Cheers everyone!
Hopefully the car should be looking better than it did beforehand ready for Billing.
Th's on now?
Not yet! Would of been by now if I didn't have to pay for this repair work! Will get a price off the fella when I pick the car up and get them dropped off for spraying as soon as funds allow. Would of liked them on for Billing but hey ho!
Well rang the bodyshop disafternoon to see what the score was with the car. It should be ready to roll straight from the bodyshop first thing in the morning, despite the fella saying it'd be ready by Wed at the latest :roll: Talk about cutting it fine!
Furthermore, today was a sad day as I've been evicted from my humble garage due to the old girls gash plans to extend the house!
It's gone from it's prime...

Didn't really stand much chance against most the cars in the line-up but I wonder how many of them are drove everyday through all weather - not many I would think lol
Also got the door sorted and had a few dints smoothed out the roof and the roof resprayed before the weekend. The fella's done a spot on job even though the colour match isn't quite perfect.
Couple of pics of it a Billing anyway...

Cheers dude!Quote:

Ahhh, wondered exactly who you were! Remember you saying your username was Nova sport something or other. Nice to meet you aswell fella, glad you like the Nova. Think I had to keep saying pardon as I'm crap with accents lol Had a good look round your SR too and have to say it was jaw-dropping! Top notch restoration job you've done there - very impressive!Quote:

Seeing it in the pics I thought 'Looks well too low' but when you see it in person it's spot on
Well done Matt! Looked good at Billing mate
Love this car, Fair Play boss!!
Cheers Vaughan! Your car looked spot on aswell, pics don't do it justice tbh.
Cormac, nice to chat to you at the weekend fella, your swing is incredible!
:thumb:
Cheers mate :thumb:
Well the car has started running like bag o' crap. Diagnosed last night that cylinder 1 isn't firing causing misfire, stutter, loss of power etc. Tested the HT leads and the lead for cylinder 1 is funked so a new set of leads and spark plugs have been purchased...
http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...t/DSC00918.jpg
Had a bit of a Halfords trade card bargin - the leads retail at £24.99 and the plugs £9.99 - got the lot for £11.99 :) Should sort it out hopefully...
Just swopped the bits over and it now runs like some sort of dream :thumb:
nice one, looks mint!
