Wow colour looks really good, will be good to see it when its all bolted back together.
Thats looking fantastic, love the colour. Really cant wait to see it all painted :D
All looking good mate, cant wait to see more pics soon i hope.

Looking good, nice choice of colour.
nice job, the gamble on the colour paid of mate spot on
Looks good Shaun.
I would have been tempted to have stitch welded the engine bay and fitted a plated kit as being as clean as it is, someone if not you will big block it one day and it seems a shame to have to repaint the bay again.
Looking forward to the putting things back on stage.
looks great mate
will be sweet when its all painted
Cheers for the comments guys.
Was a bit concerned about the colour to be honest, but I'm loving it now that it's on the car.
looking good mate, good choice of colour, will be good to see it all painted and bolted back together soon
iain
Top job sweet colour!!
I think its gonna need metallic anthracite bumpers wheels n stuff IMO
It's nice to see a Nova being done like this, shows how good a saloon can look, and most of all, a 1.0:cool:
Good to see the paint is being put on now, starting to look tidy, good choice of colour, one thing i agree with SRimon, it'd look even better with some anthracite to break it up a bit, perhaps the front and back bumpers, wheels and bottom of the car, like the vinyl on SR's would make it look really retro, what do you think?
Shell comes home on Saturday - Re-Build starts then....
Looking forward to it!
2nd that :)Quote:

come on its saturday afternoon, wheres the pics??
Must still be putting it back together, but we still need pics lol
i love that colour great project will look forward to see the final result
Will get pics up hopefully today, but may be hindered as it's the wife's birthday, but she has said it's ok to work on the car. Taking her out for dinner this evening so will post up the pics when I come back. Going food shopping just now, back by 10am, engine WILL be running by midday. Progress is steaming along and it's looking great. Was out at the back of 5 this morning puting the loom in.
Please bear with me......
Sounds like your making excellent progress mate, best of luck with the re-build and cant wait to see some pictures of it with the paint on, whats the finish like? are you pleased with all the work?
Went to collect the car at 10am on Saturday, was home with it and ready to work on it by 11am, engine was in by 12pm. Then in went the rear brake pipes & brake master cylinder, fuel tank, exhaust, pedal box, steering rack. Wiring loom went in this morning at 5am along with the radiator. Had to go shopping but got ?5's worth of fuel, back at 10am, engine was running at 11.40am after having to suck the fuel through the lines as the pump was taking forever and draining the battery due to cranking over for ages. Then onto the A & B pillar trims which is accoustic cloth, then on with the roof lining which is only fixed on the passenger side, waiting for this to dry before tensioning across to the drivers side. Will fit the passenger door rubber and rear passenger window first before doing so. Rear bumper is on along with the rear lights (cheers Steve for the Euro-Fog). Pretty much that's it so far.

:eek: you on some sort of drugs or what?? thats some crazy progress
Good choice of colour mate, and a tidy engine install :)
...You don't hang around, this should be fully built by the end of the week LOL!!
Ha ha, not quite. Just keep everything tidy and no time is wasted searching for things. Also everything was cleaned and/or painted before the car came back.Quote:
