Cheers guys I'm rather happy.
Cant see me breaking plug but can put your name down. Bonnets can be bought from another place online though. I asked about a boot today but it would be gel coated and have to be painted which is just pointless so the search continues.
i know Colin I'm hoping everything goes together nicely
Was only joking anyway buddy, where's the update lol I've been busy today on mine well a donor
Haha no updates not been over. Cba with the drive today tbh
nice one :thumb:
Excuses excuses lol tbh I thought it was Saturday for a minute then and realised its Friday haha
Haha other than being lazy I don't have an excuse I don't work Friday when working nightshift so been off since 3am this morning. Maybe go over tomorrow but prob won't get up early enough lol
This in paint yet then!!!! Haha
Haha nah not quite, not been to see it since the last pics I put up. Going to go on Friday so fingers crossed I'll have an update for it. Just been far too lazy to go out and see it.
I'll be glued to png on Friday then awaiting these pics can't wait to see some progress on this
Well I've got zero to update on. Car is back on its wheels one again Though. It required around another 2 days of welding/ fab work then will be blasted, primed and rear quarters put on.

Unfortunately on hold for a wee while. Guy at the shop is flat out. I could have had it done this week and home but had to say no as I've no space in my garage at the moment and didn't want to put it in my lockup.
How comes theres no lower bulk head modifactions to get tranfer box inQuote:

A till some choppy choppy to come yet then
Yup, with the front end all being brand new didn't want to just go hacking at it until we know for sure where it needs cut.
mental! what are you cleaning down engine bay wit before painting?
Progress progress progress !!!
Have to get on zombies again some time soon mate.
hopefuly have some progress on my reshell next week
Cleaning the bay is the least of my worries haha it'll just be blasted again, primed and painted I'd think?
Not it sure if there's progress or not, not been out to see it since I took that pic above too busy with life at the moment unfortunately. Aye we'll get a game when my life is a bit less hectic not got a minute to myself at the moment. Nightshift doesn't help matters. Nice one I'll keep an eye out for your thread then.
Owned these for a good few years now but only just picked them up last weekend! I'll defs be using these over the speedlines.

nothing else happened to this mate?
The last of the welding is getting blitzed next weekend. Then the whole thing will be blasted and primed and I'll get it home!
ideal mate, your nova popped into my mind the other day, thought id pop back on see if there was any progress
Ive barely touched mine will get some updates soon
Sitting like this just now....

I'm hoping it's all tidy for me going over next weekend. I'd weld it myself but I want it to look good haha so my mate is doing it for me.
aye you'll need to get cracking with yours bud
Floor is all welded up now. Got some strengthening to go in the rear quarters on the inside, some fillers on the floor at the front where the tube comes through and bits at the bulk head to do. Hopefully get them done next weekend.

Where did you get the wheel tubs from?

Cheers bud. Motorsport tools rings a bell. They're escort tubs and turrets
Was good to see some progress today bud hope it continues ;)
Nice work, that will be nice and rigid, should stick to the road :thumb:
Masterful; this is going to be stronger than RoboCop's Cock.
Cheers folks, such a buzz to have some more work done. It's defs needing the inner quarter panels made up, it's got a bit of movement there with it having no support. Fingers crossed most of it is finished next weekend. I need to get a block, box and transfer box in to see what needs cut up front.
Looking good, wish my welding was that tidy.
It's because you need to set it to 11/10
9+ just melts Nova panels....
Haha my workmate who is a welder did it for me. I didn't want to weld it myself and look shit haha
nothing done today unfortunately, my mate was busy so next Saturday as long as the panels have been made.
Pure quality welding and engineering baz :cool:. Make sure you get those welds tested :dlol
Are you fitting carbon rear quarters Baz ?
Cant remember what you d decided on now ?
Aye all the welds will be getting ndt'd :thumb:
unfortunately not Paul, something else I was messed about with...I've got 2 sets of fibreglass ones instead though. Still need a carbon boot too. Won't be settling for a fibreglass one that's for sure.
It's true Ben panels are a mare to weld, but this is tube & alike; much more fun!
IMO FRP tailgate's not too bad at all; get the early one, smooth it all up & pin it down - DONE!
