nah - its actually been nicknamed "Puntova" - or "novunto" due to the punto's lights...
Well today I decided I'd buy a mig welder this weekend. Been poking about the rear arches and think I need to replace them.
No idea on how to weld but bought several books and have a wad of scrap metal so will mess about with that till I'm up to speed.
Work looks fantastic ade, and i'm amazed you've done this without any welding so far !
The only thing i'm worried about is the top half of the car ! With all these super-modern looking bumpers/lights/grill e.t.c isn't it going to look like you've chopped the top half off and replaced it with a poorly designed 80's box ?
Hey how about a roof chop? would look mega neet but be very hard to get looking nice. Has anybody ever seen this done to a nova before?
the top should be okay. The boxy look should fit with the body kit which has sharp lines on it - also I plan to mess about with the spoiler - perhaps extend it a bit (eg new fiesta st style one).
Sorry to post this question in here but i was wandering how to start my own post so i can put up some pictures of my own project?
Ade, looking good. With regarsds to learning to weld hop over to mig-welding.co.uk, there are some good tutorials and a really helpful forum. Mikey14sr and myself both hang about there.

A nice Clarke joggler with hole punch
2 x argon heavy use canisters
and a proper welding mask with flip up face protector and flip up screen
?250 all in. V Happy!
All I got to do now is remember how to feckin weld!
lol
love the car, top work m8, am sure with the amount of time and patience put into your headlight conversion picking up welding wont be a problem. ignore the whole roof chop thing, think that would take it too far with the shape and angles of the car. if you need any help with fibreglassing methods and materials pm me, have done quite a bit of it. lmao at the predicted end date at start of post but top work bud, keen to see finished article:thumb:
