i think project wise your better of with a cheap nov youl save hundreds unless the shell has no rust and you have all the bits otherwise good look at least at that stage you can fully stitch and seal everything

Nova-Dan
31-03-07, 08:31 PM
the shell is mint pretty much,there a tiny bit on 1 arch and a bit near exhaust but thats it,when i get my new front panel on itl be rust free mostly

ha ha! no you wont. I thought i would do that too, it will take about 3 good days to get all the old panel out and grind away all the ****, make plates and weld the panel on.

took me a couple hours, just a case of drilling out spot welds? :confused: why do you need to make plates

greg1.4
31-03-07, 10:32 PM
took me about 5/6 hours taking the old panel out. But i mean it will take longer than a day to do everything and have it seam welded if he is going too.

i needed to make plates on inner wings and a few more places.

Nova-Dan
21-04-07, 08:40 PM
the reason i got little pregress today was because of jimmy aka the nob,him and my brother have fallen out so jimmy is movingo ut of workshop,so he decided to swap my good bonnet and give me a **** 1 so im correcting it back next time,he also decided he wanted my window souraounds and tried taking them off on outside as car was locked and he failed so i spent all day fitting it back on as i had to take all window and bla bla bla,finally finished and started on strut brace,because of the time jimmy caused me i decided to nick his vauxhall trademarked mudgaurds as pay!
