cheers for the link, fancy making me a scuttle cover then ? lol

No problem Andy. lol

Edd, as Andy has found out, no 2 Novas are the same, i could do you one and it wouldn't fit. Or it would need some trimming.

I did Lee H's as well, his and Andys are nothing like each other.

I wont clutter your thread with pics so here's a link, i did my Opel cover with sand paper then gradually graded it down to wet and dry mate, came out quite OK, BUT make sure you use the grits gradually, not leaving any big scratches in it, oh and it was a sweat and swear word job in summer lol

Use card board mate, just cut it rough to the shape on top of the fire wall, then put it in behind it, mark where it need more off, or on, then make another, and try again, and repeat the process on card till it's right,then use something that suits you to make the final cover.
