Dude, looks awesome! I might have missed it but why was the window not masked up?
looking good chum.......:thumb::thumb::thumb:
Thanks Benn.
There was a dust sheet covering the inside but he left the window unmasked as he had to paint the inside of rear screen lip due to corrosion.
Thanks Novasport.
Ah cool.
UPDATE
Popped down to the bodyshop briefly to drop off the rear glass for them to re-fit. Took some snaps of it almost fully mopped. Only the passenger side was left.
Was looking shiny if I say so myself.
The GTE rear bumper getting some rub down treatment.

The snowplough needed more work though. The paint had flaked in a few areas and the guys said that the bumper has lost a bit of shape, it's a bit warped. They'll be trying their best to remove all the old paint, give it a good rub down and painting.

Had to leave the shop to go sort something out, which took almost all day, but I returned just before they shut to give them the front heated screen for them to fit. He was preparing the GSi spoiler and painting the wing mirror surrounds. He pointed me in the direction of the underside.

Now before anyone says anything, I know what you're thinking... but no he hasn't missed any areas. The under seal was still very wet and the flash was being reflected back hence it looking like it wasn't covered. He used Tetra Schutz on his special applicator gun on an airline. So it got into every nook and cranny. The arches were also done.
Some pics of the Nova with the rear glass back in, door handles painted and on, petrol cap repainted in black.

The guys spoke to me about the snowplough. Firstly, the driver side metal bracket on the bumper (which slides into the guide on the wing) was half there, then they cautioned me that the snowplough being a bit warped could mean that when painted it may show up it's non-straightness.
Anyway we offered it on to the front to make sure it was ok.
To me it still looked fine and you'd really have to search for the un-straight/warped bit. I hadn't noticed it before and feel that only the trained eye will spot the ploughs imperfection. At the end of the day its a 25 year old piece of plastic.
looks good mate
looking smart mate!
is such a nice feeling getting it back from the bodyshop
Thanks lads.
It sure will be a nice feeling having it back :)
