    My mate had his nova in with him for welding and full repspray and even his is fucked. Bumpers are peeling and it has rust coming through already........his has been in his garage since while he builds it up so how has rust started coming through when its not even been used?

    Some lovely Nova's there, and that sucks about the bubbling.

    Think some bodyshops think they can get away with ripping people off just because they'll pay to have their pride and joy sorted. Hope they sort it properly this time round.

    Also one fo the reasons I'm going over my Nova with a very fine tooth comb to seal up any areas that are likely to attract rust (which is probably all of it ). It's been off the road for 10 years so being thoroughly dry it'd be stupid of my not to get it protected OCD style.

    Well I got the xar back once again and its still a shit job, I seriously give up. If the guy wasn't oldish I'd of took my money back out of his face but I'm just going to cut my losses and move on.
    Basically he hasn't removed side skirt before spraying the rear quarter he just taped around it, he also didn't mask off the window surround properly so got paint on that, the front wing looks like he has ran a bead of pu sealer along the lip

    Heres some pictures

    Anyone looking for bodywork doing in the North West avoid Tibs in Great Harwood, absolute wank

    Anyway bodywork out the way I'm gonna get my mate to sort the whole car out properly in a few years with a full repsray too.

    I had an hour free today so stripped some of the front end off ready to start the conversion, going to need a bit more work than I first thought but oh well.
    Going to need a front panel, small plate welding near passenger turret, drivers chassis leg (can i plate this or need a full chassis leg?) And a new passenger wing.

    Going to get some more bits off tomorrow when I have time

    That arch paint is pretty awful, especially masking off a skirt.

    I like your dog.

    One of my mates knows him and said he use to be really good, clearly not anymore. Anyway fuck it ill have it sorted at a later date.

    For now I need to get a front panel, wing and figure out what I'm gonna do with the chassis leg

    Another thing I found, when he originally sprayed the wings the first time he had the side skirts off and took off the clip for the skirts...........he didnt fit it back on properly with rivets like id done previous and this is his attempt at sticking it back on

    Your can also see he didnt take the skirt off second time spraying it he just masked around it
