    And the car came home yesterday; i hadn't seen it until today.

    The car needed a load of flatting and polishing as when i last saw it, the finish was only out of the gun.

    I'm now really chuffed with the finish, couple minor bits to sort out in time - the bodyshop is an old friend of mine and the Nova was taking up space, so the last parts of the rebuild will happen here.

    Some photos for perusal.









    Thanks

    Fantastic build.
    All I wanted was a Pepsi, just one Pepsi
    Far from suicidal
    Still I get them tendencies
    Bringing back them memories
    That I really miss when I reminisce

    Inner arches have had the welds sealed.

    De-greased the area, Upol Grey Stripe seam sealer, then White Stonechip to finish.







    Til next time.

    Looking good, your putting this back together quickly but taking care whilst you do it. Great to see the welds being protected, I can only imagine the amount of people that have had the arches done and not done this.
