Needed to get some front suspension on the nova tonight so we can get it down to the workshop.
We started like this:-

Found some old struts that came off a corsa and some old 60mm springs where 1 of them had rusted a coil off the bottom. Only prob is that I left my spring compressors at home which meant couldn't get the top mounts on. So oh sod it and out came the grinder!

Obviously not a permanent fixture and not really any progress but a jolly good laugh none the less! lmao

Stripped the wings off and was pleased to see it was all clean underneath...

And while having an icecream I offered up my tigra washer bottle. I've bent the tab down to clear the wiper linkage and will weld a bracket in with captive nut and it will be accessable through the motor hole...

Next will be out with the grinder to get ready for the plating kit!
little update.
thought I'd treat dad on father's day and let him work on the engine. He got the pistons and crank in and bolted up I painted the head he'd put together during the week. I actually remembered to paint the exposed cap on the dizzy end this time too! lmao
