Cracked on yesterday with it being nice 1st job was sorting door out. Cut rot out of corner made a little plate and tacked it in. Ground it down and gave it a skim of fibrefill then a skim of filler. Rubbed down then a few coats of primer sorted. Got door back on and fitted the tinted sr glass I had off my sr I broke. Looks so much better.
Then once that sorted I fitted the side skirt on the drivers side. Then fitted decals to the th's so got a bit sorted. Just need a wing now. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9b31b84eb0.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6776cf0e51.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0c11e896fc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ce3b30e96f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4924316997.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a42a7f73c5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fa77eb1877.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c4737232b8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e29df821ee.jpg

Looking good. What's left to do ? And when do you think it will be completed?
Quite a bit yet lol.
Looking good mate. I should really start working on mine myself but my bodywork and welding skills are pretty poor so think a bodyshop will get the pleasure of it!
Cheers pal .
I've been busy sorting odd jobs on the nova. Spun it round to get other side primer and sealed up. I've been setting up gaps on the wings aswell. I've been struggling to get the n/s wing gapped up right. I've noticed this is due to the fact the door hinges have been cut off at some point before I got the car and welded in the wrong position. So I now need a front pillar so I cut the old one out and weld in new to sort the gap out on the door. Here is said pic of the dodgy hinges. Any one got a scrap shell they could cut the panel out for Me? https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0bd9612ba9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1fc4ffe0aa.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...41f1ee8ce9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...24ee4bfaed.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0c432e18c9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3f1c528385.jpg

After more digging out filler on the pillar it looks like the door has been hit bending the pillar area making the door fit bad. So here are some pics. Anyone scrapping a shell they could cut the area out for me ? Cheers. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...eda4e14072.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1e498e7de2.jpg

looking good buddy.
Cheers pal. Have you a scrap shell with a good n.s pillar?
Been busy drilling spot welds out. Quite a few I must say. Flitch panel removed. Then came cutting the pillar out.
Inner sill is minty fresh behind as is the rest so all good. On with the repair pillar next weekend also need some gas to weld it on. Will update next week. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9e8932f07c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...087e0441ae.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...157444d2b7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ae866dcf19.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...724c23a7e0.jpg

Update. Need some help on this. I've found a other pillar which I have welded in but the problem is the door gap is exactly the same as before. Iam at a loss to what is causing this! Any one shed some light on it. Here is a pic. It's tight at the top and wide as it meets the lower point of the pillar. Also I have a big wing to door gap. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f8e01463aa.jpg

Cheers pal it's been hard to get here losing motivation with the way it was going but I left it and went back so it's paid off.
What's the progress been like mate?
Need to update my project post... lol
Got loads of little jobs done waiting for new cam belt cover to come and odd and sods. Need to get mot on her.
Little update got a new old stock genuine e16se cambelt cover for £12 so well chuffed as rare to find now.
Quick pic:
All left to do now is adjust coilovers and sort exhaust blow. Then mot and go from there more like that will happen after Xmas . Then I need to find somewhere I can paint it.
