yea the weather isnt helping but when you can get stuck into it!!
In all honesty it'll be April or May, I spend the summer playing with cars and the winter working and playing in the snow lol
it'll be a long term job, not one to be rushed but hopefully by this time next year the shell will be fixed and painted.
who do you get to weld stuff for you
sweet fella will be nice to see it get done but if you take your time with it at least it will done properly!!Quote:

well was up looking at this today and thats about it lol
ive decided to go for a new decomp plate of 2mm to give me a cr of 8.5:1 and run that for a while to see how it goes.
still looking for a genuine gm front panel and other wee bits but im going to abandon my inner wing project shell and cut it up to allow progress on this.
hopefully i'll be able to work on this by next month once ive cleared some space.
updates to follow soon.
I got all giddy and thought you'd finished it then lol
Looking forward to the hard graft you "will" put in this year lol
OPC have front panels mate either complete or in two bits
my wallet just freaked out at reading ocp lol, im waiting on a man getting back to me about one here, saves the shipping costs, failing that i'll be splashing more cash with them lol,
parts list at last stock take
full boot floor
2 rear chassis legs ( second-hand )
2 new quarter panels
new rear panel
2 new full sills
2 new full front chassis legs
2 new innerwings
parts still needed are
front panel
battery tray repair section
parts needing fabrication
small areas on forward floor,
front splash guards
rear inner arch's
and ill need this all done by june ish so i can still get it painted in the summer!!
Made in Scotland sticker needed for the front window for the finale lol
lol im off my bloody head, ive had to scale down some of the plans, the engine might not even get the turbo kit either untill the funds allow the purchase of DTA management and corsa VXR pistons and rods, the collection of parts is nearly over, so now i can start working and planning the body and paint work.
its staying as it was style wise apart from no rear lower spoiler and no speedlines.
Well this should be in a museum when finish as it will have more new parts than any nova :clarkson voice: in the world :clarkson voice:
lollol basicaly from the bulhead forwaed will be brand new, just hope it all works out according to plan
