Ive decided my car is mint after looking through those!!

Fair play chap, got your work cut out there (no pun)

[shy witness]

go ahead mate...................thats a big big project...........

but personally i think its worth it.........

[jbowman]

Man, thats some extensive work you're undertaking, all he more credit to you mate. Nice to see that another Sport isnt going to the scrappies.

[TommySR]

looks like a massive project but should be worth it once its done. Id love a Sport.!

[shy witness]

[mikey14sr]

AndysNovaSport (http://www.andysnovasport.co.uk/) look here for another extensive restoration, also has a forum purely for Sport's

[LUV2XLR8]

thats one hell of a sport fella's, both of those rebuilds ;)

[NOV4_SPORT]

the original stickers are no longer available, but there are some very good signwrighters out there to do replica ones, iv been in contact with a pall of mine and as iv got a section of the original vinyl not used, he can make a very good replica, not sure how much , but its a pall son hopefully not to much,its a big project but iam really determained to see it right through, cheers for the suport people and hopefully i will get it down to billing this year for its first show .:thumb:

[krobinson]

Cant help but think you'd be better off getting some new inner wings and turrets, rather that welding in big sections. How do you plan on making it look original where you've welded?

You've got loads of work to do there, fair play to you, i wish i could weld as i'd love to take on a project like that.

i wish i had now mate , as it would have looked a lot better i know, but i will smooth out the welds and smooth the whole engine bay with body filler and that should hopfully look the part, just like your nova .

[cheshiresport]

It will look good when its done mat, you will be able to hide the welds good enough. Ive had to do the same on mine but not quite to the same extent.
