Getting there guys!
Dan
Seats are sexy as fook! You just need to get the rear bench done now mate.
Liking this alot!!
cheers Jay, undisided on what rear seats to go for?!
what about GSI rears, but with the coloured center sections retrimmed in a similar fabric to the buckets? Shouldn't be to difficult to just do the middle bits, and would match the fronts really well.
I made my slam panel brace removeable today
Cut this piece out to bolt it to.

I have now painted the bonnet.. will get some pictures when its dry
All I have to do know is mount the slim line fan, fit the bumper and grill and get the brake lights to work.. So if all goes to plan she will be on the road very soon!
Oh and I have ground a bit off the gear linkage to stop it from touching the starter..
Dan
nice :) did the bonnet paint up ok? steve didnt come in and lean on it? lol
we need a photoshoot once yours is back on the road mate
Ooooh it's getting close lad!
Paints ok but I think it wants more as its a tad thin in areas...
And yes Dan we are very close to completion :) (thank Fu£K)
you got enough paint left?
Nope I have used 4 tins of gloss now aswell :(
fookin hell, thats a fair bit, especially for white :eek: though suppose you have done both sides and the scoop. not as good as my 1 can for 4 wheels is it though lol
No it bloody aint. 3 of the tins werethe big 500ml ones aswell :/
oh dear :( probably would have been cheaper to use proper paint in the gun
there only 3.19 a tin trade :) one more and it will be fine :)
Nova is on the road :)
Have some issues though..
Alternator is tempremental
and one of the boost pipe keeps blowing :( easy fix though!
other than that she is pretty good :)

No oil cooler at the minute mate.. need some fittings.. will be on for pv though! :)
Well set about sorting a few thing out yesterday..
Started by cleaning the bay and the header tank.

http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01522.jpg
Any way.. I emptied the cooling system. refilled with water and added one of these..
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01523.jpg
Left it running for half an hour and flushed the rest of the system with the good old hose pipe
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01524.jpg
I then wired up my fan using a 4 pin relay and a on/off switch inside the car..
http://i818.photobucket.com/albums/z...t/DSC01525.jpg
I also noticed the gear box mount bolt was tocuhing the box and slowing making a hole in it so I shortened the original bolt by about 5mm.. job done :)
and here are some on the road pictures
