    Default New bodyshell at bodyshop - Nova Sport rebuild begins

    Just got my new bodyshell back, had it acid dipped them E-Coated(Electrostatically dip primed). What do you think? Feels like Christmas to me!!! Need to get it sealed, stone guarded, painted and Waxoyled now before I can start building the Sport.

    Was a brand new Mk1 bodyshell that has been stored for about 12 years, it had been painted but badly and never got used.
    There are no floor numbers and there was no rust , didn't need any welding but put in some plates for a 6 point cage and a Harry Hockley plating kit.
    Had this done as I couldn't be ****d to rub down the sh!t paint job and it would make sure there was no corrosion anywhere like in the seams & box sections.
