Blasted Nova

[mowen]

Had the nova fine glass blasted this afternoon, to say i was suprised with the results was an understatement. I had a horrible image of me being left with a cheese grater but to my suprise after stepping into the blast shed i was met with a nice an clean 21year old underside of a nova. :)

Looks really good buddy !

[mowen]

I work for an engineering and fabricating company up here in shetland called LEF, we've got a blast shop and one of the boys was kind enough to do it for me this afternoon.

[Balley]

I looks very solid pal

[Nobby]

what spec is the Nova? Sport etc or ?

[mowen]

It is a completely standard K plate black Gsi, i bought it from arbroath last august and its sat in the back of my workshop ever since. Finally dusted it off an decided to pull it to bits. 25,000 people on Shetland and im the only one that owns a nova so i kinda feel that i have to make a right job of it. :)

Looking good bud keep up the good work whots the next step

[mowen]

The only thing that let it down was the doors, they've some how acted like marine anodes and all the rott seems to have been drawn to them.

Now I've figured how to get up photos I'll get a build thread started.

I think the next step now is to fix all the imperfections, I've gotten a plate kit from phill at autoworks so that'll be stuck in then the underneath will be coated back up then time to start on the top.

I still need to get my build thread started but thought I'd throw up a picture to finally show I've made progress (don't wanna say its finished as that's never true)

Wow, what colour is that?

[DAFTJOHN]

Looks mega, especially solid for being from north scotland!

[mowen]

It was meant to be silk violet but the guy I got my paint from made a boo boo and i got 2ltrs of 1 shade and 4ltrs of another shade so I just mixed them together, luckily I've got 2litrs left incase of stonechips/bumps.
