I should have some more pics during the week!

Vaughan

it is great that these panels are still available. how is the fit? do they need to be fettled/scared into positions or do they violate with other parts?

Don't have a clue mate - Cut the old panel out, tack the new one on, check fitment, then put on the real welds

I think that was the plan of attack with mine :)

i see. mr MC thank you and keep up the good work with your project!!!!

Cheers mate

Will do :)

making some more progress now mate

Good work boss, any progress since?

Front panel is all undersealed etc and painted red

Don't know for sure though - Should be back today :)

didnt really take long to get her welded once it was started..

i think you should save for a full re-spray..will be WELL worth it imo. ;)

Aye we'll wait and see about a respray lol

Need to make it road legal 1st :)

looking good mate, nice to see some younge lads working on cars and not causing trouble lol, hope to see it at pv

Aye hopefully she makes PV - Not got too much to do :)

Cheers mate - Can't wait too see her all painted up etc

Held my Predator spoiler up against the car - Looks like it will be mega once its on :)

Back to work on the Nova

Got most of the interior plastics in that were taken out for the welding etc

Stripped the back seats out as they weren't secure and put the passenger seat back in

Got my Cavalier alloys on as well as they have better tread for the MOT and got the front bumper and number plate on as well - Needs straightened up though

I doubt they'd be able to request all drivers under the new age limit to retest.
It'd just be a new age limit for new drivers.

I'm only coming 16 in May though...

Anyway back on topic for the next update :)

Got all the underside of the car undersealed with the spray on stuff - Went on well with no problems, easier than the brush I found

I still need to brush the inner arches - They have been done anyway but theres some primer overspray on them

The front end has all been done with Body Schutz along with the front inner arches :)

My dad also put on the front anti roll bar (in red) which looks awsome from underneath

Next in-line should be the painting then MOT

good luck with mot test :thumb:

Cheers mate :)

looking good mate keep it up :thumb:

Shes going for an MOT on Saturday

Hopefully she passes!!

good luck vaughan, hope she passes :thumb:

Good luck
