I like it that you've got the guts to start over because you've improved your skill at welding. :thumb:
I find it funny that all the vauxhalls are now starting to look like this anyway. lol
First time iv checked this in a long time! You have been a busy boy i see :cool:
Loving it, don't know why but I am!!
Wow ade thats a drastic move but it will be beneficial in the long run, you might wanna check the fit of the nearside wing as on the frontal shot it seems to havg lower than the other one, i know the bolts to the front panel arent in but it might be worth having a look see just to be sure:thumb:
Hmm. Punto slam panel look much easier on the eye. Good move.
those that asked I'm not changing the body kit - although it will need some tweakage.
And Spud - aye the wing needs fettling - it wasnt bolted on so sipped a tad.
Ahhh no worries, i thought that might be the case but thought it prudent to point it out just in case:thumb:

Spent most of the day at work but spent a few hours on the front end of Puntova. Managed to line up the slam panel perfectly and the wings need nor fettling at all!
My Nova original centre bar that runs in the middle of the radiator to support slam panel was f00ked so I salvaged the reinforcement from the underside of the old Punto bonnet I bought yrs ago (knew it'd come in handy some day!) and made 3 support bars - 1 in the middle and 2 either side to support the corners of the lights. I removed the wings then exposing the holes between the bacls of the new slam panel and the existing inner wings.
Tomorrow evenings game is to clean up welds, fabricate panels and weld up said holes.
Had a slight accident towards end of evening - mega burn across soft flesh on palm of hand as I vaulted out of the engine bay and used the new freshly welded (and very hot) centre of the slam panel to aim in supporting body!
Smelling your own cooked melted flesh is never good. have a HUGE burn across half of hand - stings like feck!
ouch not nice i spent 2 days last week welding in work. I burned my head/back/arms and legs lol even managed to burn my heel lol
