Got some Custom -80mm Falkner rear springs Wound ! Sits better in comparison to the front, and the sills are now level !

The back end aint very smooth now, but i'l raise it back up when i use it Next year for comps !

Also bought this badboy cruiser to be my university motorway slag !

ooooooh now you've got me started ! :thumb:

I've Ordered a set of Big Valves for a 1600 Head, and i'm going to slowly build up monster 1600 head, with alot of help from someone !

I'l probably end up with some 320deg cam or something daft !

Then i'l strip it, maybe look into getting the shell Dipped (i.e the Nova Sport chap on JOV) !

Get it all bare-shell Sprayed, Leave it stripped, cage 2 nice Bucket seats (like jims ?) And then go do some Hill-climbs/sprints in it !

I think i'm going to keep the colour too....

Ok on a very very Clean shell like he's using, just not too sure how much of a shell i'd be left with after having i acid dipped lol

It's just a lazy and more efficient alternative to completly Stripping a shell i think, plus as he says, it removes alot of corrosion from places you can't see ! It's worth it if you've got the cash and can't be ****d ****ing around again in 5 years time !

nova's looking great nick, the plans for it sound great, i can't believe you've bought another car, how many cars have you got now lol ?

Sweet, nice pics, car looks great, i like the spoilerless look on yours too!

I wouldn't get the shell acid dipped personally, your never going to be able get the same level of rust protection inside the chassis etc that the acid has stripped away, as when it was made.

Acid dipping - saw this on American hotrod a while ago.... very good results but highlights ALL holes in your shell.

Other alternative is to have the entire shell shot blasted and then powder coated. I think my younger brother got a price of around ?1800 for this for a mini traveller.

Nick
13-09-06, 05:47 PM
