    Before welding you should bring all surfaces back to bare metal & you're not using quite enough gas. Is that epoxy in the engine mounts?

    Look forward to seeing more

    Yeah I know mate but where I had my little ding last year the chassis legs aren't perfectly straight so I didn't want to put loadssssss of weld in the holes I did the majority of them though

    and yeah I quite like it there but better test fit the headlight first

    Its a gasless welder not the neatest but I'm getting strong welds out of it and when I spend the time to clean them up they look ok... I was being lazy not cleaning up the metal and made more work in the long run oopsy!

    It is polyurethane in the engine mounts what my mate used on his e36 dirt car and worked a treat these are a little harder than his though

    I have done so much more work since this thread and haven’t got pictures any more of the updates. Might have to get it going again

    Nice project and something a little different. Don't see many black Novas
