View Full Version : Star Silver 91 Gsi
WELL HERE I GO AGAIN!
ive had this nova since i turned 21 in 1999,bought it for £4200 with 62000 miles (the auto trader add from 1999 (http://www.pngclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=137081) ) as seen in the first picture, then in 2000 i bought new gm inner wings and front panel and done a slight rebuild on the front end. i used the car everyday till january the second 2004 when i bought my imola yellow audi s3:) , but sadly the nova was never used again:( .
the pictures that follow are from the rebuild in 2000 and as i want to use the car again this year i thought id share its history first. the car did belong to a former member of png and had an old skool sticker on the windscreen, sadly when the window was replaced the auto windscreen wa*k binned it!
hopefully i shall get pictures of its present condition up by the end of the week, she doesnt look as good now as she once did:cry:

Is it a goldy silver,

lol your up way to late, it's em STAR SILVER lol, the clue is in the title:d
@ BURGO, simple plan is get all the bodywork sorted and brakes, then a full respray, no engine work as I don't have a budget for that, but i do have an early XE, it's been sat for 7 years so would need a rebuild if I was going to use that but probably keep it 1600:thumb:

I'm looking forward to seeing some progress on this :)
Nice example you got there, id keep it 1600 too. Plans sound good, get some more pics up of the present state.
Bruce
Cheers guys, I'm hoping to dig it out through the week and get some current pictures, I still need to get some panels but atleast if it's stripped it'll save time when I get the panels.
Been a while since i seen this.
lol your up way to late, it's em STAR SILVER lol, the clue is in the title:d

nice car, dont like the spoiler at all
The zender rear spoiler is the same as the one on that pink ex-Courtney nova. But it will never be attached to my car again!
Well got a tailgate from johnny-ayr at the weekend, tis good condition but white, and phoned the local panel stockists in paisley, they wanted £86 for a rear panel!! Eh GTF MATE!!
vaughanmc
16-02-10, 12:34 PM
I got quoted about the same for a rear panel for the Sport lol
Been a while since i drove this and seen it. My mate got banned after a motorway chase in this car!

lol i knew it had a history, tell him its back to haunt him, maybe it'll give me a break then.
If it makes you feel better this car made me buy a gsi. My mate missed this car so much he bought my gsi off me when i moved onto a corsa gsi. Didnt take long for me to go back to a nova.
:cry: i dont think you'll like the next batch of pictures im putting up, she needs help, badly
vaughanmc
16-02-10, 09:26 PM
Go for it :) Everything has to start somewhere in some condition
im going up tomorrow night, might not get it fully dug out but will make a good effort.

Lovely looking car, its hard to imagine a GSI needing such engine bay work 10 years ago, makes you realise why there are so little left now.
any pics yet mate ? :thumb:

21-02-10, 05:26 PM
keep at it mate :thumb:
look forward to new pics :)

21-02-10, 05:32 PM
Same as above!
Nice colour!
sorry no updates yet, ive been busy at work keeping the motorists safe by de-icing the bridges on the motorways so hopefully soon.
well braved the snow to clear the junk around the nova, didnt get her out but hopefully next weekend she will see daylight again, got a few pics of how she looks today and some of the new stuff for her, new billstein coilovers, big brakes and new side skirts,
if you can beat the rusty tailgate your better than me, cos mine is pretty FUBAR!!

i also had a look underneath and im none to happy with the rear legs so looks like my bootfloor will be going in this instead of the gte :cry:
Going to be a very interested restoration/rebuild mate :)
Doesn't look too bad, is it ?
well hopefully the front wont need too much work and ive got a full bootfloor so maybe a pair of quarters and a pair of sill with some patch work should do the trick oh and a rear panel too,
Edd the tailgate had that silver sound deadning stuff plastered all over it and inside the quarters too so when the moisture got in there it never left, hence the mega rust tailgate, ive got 3 good tailgate to choose from so thats no probs and the doors and bonnet are ok but the both front wings are scrap.
guess she's been sitting for a while ? looking forward to rebuild though :thumb:
cheer mate, yeah been sitting since 2nd january 2004 lol
Jesus you can tell that has been sitting about!!!
yeah the rust is just going nom nom nom nom lol

plenty of work to do mate:thumb:
will be good once it's done:)
cheers lads, it really needs help lol
Gonna be rotten behind those skirts! before you buy any bits for it get it completely stripped (Including ALL the underseal), otherwise your fix bits of rust to find more just behind the patch you just did!
bare shell and sandblaster FTW lol
well i went up to have a look at my wee motor this morning after my nightshift and managed to dig it out and get another couple of pictures, the first pic is for Joe richardson, he asked me ages ago for a picture of my s3 and gsi together so here you go mate:thumb: ( part 2 follows in 5 mins :p )

Reminds me of mine (a bit). Strip it right down. Dont work around the rust, but in it. And defeat it.

tis the attitude it needs:thumb: im ordering a new rear panel this week, i have a full new gm boot floor, but i think ill start by pulling of the quarters and fixing behind them, i dont want to remove to much in the one go and leave the shell weak. and the same as you mate, coilovers in turrets.

at the moment im trying to make space for it to sit next to my other shell, as im using the other shell as a donor, and the GSI will have the engine and box removed and put on a spit, hopefully this will be done over the next couple of weekends.
let_nova
20-03-10, 09:08 PM
if you need a hand let me know.
cool, might just need a hand bringing my GTE down to the garage at my house to give me more space as the vectra GSI is still there too:thumb:
let_nova
20-03-10, 09:38 PM
cool, we will need to unload the corsa first then move your gte.
update needed :)
not done much tbh mate, em got the wings/bonnet/tailgate off stripped out the doors ready for removal and had to tidy up the shed and dig out my GTE as im bringing it down to the house for a bit to give me a little extra space. hopefull this weekend i'll get a door pin removing tool and get the doors off and windows out and make a start on pulling the engine and box out aswell, i'll get a few pics aswell:thumb:
Looking awful sorry for itself, reminds me of my old silver GSi, good on you for wanting to get it sorted out but I suppose with having owned it for so long you wouldn't want to let it go.
na its a keeper mate, i could reshell but its got sentimental value for me and im a fooking great clepto aswell lol, ive still got my nova GTE that i bought when i was 18!!
just seen the pics
jesus thats a tad rusty lol

dj_wudgey
25-03-10, 12:22 PM
get it sorted matey!!! glad you took off the spoiler though dude looks beter without!!
Cheers guys, it's a plus for me that I can weld, have the space, and time doesn't come into it. It might sound stoopid to some that I'm keeping this shell but I feel if I was to reshell it then it would only ever be a replica and not my GSI, anyway it will be good practice on a resto project cos as soon as I've done this I'm doing my GTE, hopefully a good update on Monday or possibly Sunday.
Cheers letnova I'll see you on Saturday .
Looking good mate, keep the pictures and updates coming :thumb:
Small update, got the engine ready to come out today the only thing left connected is the drive shafts, I'm on nightshift this week so won't get the engine out till next weekend.

lookin good ! give me a shout if you want a hand, im 2 mins away :P
@ MIERAN its a astra gte 16v mk2 rear arb with plates welded on the nova beam to mount it, ill be taking it off in the near future so ill get pics of it and stick them up,
@ GAZ get the welder oot man! get it cut out and welded before it ends up like mine lol
@ ALLY i'll give you a shout when it comes to pulling of the panels mate, just bring a drill and spot weld bits lol
SOUTHIE im wanting to keep it star silver but keep getting notions to put a light coat of pearl through it, but not sure yet,
Such a shame aboutd the rot, but am sure its just about fixable :D
Don't look as bad as this was and look how amazing its turning out!

I would love to mate, can't weld though...... I should learn really!
its not that hard if you learn the theory before trying it, buy a cheap instructional dvd and hire a welder from hss job done,
if you own a nova you will need a welder at some point lol

Well so far I've got new full sills ( Hadrian ), 2 GM front chassis legs ( bought them but won't use them unless I really need to ) new GM boot floor , new GM rear panel but still need 2 quarters and a front panel, once I've got them then the grinder comes out lol.
Can't wait to see the work start on this. I've got the fantastic task of fitting new sills and rear arch panels to my SR at some point when I find the energy lol
slight update,

You not using a jig, you must have a good eye ;)
It's been done before, you should see the guy on mig that's been building his nova for seven years, it's proper epic rebuild in the shell all new front end etc, I would stick up a link but there is a rule about promoting other clubs etc so don't want to upset the mods, but by f••k the guy is good.
That and the fact my brother and two mates are panel beaters are are old time trained, before all the fancy lazerline jigs came in it was all done by measurements, that's where I got the thing in my sig about the chassis measurments.
Pm me it bazil ;)
Oh and its just i got told bad stories in the past of bodge repairs :roll:
Thanks for the link bazil, +rep ;)
some amazing work gone into that :thumb:

Cheers :) I was hoping to attack it and get it done this year but now I'm just going to take my time and do it right, might aswell as I'm not planing on ever selling it.

It's been done before, you should see the guy on mig that's been building his nova for seven years, it's proper epic rebuild in the shell all new front end etc.
AIRFIX kit. :)
AIRFIX kit. :)
yip lol makes my rebuild look like duplo
Still need quarter panels but my budget took a blow with the audi costing me near £1800 last month on servicing and tyres :(
an update?
http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy181/Bazil_2468/Picture123.jpg
okay so ive been vewy lazy and done sod all to this so today straight of last nights nightshift i went up to the workshop and started mincing, it took me a bloody hour to get the o/s bottom door pin out and that was with heating it till it was red hot lol,
http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy181/Bazil_2468/gsi/d51eaf0a.jpg
then i couldnt get the other door of as my brothers vectra has a dead battery and both rear wheels seized solid and i wasnt for wasting my time on his motor.
http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy181/Bazil_2468/gsi/ab3ac977.jpg
so dash out then all the full loom out TOTALLY UNCUT!! including the 2 alarms and 2 imobilisers that are fitted to it, not much fun.
http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy181/Bazil_2468/gsi/0c866415.jpg
also started to remove the headlining but was getting a bit tired and didnt want to make a mistake and rip it.
i was supposed to go out tonight but spent to much time playing at novas i missed my reservations at dinner lol lol
http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy181/Bazil_2468/gsi/c51417a6.jpg
heres how it sits now, not much different apart from the fact i can see even more rust now :cry:
hopefully get the fuel pump,tank and lines out and the engine and box aswell this week.sorry for the piss poor picture quality, iphone 3g FTL:thumb:
Looks good, its stripped ready for rebuild :) look foward to seeing it done :thumb:

it was my second nova, i got it when i turned 18, im 32 today lol

04-07-10, 09:45 AM
Happy B'day cheif :) 14 year if my maths is any good ?
cheers mate, yeah had it a long time, the gsi is eventually going to be a 1.6 turbo with the coilovers, speedlines, epas, quickrack, etc etc but the gte is going back to totaly bog standard, as near factory as i can get. Thats the way the wife wants it as it was the first car she ever driven and its going to be her sunday car.
vaughanmc
04-07-10, 09:53 AM
That'll be tidy - Maybe next year then we'll have a bigger turn out at Scottish Meets/Shows with the Nova's :)
Silver GSi's are nice mate, keep at it
scorge01
04-07-10, 11:09 AM
gte looks pretty cool i used to have one but sold it to a mate worst mistake ever
the gsi looks pretty close to my mates star silver one also on speedlines nice motor.
Well another couple of bit pulled of after work tonight, took out the fuel tank, pump and filter, That was after getting the full exhaust off, then pulled of the shafts and i r now ready to get the engine and box out.
http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy181/Bazil_2468/gsi/2efa37b1.jpg
This is what I'm up against lol it used to be the rear towing eye :(
http://i790.photobucket.com/albums/yy181/Bazil_2468/gsi/6ca728a8.jpg
good luck mate, i'm sure you can do it.

06-07-10, 05:19 AM
Just read the whole thread. Its cool you still own both cars so many years on! Always good to see people putting a bit of effort in to restore a car, rather than just getting another shell. Top work!
Ive always had the view that if reshelled and used the other shells ID then it's always going to be a replica, and I can't use the original reg as that would be ringing, so after having them lying around for 11 and 6 years I'm in no rush to fix the shells, it more restoration than rebuild.
gary_126
20-07-10, 12:47 AM
Totally agree! Anything is fixable if you put the effort in.
I'll get there in the end
tbh 99% of people would scrap my shell, I'm to stubborn, and want to prove a mate wrong lol
Just had quick scan thru
Hope you've got another shell to cut rear hassis legs from, rear toe eye looks fooked lol
Yeah I've got a solid mk1 shell that was registered as scrap so I've removed the inner wings for my gte and the rest is pretty usable, I'm going rear coilovers and turretts anyway so the legs won't have to take springs,
I was wanting to much further along by this time but I'm not going to rush in just to get it finnished, I'll take my time and do it right.
Well after last nights shift I set about pulling out the engine today, first I had to move the brothers GSI vectra that got all 4 brakes seized:tard:
then working by myself got the engine out without breaking anything or spilling blood lol
on a bad note, when I was under the motor undoing the box bolts I got a serious shock about how bad it really is with rust,
The only things left on are the n/s door and roof lining and sunroof and hopfully get them off tomorrow.
As I've been up for 27.5 hours now I'm of to ma kip:)
lol sounds like fun i took the engine out of my old nova by myself with 2 scisser jacks and halfords extreme challange toll kit haha lol really looking forward to seeing the progress on this :thumb:
There might not be much more progress,
There might not be much more progress,
if you mean what i think you mean ill take it lol
lol just really p1ssed of with it today, I can fit my hand into the hole where the chassis legs should be under the floor,
It needs the following replaced;
both front wings ( don't have )
both rear quarters ( don't have )
rear panel ( have )
both rear chassis legs ( got in another shell )
inner rear arch repairs
battery tray repair
both sills ( have )
inner wing repairs
front panel ( don't have )
possable both front chassis legs ( have )
chassis legs under floorpan ( have in another shell )
full rear seat area and boot floor ( have )
forward floor pan repairs
With that amount of work to do I would seriously think twice about repairing it tbh
Will cost at least three times what a decent shell and paint would cost.
It's not an easy choice, it's all down to the saftey of the shell, my mate has been through thatcham courses for quality and such so I'll go on his word.The car is really special to me for various reasons but if it's unsafe to repair it then it'll have to go :(
Reshell it then, get a gsi shell to do it into if you can
Seeing as you have had it for long it would be shame for it not to go back on to the road
Tbh Edd if I can't keep the CGG plate I wouldn't want it, I'm one of these odd folk that will choose the stupid and unlogical route, longcut for a short cut and all that,
if I can repair it then it'll be a fooking epic job lol
I had a really bad week so maybe it's just a case of half empty?
That and my mates GTE astra has been waiting a year for his let engine back, so the 2 are sitting side by side looking very sad.
Bloody hell lol thats alot to weld! Should be called the "Cut & Shut" project lol
Patchwork quilt lol
I must be aff ma heid to even want to repair this.
cheers ally,
well got a pair of sills today and managed to get an original GM rear panel too :d next up is a pair of full quarters but at over 300 quid i'll need to wait till next weeks payday to buy them, in the mean time here is a vid taken in about 2000, bare in mind its been transfered from 8mm film and my editing is crap:wtf: .

vaughanmc
02-08-10, 08:04 PM
Real shame the car needs so much work mate...I'm more of a replace than repair fella myself so I'd reshell it and see if theres anyway you can transfer the reg onto the new car to make it like a personal plate ? If you can do that, that is ?
I would need the CGG car to have an mot then put it on retension then transfer when the new car has a current mot,
I had my mate look at it, he reckons if the panels and chassis legs are properly replaced then it should be ok, but it's a big job to take on. I'll need about a million spot weld drill bits lol
looks good mate.
cheers mate:)
meh, progress:roll:

i should say ill be doing a " how to " remove a rooflining without fcuking it up soon.

05-08-10, 12:34 AM
sorry to see that the shells in such a bad way fella, i scraped my white gsi back in march was gutted but to be honest it was worse then yours, underseal was holding it together lol bad times.
on that note fancy selling me the roof lining im in great need of one :)
lol it is, you just dont see it in the pics:d

When do you hope your mate can have a look to see if it's repairable ?
Tommy, it was worth a try but I'm keeping all the parts ATM
:)
Edd, my mate had a quick look at it and said if I replace the panels with new ones and fitted them properly it should be ok, he said the problem would be if I just welded flat sheet metal everywhere then there would be little strength in the shell, so I still need a couple of hard to get bits before I can start but I'm hopefully going to get them soon.
what bits do you need bazil??
The under floor chassis legs for the front :(
brainsnova
06-08-10, 12:41 AM
i would repair it as a reshell is the easy option but the memories are tied up with the current shell.

it was a very nice looking nova in its hay-day... if i was you id reshell it and cut the chassi number out nd weld it into the new shell, and then swap the reg...

thats an illegal thing to do and very pointless, the point of this project is to restore the shell to a high standard, a thing that many people don't or can't understand.
Anyone can reshell a car, it would take me only a weekend to build all my parts into a new shell and it would be running on the monday, but im not wanting to do that as i have 75% of the new panels i need and i see it as a challenge to restore this car.

07-08-10, 02:39 PM
just read through the entire thread mate, fair play to you for taking it on. I know i would have scrapped a shell in that condition but i understand the memories and sentimental value are very important. Good luck with it and will be great if you manage to restore it back to its former glory :) :thumb:

2 lads have GSIs, but on type 2 shells lol
sticking with it then bazil?
I think so mate, won't be quick build now that's for sure.
nah but by **** it will be worth it, im scraping mine and is alot better condition than yours, just the back chassis legs and spring seats are away
I'll take your shell for spares lol
Get it done Bazil
Will be epic if you got it done

keep us updated and it will all be worth it in the end;)
You my friend are the cause of this thread :)
if I didn't get that floor from you I would have stripped and binned this shell, but because I got that part it gave me a spark and even though taken me ages I'm slowly getting there with the rest of the panels too.

Look's very nice in pic's back from 99! should look very good when done.
although it looks very bad in pic's and when your tearing panel's off like paper it will suprise you how quick it comes together once you have all the panels make a start and get in to it mate!
you will soon be getting the grinder out lol
time to return the moral support mate, if a can help you out with anythin give me a shout, lol even if its just for sumone to talk to when your workin on it:D
cheers mate, i'll defo give you a shout if i need a hand
cheers mate, i'll defo give you a shout if i need a hand

Just read this start to finish, your a brave man basil. Can be done though as you say.
Good luck with it all
Paul
Thanks Paul, I'm going to be off work for 2 weeks soon so hopefully I'll get some progress in my time off :)
You managed to sort the panels you need ? Or cut them out of the other shell?
Or you still looking ?
Picking up some bits at the weekend, but unsure if I'm going to use them on this edd, rear wheelhousings, but on this I've seam welded the original ones and i've got bilstein coilovers that don't fit the standard arch shape so I'm probably going to turrett the rear,
Also going to be removing the rear floor on the donor shell as it's a guide for doing this one so all I need to do is get more spot weld drills lol
I'm still waiting on my quarter panels tho, they might not arrive till November lol but I'm not needing those ATM anyway, they will be the last things to fit along with the rear panel, only a weekend to do those, but I need to do the chassis legs and floor first and take my time,
No rush= no mistakes.
Sounds like you've got it well planned out mate
Rear inner wheelhouses ? You got them off Hartley?
Southie
01-09-10, 01:38 PM
This not finished yet lol It's rotting faster than I'm typing being stood whilst you take your time lol
Did you have to do any welding whilst the engine was out, and did you spray or paint it silver?
Looks niceeeeee.............

if you look a few pages back you'll see it needs mega welding now lol, and it was star silver from the factory :)
Also a wee update
I saw this for sale and had to get it, those of you who have read the thread will know that I don't want a big block, I always wanted a turbo'd 1600 so thanks to Compton, bazil is well chuffed,

15-09-10, 09:52 PM
please keep the intercooler hidden with no bumper hacking :thumb:
thanks for the coments guys
gary i was looking for a kingdom front bumper lol
i'll probably cut into the front valance to save me from cutting the bumper, maybe just open up the back of the lowest scoop on the gsi bumper as that would be roughly where the cooler would sit but defo no hanging out cooler, might also look into a floor mount pedal box to remove the servo and mastercylinder to give space for a charge cooler? but that is waaayyyyyyyyy down the line
ive also noticed im almost ahead of "The Airfix" nova on mig for the amount of panels being replaced lol
Good choice on the turbo kit, had always wanted one for my old gsi.
cheers mate, i might get a second engine to put it on and work away at a special build on its own block, proper job type build rather than gaskets and spacer plates etc
Ahhhh my old turbo kit lol
Make sure you use it, someone needs too lol
Have you got the headgasket spacer ? You'll need that.
When's all the cutting/welding starting then ?
Also get a twin pass intercooler, medium size no need for front panel cutting then, CraigGreen posted up a pic of his on a Gsi, fits lovely and looks factory font on as well
I've not got the spacer yet, it was posted seperate from the fanymould so it didn't get damaged.
The cutting won't start till I have every last panel I need, I'm heading to englandshire on Monday to pick up a pair of quarter panels :)
So once you have the quarters it's time to turn the grinder on ? lol
Southie
16-09-10, 11:16 AM
So when you get cracking / smashing / grinding / welding and maybe sleeping are we getting a daily update of your progress of madness and patience? :d
Not quite Edd lol still need to get a bettery tray and outer/inner rear arch repair sections and a gm front panel, once I have all the parts I'll lay them out and probably freak out at the size of the task ahead
southie, due to my shift pattern it'll probably be only 1 weekend in every 3 I could get a run at doing work on it, that's why I want every part I need so when I do get some time to work on it i'm not held back by lack of parts :)

loving it matey some nice kit you got there!!
that looks like an FSE power boost valve to me... I would avoid, if that thing decides to run lean at the wrong time it could nuke your engine.
I've seen alot of folk saying the FSE is pants, in mikes turbo guide he uses a rising rate one, in previous old threads I've seen cream XE injectors used, so I'll be doing plenty of research before even building the engine, also looking at megasquirt and megajolt systems too, certainly the standalone looks a much better choice.

Standalone would indeed be like night and day vs standard management 'fooled' into thinking it's running something different, it's also a night and day cost though lol
Mike never actually got his running tho
When Courtenay converted the e16's the set the fuel pressure rather than having a rising rate one, Craig could tell you what it is I would think.
Just to add the cheapest option would be to fit a presssure switch to sort the fueling, bout £10.
This is what I'll be doing with my 1300 turbo engine.
When Courtenay converted the e16's the set the fuel pressure rather than having a rising rate one, Craig could tell you what it is I would think.
Depends how fussy you are about doing it properly, imo a pressure switch to tell the ecu to go into cold run mode is absolutely shocking as a product to be sold to the public, and marginally acceptable as a home bodge.

16-09-10, 08:33 PM
look forward to the progress bazil :D Cant beat a good restoration!!
you need a sard rising rate reg (genuine one, not a hooky hong kong one)
Also get a twin pass intercooler, medium size no need for front panel cutting then, CraigGreen posted up a pic of his on a Gsi, fits lovely and looks factory font on as well
Best way, exavctly what I used before.

This arrived today along with some other nice parts but sex wee did flow when I opened this today lol

also picked up a pair of GM quarter panels from John sowerby, cracking guy and good to meet him, also the wife drove the transit van the whole way down AND back!! Didn't even give me a go :(
not much done work wise on the nova even tho I've been of work, but decorating the house took over but i'm chuffed at the result

thats the first time ive seen one of those panels :d
Quite rare now, also got a pair of inner wings with strutt tops so all I need now is a gm front panel and a pair of front wings :)
Where did you get the chassis leg from Bazil ?
I'm pretty sure you can guess lol
thing is I'm going to have to remove the front part from the underfloor part as the forward section is standard nova spec and I have the forward section for the 1.6 with the extra internal plate,
Nothing is ever simple.

If you loop it into the CTS wiring yeah, or on the E16SE you wire it into the TPS so it tricks the ECU into full throttle map when it comes on boost. Obv the fuelling still enrichens via the AFM as that opens anyway. Not to mention the rising rate reg which is where the bulk of the fuelling comes from.
It's merely how Courtenay have done it. If you have driven one of their 1600 turbo's back to back with a miserable std 1600 8v like I have you'd know it is very effective.
more bits today, i was over at fellow png member grooge's house with a sthill saw to help cut up his old 13sr, ( hardly any rust but front chassis leg damage:( ) but here is what i came home withlol

Just read the whole thread mate. Loving the idea of 1600 turbo.
There's some serious amount of rot on your gsi there mate, I scrapped my gsi 2 years ago which was no where near as bad as that!! I was very reluctant to scrap it as it was a real gsi and had many a good time in it like yourself, but when I was offered a near mint nova for £250 I had to take it. My gsi will live on, just in parts for my new 1 lol. Will look forward to more updates from you, looks like you've got some good panels to repair it so good luck.
Thanks ben, the project is in limbo ATM as I need to lay a new concrete floor in the shed before I start hacking it to bits lol.
That and it's to cold and wet :(
I want the bodywork completed and painted before the end of next summer so it's not forgot about just not a priority ATM

yea the weather isnt helping but when you can get stuck into it!!
In all honesty it'll be April or May, I spend the summer playing with cars and the winter working and playing in the snow lol
it'll be a long term job, not one to be rushed but hopefully by this time next year the shell will be fixed and painted.

Kev I do my own welding cheif, 180 mig with argonshield gas,
wouldn't let anyone else do it for me for 2 reasons, first, if they f**k up the panels I bought I'd kill them and 2nd it'd cost a fortune to pay anyone else.
