Keiths Nova Turbo build

[krobinson]

It's still so clean!

Do you have a timescale in mind for it? I guess it won't be quite as involved as the last build?

Billing 2016 is the deadline, but i'd like to have it done by the end of the year if I can. Looking into management and loom so need time to get it mapped and some miles put in before the big drive.

Amazing attention to detail. Always loved this car and now it's getting even better!! Will be following your progress

Has any one ever made or designed plastic splash guards for these ?

Plastic splash guards for inner wings? Yes, they exist, from Lokari

They were even standard on MK2s in north countries like Sweden (as also headlamp washers)

Thanks for that Steve, any pictures of them fitted?

Wow, big job ahead! Was actually wondering about the durability of a dipped shell. Keith, do you think the quality of dipping and the subsequent electrophoretic coating lives up to your expectations, or would you do things differently should you do a similar type restoration/build?

I would never do it again, my perception vs reality was way out. I feel I wouldn't be doing this now if I'd just painted the shell instead as it was absolutely brand new when I first started and has been dry stored in a heated garage/carcoon since.

Have you have paint issues like Edd?
