If your removing the front panel...... Id trial fit everything on the front end once a tack weld or two is holding the new panel in place. A lot of mk2's dont line up properly due to either non genuine panel replacements or not enough time spent aligning/trial fitting. Spoils the finished article and will drive you mad in the long run If it isnt spot on.

i'd say the same as nick pal! i took hour's lining my old nova's front panel and had load's of measurement's off differant point's of the car to help, then on with the wing's bonnet grill then off move alittle bit back on ,
do you not fancy fitting it yourself it not a big job?
Cheers Nick, to me thats what I'd do aswell.Originally Posted by Nick J
Appears the term "tradesman" means someone who just guesses
It's going into an old boy my dad knows, he's rebuilding one of mcraes old rally cars ATM, and does some seriously nice work. Did the bootlid on our jag, and it's amazing.
Going to have the engine bay repainted to a "show" standard, and then if funds allow a pair of quater panels and sills.
Then a full blow over in Audi abis White, or glacier
I'm sure she won't be as clean as yours nick, but won't be far off
I do fancy having a go, I did the rear panel in my old nova, but for this I'd rather let the old boy do it.
He's a professional, and whilst I can do pretty much anything, arty stuff isn't my thing.
Takes a lifetime to learn a trade, and it's best IMO to let someone pro do paint and body work!
I like your nuts and bolts
Bailey header tank, 2 breather tanks, 3rd set of speedlines and some 308mm brakes.
Next purchases are ali rad, new set of hoses and some more shiny bits
do you want to sell one of the breather tanks?
Love you too Matt
Turns out the front upper pannel was welded on by someone with 1 hand an clucoma (Like lewis)
At least you get the bay how you want it now though

I am
But yeah, ill get some pics, will pull the engine out saturday night.
Then I fancy smoothing the bay over like benn has, but its a hell of a lot of work
Plus you will be re-smoothing and painting it every few months when the paint/filler cracked!I am
