i need to give them a bit of a paint bu they are in good nick to start with!
Also priced up a set of meriva 1.7 td 280mm discs at £47 for a pair, does this sound reasonable!
Then onto removing the windows as ive got a full set of tinted none etched glass to fit, and also before the glass is fitted the door pillar vinyl will be being removed as it isnt high enough for the window surrounds!

Comments welcome, cheers guys :thumb:
That's an awesome shell by the looks of it. Good stuff.
I did a little bit of work on the nova tonight, it involved a hairdryer, a nova badge and lots of swearing, what an **** of a job this is:
I needed to take the door vinyl off as when i fit the window surrounds the standard merit door vinyl isnt tall enough to line up the window surrounds, so i set about it with a hairdryer!
This is a pic before i started removing it:

Then a picture off the vinyl itself removed but with the glue still present:

Then finally got all the glue off after rubbing a blister into my dam finger, i dont know whether it will affect how the new door vinyl takes to the b pillar if there is excess glue left on but anyhoo, still have the other side to do yet!

Then got all the b pillar vinyl off and decided to have
a go at the door pillar vinyl, only to find it was painted on :wtf:

So looks the car has had a new door at some point in its life so
its a good job i am refitting the right door vinyl, i think it will
just have to sit over the top of the paint!
This is what it looks like done!

Thats all the progress i have so far, i think the next to
come out will be the dash in favour of a mk2 dash as
the mk1 dash really doesnt do anything for me at all!

Slight bit of progress tonight :thumb:
I have a full set of un etched tinted glass so got on to fitting that,although i cant fit the whole lotas i need to order up some b pillar vinyl to match the height of window surrounds i did fit the front screen for now and think it looks cracking over standard glass!
First of all i fitted the string under the seal and then offered it up to the window:

Then this is pretty mch in but couldnt get it too sit right for some reason but had to push it into place,

Once i sorted it sitting properly it sat a treat!
