Ade, drop Weldequip a PM on mig-welding and grab an auto mask, once you've used one you never go back. I've been using them for about 6 years now.
Hows the welding going? i found it real trick at first and kept welding the wire to the tip of the welding gun which was really annoying as it ment i had to keep taking the welder apart and unravalling the wire etc. however after a bit of practice it really dose become very easy and once you step back and have a look at what you've done it feels really good. the car is really looking smart now mate, i love the idea of the punto lights blended into the nova front end, i'd never ever thought of this before. great car and good luck with the rest of it.
ta - havent even had chance to unpack me welder yet but hsve been warned about the welding the tip thing. Bought some spare tips just incase!
good luck with welding ade, its easy once you know how..
How's the nova coming along mate? you managed any sucsesful welds yet?
lol nah - welders still in its box - havent had 5 mins to do anything.
Dont think I'll get much chance this side of Christmas now tbh - working this weekend and my shifts are right bawstewards between now and next Friday. However I'm off Thursday and then I have a week off 1st week in Jan 08 so will probably mess about then...

More parts gathering today - picked up a set of minted GM front wings from a fellow PNG'er this afternoon. the pattern parts I had were okay but the gaps were a bit out and they seemed a tad short in length at the front (didnt fit the lower valance snuggly).
New ones are perfect (as youd expect from a GM part).
Took a detour via B&Q on the way home and picked up a bandsaw in the sales along with a few other odds n sods...will come in useful.
Off work next week although most of it will be spent away for anniversary - but when I get back the project will pick up big time - deadline is September 2008!
Good to see your still cracking on with this :)
It's like childbirth (so I'm told). The progress is slow - the pain is horrible - it's taking forever - I want it finished NOW - but in the end (hopefully) it'll be worth it!
Or the missus will have it scrapped!
