Nice, maybe a scuttle cover would look good.
The beauty of having two is I have bits from either, I have a carbon scuttle cover which I have taken off the black one, although.Quote:

love this car good work matey :)
How's this car coming along now days???
a little update...
i lost the storage space that HUA was hiding in so i was given very little notice that it had to move, i had no choice but to insure, MOT and tax it. This has prompted the spring clean. lots of chromed bolts are showing a breakdown of the plating and i've removed all of these and re-buffed them to asssess the chrome plating breakdown,

the same can be said of the chrome door locks, headlight bolts and a few others. The plan is to get another set of bolts and locks and have them all chromed as a replacement set, once they are on i'll get the orginals re done and have them as a spare set or put them on the black turbo. The bonnet stay has also been cleaned and polished to bring it back up.

header tank off, silicones cleaned, jubilee clips polished, tank buffed and re-fitted - the header will need to be re-done by a polisher with more grunt as my one is rubbish and doesn't generate enough heat or force.

ive found a company round the corner that provide shot blasting and the plan is to take the tie bars, bottom arms, rear beam and possible the gearbox off and get them blasted and powdercoated. i've also got some bearing topmounts from comp brake that i was going to put on the black one but given they are black, would look great on HUA.
The fearless brace that of got off Nick a few years ago and has been on the turbo may also be re-united with HUA.

:thumb::) :thumb:
Hi Jeff just wondering whatever came of the fearless strut brace group buy?
If there any chance of getting it running again?
PM me, thanks Chris
mine failed but Benn managed to get some. I'm not sure if he arranged it though.
I’m boosting this thread as I always wanted to buy it so do you still have it?
I do, are you feeling flush?
Hard to believe it was that long ago you bought it from me Jeff.
Beautiful take on a Nova, would be good to see it again.
