    Metal fabrication is such an uphill battle; at least progress is happening during the most challenging time of year, although atm it could be October outside :D

    If you are set on black for the outside; set it apart with vinyl:-



    Such a build deserves not to be unrecognised.

    Yeah I'll get something on it maybe some of the colourful fm rally stuff not sure yet.

    Well, yesterday I got the nova home. Bodywork is pretty much done few bits to finish off myself and still the rear quarters needing doing.











    I'll get it blasted and in primer then see how all the carbon fits!

    Yeah that's the plan, made a start going over the metal with the da today, the bare metal looks a bit shit as it's been sitting about so I'll get it all cleaned and primed so I don't have to go over it again. Trying in my seats tomorrow, it's going to be touch and go whether they go in or not... might have to take a bit out the tunnel.

    So I tried in a seat today and it fits! Glad I don't have to notch the tunnel.

    Ok so even rear quarters are going to be in carbon? Impressive; slight shame it's a sunroof model or is this going also in favour of composite?!

    Seats look of a good design and not dissimilar to what I have in mine, perfect without ears etc on a road car as even in such buckets, strapped in, it can be a struggle sometimes at junctions to crane neck around!

    Are you thinking rotary wire brush to clear the surface crap? I cannot recommend vactan enough as the initial treatment onto bare metal, followed by red oxide then primer etc - Coat it & coat it & coat it else you'll forever be chasing it in 10 years time.

    The quarters are fibreglass, I just hope they'll look ok. I've got a set of metal ones incase they don't though.

    Yeah I much prefer this style of seat.

    its pretty much a scotch bright pad I've been using, takes it away instantly, it's really light marks on all the bare metal just from sitting around really. All the rot has been cut out so nothing proper rusty is left. Is that vactan the converter stuff? So red oxide all the bare metal on the car and hit it with primer afterwards?

    Great to see the cars home. I would use etch primer over red oxide on bare metal but everyone is different. This is going to look awesome
