true lol lol

[dj_wudgey]

yea i need to paint stuff sort the breaks have the 40's set up it will be close again lol

[burgo]

i hate you all, being as im bored heres a rough list

the estate.

get the roof 100% perfect so i can make a fibreglass mould and then make a fibreglass roof skin, then i have to redo the inner roof strengthening bits (i know what i mean lol)

will be stripped back to a bare shell once this is done so i can sort out the rust and do some chassis strengthening and maybe a hidden cage.

once thats done the sides need redoing as they are not straight enough imo

then the tailgate area needs redoing again lol

once all that is done ill do all the engine bay and do the various mods to allow me to fit any engine i want later on.

then the epic task of prepping it before it goes for paint :d

once back from paint the running gear will have a complete over hall, billies will be sent off to be checked, poly bushes all round and everything refurbed basically.

then i need to get some glass made up for the back windows and some proper seals made

once all this is done and its water proof the interior will be redone again as i wasnt happy with it last time.

then ive gotta decide what engine to go for but thats easy bits

thats the general gist anywho

the saloon

first job is to decide that the hell i am actually going to do with it, i have still got an epic build in mind just need to see if funds will allow. ill update this bit soon :p

[Dom]

Well i wont be taking the nova to the shows but got a bit to do to my mk1 astra it was all perfect but on mothers day 2days after my photoshoot for TV i hit a deer so i need to source and paint another intercooler straighten front panel and paint arch trim and bond back on. It sounds alot but have been usng car as is even took it to the ace cafe like it and most people struggled to see the damagelol
