Thats it now. All finished on my part, Keith should be in tomoz so i can talk to him about paint.
Good stuff as always Benn! Where's the top hose going to run now?
It will come out, then under the slam, join with the turbo feed one, then thru and up the inner wing to the scuttle to the header tank.
Cheers.
Good work Benny boy!
rep coming ur way ;)
EDIT: no rep your way as I need to spread the love more :(
Cheers Si, and thank you almost.
this is the first time ive ever seen this thread for some strange reason and i just went through every page looking at everything that you have done. You have a really nice nova btw. but i respect the amount of patience, deication and passion you seem to put in. Nice one
Looking good dude. Repped!
You will need a LET to make the thing as fast as the XE with all that filer weight hehe
Thank you very much Nova saloon, hope you enjoyed the read, if you look at my mig thread theres links to if all first being done, painted and smoothed and so on.
Trust me AW all the filler is rubbed out, spent all day sanding it all back. Cause its all hard to get to places.

Not rushing anything like time.

Yes :( get fully open it, the rest doesnt look like its got wet tho.

First time i have had a look at your thread in a good wee while. The smoothing is coming on nice, its going to look brilliant.
About time you got a LET aswell! Took your time lol Its really going to round it off perfectly.
Cheers dude. :)
