    I regret having mine welded up! as A) theres more metal to go rusty! and B) There is no where for anything to drain out, whether it be liquid or in your current state Grinding Dust!

    or drill holes from mounting your fuel pumps in your battery tray area, causing rain water to drip in

    There is perfect reasoning why he did it though in a lot of rally cars, the force of gravel/water hitting them literally pop's them out. After several stages you end up with a floor pan swimming in water/grit/mud/gravel.

    Normally it sprays all up the rear screen in a Nova (on the inside).

    top project this one mate, have got to agree with everyone them cav turbo wheels look ace on the sedan. some real work gone into it.

    i personally would get a cheap respray sorted, i think its got such potential to be a real good looking car with them rims, dosnt have to be mint, just a bit of shiney white paint and itd look sweet.

    also has anybody else noticed how many white cars are about nowadays, white cars rock!

    Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, “DAMN, what a ride!!”

    I've seen one with full round arches posted on here before. Sure it was blue with red wheel or something? Looked pretty cool anyway!

    Been busy again tonight!

    Got the welder out and had a go. Welded in the anchor point for the harnesses on the tunnel...




    Question for all you competant welders out there - No matter what I adjusted it kept spitting and I couldn't get a decent run. Tried upping the gas, wire feed and finally the amps (blew thru a hole! Grr). Any gen?


    Next up was onto the wiper motor again. Still havn't managed to get round to finding a battery to see if its location would work but thought I'd make the bracket for it anyway!

    Take one Corsa C assembley and chop out the mount bracket...




    Because I'm mounting it the wrong side I need to chop this bit out...




    A little bit of filing later...
