I opted with the new doors as both original doors were showing a tiny amount of rust and as I had the new ones I thought I may as well use them etc. Its actually only slightly out so we may be able to improve it but if not Its not something that will worry me really as on the whole its come out really well. All novas tend to have them small flaws that their owners arent happy with and I guess mine will be no different! But as said overall Im really happy with how its looking. :)Quote:

Its probably something that will never be noticed once the rub strips are on. Its not like many people crawl round on there hands and knees at shows and thats the only real angle you would notice it.Quote:

top work!!
Very true... we will attempt perfecting though! If it can be done without ruining the gaps elsewhere as they are all very good we will. Its actually come out much better on the whole than I expected to be honest and I just cant wait to have it finished to rack some miles up! Next week fingers crossed.Quote:

A quick halftime update after a prompting from Mr Robinson! I cracked on over the easter hols and had the bonnet finished ready to go straight back on once we were back in on tuesday. The tailgate was filled with dinitrol and built up followed by the rear screen in and spoiler on. It was actually a different spoiler to what was on the car as I pretty much destroyed the old one when I removed it! Once fitted we noticed it didnt want to sit right on one of the top corners due to it obviously being very slightly twisted and spoiler tape not being strong enough to alter/hold it in postion. So we have tried to sort this by lifting up that corner and pumping in a little spoiler adhesive then taping it down to hold it in position like so........

Hopefully that will sort the problem or I'll be looking for a new spoiler at a later date. The quarters/doors were then filled to the hilt with dinitrol followed by my new interior cards and the rear half of the cage too......

We've since also tried again with minor adjustments to the passenger door and catch in an attempt to perfect it before the mouldings went on etc. It has improved slightly but still isnt perfect however It is a minor flaw of an overall excellent job so I will live with it. Brand new mouldings were then carefully lined up and added today too. Now the finishing touched are going on the cars starting to look excellent....

Just the passenger seat and front half of the cage to add really build up wise then a huge cleaning mission as the cars covered in dinitrol,copper slip,overspray and dirty paw marks not to mension filler dust but I didnt expect anything different with spending a few weeks sat in the workshop! Im just currently trying to find the roll of red pinstripe in the loft then i can add that tommorow etc. More hopefully at the weekend guys. Big thanks to Keith by the way for a few emergency parts shipped from ireland in uber quick time! Thanks for reading, comments welcome!

Awesome work, car looks lovely! Can't wait to see it "cleaned" for the first time, and some proper daylight on it!
