Nova sport

Everything in the pictures and including the blasting of the shocks came to £220. For that price all parts got blasted, zinc primed and then coated

funking awesome finishes. And the price isn't bad either for all those bits Something I will deffo consider when doing my conversion.

Lastly, Also took Paul to see the car at the bodyshop, He hasn't seen it for 6 months and hasn't seen it in its current form.

Me getting my hands dirty

decided rather than have the lower valance stone chipped to save it from a hammering of stone chips I've suggested it gets done by the same guy that did the stickers for the shocks

Quick pic of how the spare bedroom is filling up!! Lucky it hasn't been decorated since moving in and the carpet (although all the parts are clean) will be getting replaced so no harm done :d

Paul also spent the day doing the gear box, it has come up ok but it isn't finished yet so still a few more hours to spend on it, also the bolts will be replaced so it doesn't look a bit more realistic. We had considered having it blasted by a company we found at the NEC at the weekend but that would of been alot more expensive and all the bearings would of needed removed and replaced, not ideal as its just had a full strip and rebuild

and a coat of Honda Satin Silver

Also no picture yet but Paul collected the rest of the nuts and bolts from the platers. As well as the Zinc gold plating we've had done there have several nuts and bolts done in Zinc Black, a matt/satin black finish that protects against rust and is more or less what most of the bolts would of been done new, although when new i'm sure they just got dipped for a second and out, these have a nice thick coating and look brilliant

Paul is now traveling back home so its all back to me (you'll also notice the poorer qualirty pics starting again :d )
