stick weld the engine bay but do it from inside the wheel arches so it doesnt spoil the seems on the bay, that way its hidden and keeps the original look of the car
good thinking..
i love looking in the bonnet of a nova and seeing stitch welds but i wanted to try keep the sport bay looking original..
Why bother stitch welding if it's just gonna be the 1.3? The shell will be perfectly solid once you've finished with it and I'm sure it'll be able to handle the 1.3 POWER.
Progress looks good anyway fella!
it should take the 1.3 no problem.. was just thinking to add strenght and for handling?
i dont plan on building this car just to look good! i want it round some tracks etc!
stitch weld gets my vote,
if you intend on using it properly :thumb:
Ahh, fair play if your gonna be giving it some stick around track. In that case strengthening the shell up a bit is a good idea. I like Novacabrio's idea of stitch welding from underneath to maintain an original looking bay.Quote:

Early SR interior is pretty much the same as the Sport interior - Saves me money buying another interior mate :)
But you will put the none splitting kind into a car with spitting brackets and possibly make the Sports new owner(Sorry for spamming a great thread dude) do visa versa
