dave mate that looks mint now its come along really well fairplay to you mate:thumb:
lol looking good dave , but you really need to stop picking it up woth a forklift lol
as for novalad , you can lower a nova in half hour with just a jack lol
cheers carl and damian, imo it does look better by alot. but the speedlines look tiny with the gsi front on lol
when we were putting the bumper on, my dad said the old one looked better. pfft lol
well sometime around new year its going in for its mot. been told itll pass for sure ;). after that then for my birthday mum and dad are getting me 6mths road tax and then its going to pvs 08. im leaving the rear 1/4 as theres minter cars there and fixing the 1/4 on mine will really do nothing to benefit me.
so expect to see it at pvs 08 fellas:thumb: it may be on the back of an aa truck but itll be there lol
dont jack a nova up on the sill lol , will bend them all
oh now you tell me lol.
its come a long way and it looks good. keep up the good work matey.

The scissor jack is ok for the sills. But as Carl said a trolley aint a good idea on a sill as the jack moves as it lifts, bending the sill.
Good luck with the mot, a lot of things you cant really check without a ramp etc though. Just check the basic things.
and no front schocks iirc so would have to swap springs over?
removing the lifters tomorrow. because bonnets weak as it is damaged, they are bending the bonnet back up about 3-4mm every time i close it, so going to take them off for time bieng.
front numberplate re-fitted. fulled her up with petrol and charged the battery

althougb have booked it in to have the rear arch fixed and repainted and also for the doors to have rust cut out plated over and sprayed :thumb:
edit:- also next year after pvs08 he'll be coming off the road for new lower valance and general smartening up. hoping i might be able to respray the whole car
and its free too as my uncles teaching me how to do it on them
Hmm, i dont see how you can cut out and plate a door tbh. The skins are mega thin and liable to distort easily if approached with a welder.
If i was you, id do the smartening up etc when you can drive, it seems a waste to get quite a bit of work done/respray, and then have the car sitting about for years????

yes, but if i dont get it done soon ill never get it done atall. ive dome all the general smartening up now, theres not much more i can do, so going to start on the bodywork, as the rear 1/4 really is bad and the doors defo need some attention
and i dont really care if its sat round for a year or 2, id rather it be sitting round for a year all ready to drive rather then all rusted and dented etc. n.o ad lol
I wouldn't tbh.
I couldn't give a fook about how my car would look, if it was sitting off road for a while, just sort it just before you can drive.
Maybe thats just me lol
ye thats just you lol. i want it doing asap as i want it clean as for pvs 08. if i put things off they never get done lol. all my teachers know that with homework lol
goodluck with the project
Fair enough.Quote:

i was going to do the exact same to the bottom of my doors
think i maybe put of now
if need be ill cut out the rust and wire mesh behind it and fill it. aslong as it looks decent then thats all i want.
