Pauls Nova Turbo Rebuild

lookin good. i like the bonnet vent.

After selling the white XE Nova, I replaced it with this:

Had this for allof a week and a half, its big and boring IMO! Thankfully the wheel bearing gave up the ghost on it the other night, so what a perfect excuse to go and buy this:

Engines coming out of calibra on saturday, and going into the SR sometime soon! :D

Anyway, back to the original project....

The primering has been delayed til next week now due to falling behind schedule :roll:, the filler work is now all done, minus the odd dink here or there. The car is nearly all rubbed down and ready to go too. Just got the bloody seat reail + front foot wells left to do.

Ture true :(

Me and the spot weld drill bit dont get on, it likes going through both skins! lol So i plated it from underneath instead of filling the hole, so to make it level just put a bit of seam sealer over the top.

Hopefully it'll be in primer tonight :)

Finally got the car primered tonight! At last!

Seems to me as its actually nearly there now
