Nova sport

Ahh Paul Woodcocks Sport. And he hasn't changed much since I last saw him about 5-6 years ago.
Nice to see it in the open again.
I never got to see it rebuilt after he bent it.
Still is a very good example.

Just back from collecting the bumper, 5 minutes in the garage with a heat gun and hey presto its now spot on!!

Good progress though. Nice write up.

Missed this comment Craig, If you remember the show the sunday mornign was damp to say the least and Paul had trouble starting the car, there was a croud of people trying to help and I opened my big mouth joking and asked if anyone was a mechanic and Ady (red hutchinson cabby) opened his mouth and said no but you are can you fix it and I spent most of the mornign sorting out what turned out to be a flooded set of plugs.

Little did I know what i'd be doing now to it, but being honest I can't wait to get cracking on bolting it together now

Had the day of today so dida few little bits and bobs on the car,

Firstly dropped some more parts off with the powder coaters, and the bits i've already taken up are ready to be done, should all be ready to collect tuesday,

And thats as far as i've got for now....

Off to the classic car show tomorrow at the NEC so I have a small shopping list to sort then collect powder coating and plating on Tuesday

Hold the camera still dude!

Its crap on the lense from my sons sticky fingers lol

Seats look like they've come up well, trims look good.

Nice progress.

How much is it costing you to powder coat them bits n pieces?

WOW ive not been on here for aaaaaages and one of the first posts i see is this one. Good work Mark so far. May have to keep popping back to see this done.

This was one of my favourite sports from when i had my first one and Jennifer (i think it was) owned this one. Got some pics of it from a show that Stu Tyson organised up in Cumbria when me and Tony drove up in ours.

Good days those.

Good progress Dude, is all the stuff just sandblasted in the pics? Didn't know the lock surrounds should be black!
