wip of sr 56k!!! finished

[probert_nova]

well i put my jamaican yellow sr into the bodyshop some weeks ago.
had the passenger rear arch replaced (other side only recently done).
both sills replaced and both front wings. heres some pics with all that done. still gotta spray the bottom half and bumpers in anthracite, put the door strips back on. gonna t-cut the parts that ain't been sprayed e'g bonnet and if they don't match very well then the rest of the cars gonna be resprayed aswell.

looking ok that mate

[Nick]

looks spot on - much nicer than your old nova !

I'd say no to the two tone anthracite below the bump strips, anthracite bumpers and wheels look great tho !

at the end of the day it's yours so do what you like !

I'd say no to the two tone anthracite below the bump strips,

would look good all yellow but i'm trying to keep it as standard as i can.

[Adam]

That looks great mate.
Id seriously doubt you will get the rest to be as shiny.
And as nick said, i would leave the sides yellow, with anthracite gte bumpers.
The nice shiny jamaican yellow sides look ace 8)

oh right, to simulate vynal ?

good idea, but why not try get it re-vynaled ?

[probert_nova]

yeah thats the idea, i don't wanna get it re-vynaled coz i find it sends the car rotten if water gets behind it etc. i know it wounld'nt any time soon but it might in the future. also i sprayed the one side myself when the origional vynal started peeling and i think it looks alot better.

Looks top, i think the vynal would suit it with the dark bumpers n wheels. :wink:

[hendrix]

looks seriously nice that mate. a yellow nova is the only one i would consider owning at the moment

[shy witness]

thats lookin good mate................lookin 4ward 2 seeing it finished............i actually think it looks better with the bottom of the doors done dark...........

keep up the good work

[Adam]

How much did it cost you mate to have the work done if you dont mind me asking :)

And i still think the full yellow, i.e no vinyl looks better on that car.
Thats just my opinion tho :wink:

[probert_nova]

its costin ?400 + the pannels

[Matt2107]

I used to have a 5 door in the same colour.

Its one of the most unusual colours for nova's round my way.

few things left to do, spray under the arches, replace the vynal on boot and pillars. may get the boot spoiler resprayed aswell.
rear bumper also needs tweekin abit more to sit right. got it from another mk1 nova and it seems to need a bit off triming.
will take some pics in the sun coz it looks ten times better.
more pics can be found here
