i'm actually looking forward to getting at mine with the welder now.after reading that.

he deserves a multiple prizegiving of blue-peter badges

amazing stuff.

Fook me, thats some project work in that thread!

no update for 6 months tho :(

I bought some inner wings & chassis legs then I read that, don't think I'll be using them unless absolutely necessary!

Aye you sent me that one Rich, that guys a legend :)

Like his comment about not jigging it...
'Before the car was started hundreds of mesurements were took on mine and other novas. Suffice to say with a tape and the power of mathmatics the car is very very straight'
:tard:
Better him than me!

I think its been 'on going' for a fair few years tbh !!
The car used to belong to a local lad about 10 years ago, was a std white J plate GSi, sold on then had a 16v motor dropped in and painted Green, wouldn't supprise me if its been off the road for a good 5 - 6 years.
I don't know the guy who's got it but its in a garage / lock-up in my town, be cool to have a noisey around it sometime.

Rich

Oh God thats in a similar state to mine, what fun lies ahead :( lol

I won't be going as far as new chassis legs though so PHEW!

Good stuff, shame that progress has halted

Brill build!

As said shame no more updates :(

Was watching the progress for a while. Absolute nutter.:thumb:

part of team muppetsport

One of the other members Nic has a c20let corsa which is going to be knocking on the door of 500bhp this year, it was in TOTB last year, i think they have been busy rebuilding that,

But these guys dont **** about,

saw that on there a while back and I couldnt believe someone would put that much effort into a nova! lol

Not in a bad way but jeez thats alot of work.

all i can say is... that guys got patients!!!

love it!

Although now I'm a bit frightened (and comfoirted) by the task i have of replacing both sills and rear 1/4 panels - although I'm only doing the lower sections of 1/4 not the whole rear!

Mega shell resto for sure.

Think its prolly awaiting paint etc. No doubt its one of those 'in no rush to finish' projects which will surprise you in 2011..

yeah have been following that one,its nearly like a flat packed nova he bought, front chassis legs look very hard to do

Not so much hard to do, but require lots of patience!:eek:

One thing that made me cry is he had it shotblasted but then he let the shell go rusty :( There is a pic later in the thread with it covered in surface corrosion:(

Yer sorts it out with some Un-named chemical though..
