all the pieces I've done at the rear
Inner arches
The bumper fixing holes - were putting me off as they seemed to be in the wrong place, so I went for panel fit
Ready for the driverside

Nice work mate, all the Nova's I've had over the years that have had the rear arches done whoever has done them has never done them properly and I've had to redo them :@ really fucks me off when people don't take their time to make a good job of it to get it right instead of making it look a kid on ketamine did the job.
top stuff dude ��
I totally agree I'm currently redoing the rear arch on mine that was supposedly done, except the previous owner forgot to do the inner wing and sill..... muppetOriginally Posted by TOZNOVA81
Cheers chaps! I'm not sure I've done the inner arch quite right, I got a feeling its meant to join at the outer arch lip with its own lip, I've tried to keep it simple and tacked it where it touches just above the lip, seam sealer will fix the rest!
What I'm doing is punching holes in the wing lip and spot welding the two together then grinding it flat
Home straight now!
Going to fill in the bumper bracket holes as useless on my old bumpers

looking good fella but as said i think you still need a bit more gas
Blew in the arches just to see the lines and fitted everything back together roughly thinking I'm getting there
Wasn't expecting engine probs!
Not touched it these 5months, just started occasionally and always been fine but it refused to start last week, had spark, fuel and compression, plugs out turned it over it blew out some smoke, finally fired after that! but not running quite right, got hot quite quick then without warning steam and water everywhere! top hose had burst, refitted another, cleaned all the carb jets, changed the leads, fitted a new fuel pump, seems to run a bit better but a little water coming out exhaust?
thinking it has somehow blown a headgasket just sitting is puzzling! but no water in oil and no white smoke?
so quick run up the road to see how it performs warmed up properly, still a bit hesitant but no steam, and no more water in exhaust?
plenty of bodywork to finish but quite pleased with the rear arches!
anyway top hose getting really hot, so going to remove the thermostat next thinking it might be the culprit, its all quite puzzling!
Well even with thermostat out still wasn't happy with the running, kept hesitating and cutting out, so head off to investigate..
Nothing obviously wrong, slight erosion near water channel on gasket, headskimmed only a few years back
reground valves, new headgasket and back together
Seems to have solved it! running well, all good on test run, touch wood!
Ready for Mot.
Nice one.
