Nice. Matching fabrics always sound and look nice. Wanna do the roof skin of my Nova in the same stuff as I trimmed the rear shelf in. The lining I trimmed a few years back really has faded so it won't look great :(
air file FTW awesome tools.
Looks beautiful as always Benn.
Keep us updated.
Coming on well dude - when is it due for repaint?
Tek, gotta be matching it looks the best, re re trim it dude.
Craig, they are awesome, i have a plug in the wall one its really handy.
Lewis, cheers dude.
James, off to primer the roof in a bit, hopping for paint tue/wed.
looking good as always
Cheers Ricky.
Looks good ben, love the metal, red, blue bits on the roof!
lol I don't, well its all primed now. Will be flatting it off tomoz. Then i can see if the ripples have come out.
Sat morning the roof was check then had a light skim of stopper over the welds as it was perfect. The the whole roof was high build primered.

Spent this evening flatting the roof off. One thing i hated about working in the bodyshop was flatting off primer, its a hateful job and i really hate it. Did it all with a long block to make sure its ripple free.
All ready for paint now.

Wanted to re wire my fuel pump for a while, as it was done quickly the first time and wasn't very neat at all.
Dan was able to find me some wire.. See "some" to be enough to do 2 Nova's.

Nice and thick core.
Untidy and badly run,
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...ringloom12.jpg
Had 3 joins in too..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...ringloom13.jpg
No the plug wiring had been cut and joined from the guy before.. It was very badly done. It fell off the crimp when pushed out..
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...ringloom15.jpg
Re soldered. So that the same gauge wiring does all the feed, so from plug run in to the fuse box (own fuse in spare hole) then to the pump.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...ringloom18.jpg
Way way better.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...ringloom19.jpg
So its been re routed to be much tidier,
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...ringloom12.jpg
Under side.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...ringloom21.jpg
As in pic above the ground was re made too, was in the chassis leg. But what better ground is there than the battery, as its almost right above the battery it was run to it.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...ringloom22.jpg
Much better and safer.
Now while the side trims is out, i've cleaned it fully with a good scrub and these looked very tidied..

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...iringloom6.jpg
To all nice and stained black... Mucho better.

Nick.
Did you paint the car benn? + have you got a thread from when the car was still red.
Cheers Nick,
I my self didn't no, wouldn't be able to paint it my self as i want it perfect. So i know i wouldn't be happy with anything i can do. Even tho my paint work flat and polishes up ok.. I'd be too judgemental oh it on my car.. If that makes sense.
My Mig build thread as more.. Has the painting the first time. But i lost alot of the bodywork pics when my hdd died and photobucket had a fail.
First thread..

good work chap, does he blow it in? can you tell once its done?
What? Do you mean the roof?
Whole thing will be painted, back masked under the roof rails and blow/blended down the A pillars. You wont see a thing.
meant to say roof, i need to get some bits done and wondered whether a blow in shows or not, i've only ever got the entire shell done. most of the repairs i've seen show shade changes.Quote:

Hi Benn
Dont mean to pick faults but the power feed for the fuel pump should go down the passenger side then through a small gromit in the boot strait to the pump.
Apart from that great work as normal..
You shouldn't see anything with a blow in, but being black will make it harder. I'd get the roof painted to be safe.Quote:

***EDIT! found the problem, extra fitting kit also required, would have been handy to have that on the advert! will struggle to get them in place for 1/4 mile action on sunday now!
ps. good work as always!
Mine push thru the holes on the fan, thru the rad. On the back you should have a square bit of plastic with a hole in it, that slides down the plastic finger thing.
Like a cable tie..

Cars in the bay all masked up ready to be painted in the morning.
