looks spot on mate .wat colour are you doing it in..av you got an engine ready....

[General Baxter]

and heres me thinking you were rolling it in to the sea lol


edit: that would get the paint off lol

[meritlover]

ive heard its windy in shetland, but didnt think it would blow your car over! you should take time to support it or use an anchor to the ground ot you will loose the beautiful nova over the cliff!!

it is a nice solid example! treat it well and it will treat you well!!

[fearless]

Get some sort of paint on that bare shell - Sand blasted metal won't like the bare elements of fresh Shetland Sea air

Looking good so far

[simonr1]

looking good though chap, did you do any damage tipping it up like that?

[samuelfraz]

no damage at all to body.i did smash the n/s door glass it was wound down but think i got it with the shot blaster haha oh well never mind.have u got a project just now??

[simonr1]

yeah im doing one at the moment, need to paint underneath so i might tip mine up

[samuelfraz]

it is alot easier to work on on its side rather than up side down. i also have framesmade up so a i can roll the car 360 degrese so that is a good help.wht nova u got

[simonr1]

it was a 1.2 but now its a stripped out xe

[samuelfraz]

cool just seen your project thread its looking good. you got any photos o your chassis cut out for alternator.??

[simonr1]

should be a pic of it in the thread mate, if not i will put one on when i get home

[samuelfraz]

oh yeah sorry i see it looks good. was not sure if mine was far back enough but think it is.

[simonr1]

i think mine could of done with going further back, but its a bit late now lol just have to use a smaller belt!
