[cornish]

Just a quick pic of how my Nova is at the minute, the 2L has come back out so i can seem weld the bay and sort out the rust. I've got a new front panel to go plus a few more patches to weld in and then i can spray it :)

[Breeny]

I just changed the url slightly... its said cornidh instead of "cornish" (i presume?) but it still doesn't work :?

[cornish]

Should be sorted now, just had to resize them.

'corindh' is where i mis-typed on the photobucket registration screen!

More pics to come tonight with the front end back on :)

[Dare-devil]

Looks good m8. Keep it up. :wink:

[chenco]

There loads of fresh unpainted metal there. Must have been really rusty, a bit like my nova (but yours has less rust). Good luck putting front back on and engine in? Whats going in there?

[peester]

oooh that looks a bit better with a front on. im not used to those sorts of sights where car shells are dicected. i guess its all uphill now.

[cornish]

Yep the new front panel is finally on, i've just been grinding down the welds a bit this evening and then zinc primered the bay. There's alot of bare metal along the seems as i had to strip them completly to weld them up. A 2L is going in there, hopefully the car will be back on the road on the weekend :) :)

[beatin u]

make sure you seal up the inside of the chassis legs with waxoil or similar or they'll rust from the inside out :evil:

is it a pain in the ass getting the front panel dead straight???

ive got this job coming up and aint looking forward to it much :roll:

[chenco]

Looking Good mate. Good luck. Keep us posted with pics.

[fearless]

Are U sure that cutout in the chassis leg is big enough to clear the alternator pully?? Best to check now before u paint it !!
