    Default JaysNova TDelicious

    Had this about a year now and sold it to a friend a couple of months ago but fate brought

    it back to me as my mate wrote it off after a beer or 2 "reversing into a bus."

    So bought it back and got it through its MOT fitting a front panel and new tyres and

    front wings and now starting to repair the back end fitting a rear slam panel and scuttle

    whilst starting to prep for a full respray

    Here it is when i 1st bought it then quickly started moddin' it








    Ive lowered it 60mm on Jamex struts and springs

    Fitted GSi calipers and grooved discs on the front

    Smoothed off the indicators and door locks and fitted remote central locking.

    And just plan on keeping it simple and sell it after its resprayed.

    Front panel plug welded and bonded








    Here its is after he "reversed into a bus"





    Bought it back for £200 what a bargain

    Had a tailgate from my old GTE rep lying around so got that rubbed down and primered









    After welding up flushing the indicator and arial holes and preped for primer







    Then repaired the dents in the door and flushed the door locks





    With beefing up the holes with a metal plate and the mig it got too much

    heat and warped the door slightly so started heat shrinking it with a wet sponge and the

    gas axe.....works great







    Wings primered up





    Now started trimming the new back panel drilling out the spot welds

    more photo's to come
