how'd you spray it?
i'd look at plating the underside of the cage mounts. nice car, my road rally nova is a solid car, but the red paint is ****e... needs a respray
i've got two sets of those wheels, one in standard silver with yokies on and one set in white with white centres gonna have some colway rally plus tyres to go on

i spent a lot of time preping the body work. and then i borowed my mates compressor and gun. didnt come out too bad for my first time spraying. i had to run plastic sheets all over the garage to keep the dust down.
if your paint is faded i bought some excellent cutting compound from spares world.
only ?2.50 and its amazing, putting it on my sisters faded red micra
that lagoon blue nova is related to my first one, mine was J468 TMJ!
rally car looks nice, does it need full interior for the regs? some road rally cars seem to need rear seats and that.
oh, i see it now, it does have full interior..that answers my question
yea ive gota have a full interior, :S
hows that nova related to your first nova? number plate on this one is j5 something or other :D got it from my mates in swansea
what was the cutting compound? mt nova is pretty bad...
its made by carplan! think its called paint retor, but im not 100% would go and check but its in my grans garage

thanks mate, i did grind all the welds back to make sure they were solid. my mate is studying welding as part of his enginering apprentacip. excuse my spelling
think they should do the job, thanks again
slight progress at the moment, been busy with christmas and interviews
i painted the standard bumpers gloss black and fitted them.
also got the gears sorted and it feels smooth through the gears now. engine is a bit smoky on start up tho, but i should be rebuilding the engine when i get some cash :D
ive also been mesureing up for my sump and tank guard, will be fitting them after christmas.
other plans are to fit a new steering wheel, as i have an odd omp quad one at the mo. its a bit awquard to have full control with thatv shape.
Everything else is almost there now so hopefully i will get it out asap.
