Dan i rememberer looking at the state the front end was in the other year at PV and tbh i thought to my self then it would be quite bad els where etc, you get know how bad they are in general from the suspect certain areas conditions etc, did you ever see my mate Mike's Silk Violet GSi? we did the same on his on the rear inner arches/chassis legs, and the front splash guards, common issues etc.

Looks good though mate, glad you have persevered and saving it.

I might to do some welding on the new loon project..

Dan

[Balley]

Well I didn't get a lot done today. Should hopefully get the rear inner arch and maybe out arch completed next week though, that is if it don't snow any way, if it does it just means I will have to get a bit colder. Such is life

[Balley]

Did a bit more this Sunday. Only had a few hours spare mind...

Welded the sill/arch end in..



And then a small piece around the damper mount,..



Removed the rest of the underseal and Zinc primed. Still needs sealing and stone chiping.



Any way then I moved on to the back panel. This is what I started with...



Cut some crap out!!!





I then welded a small bit back in and called it a day..

I used a nice piece of old back boiler from our house.. Recycle, The possibilities are Endless!!



In the Mean Time I sprayed my bonnet with Zinc Primer and rubbed it all down with 600 W/D







And I got the N/s wing ready for primer to.. No photo yet!!

Any way that is all for today kids.. Hope you enjoyed the Show!

Cracked on with my new tail gate which I got off Seno_v6...

Rubbed the lower half down and removed the rust best I could..



Shed is do another clear out.



I've had enough for the night now.

Last nights work, and yes I do keep most of my Novas Parts in the house.. why the **** not aye...





Its ready for High build now. I will paint them the same time as I do the car..

That is all until the weekend, should have a few folk over to help Saturday, fingers crossed there will be another big update.

[Balley]

Well did a bit yesturday, I didn't do much though as it were cold.. lmao

Welded the back panel up,







And Cut the boot corner out, believe it or not it was a bit rotten.





Never seen a nova go here before..



Mean while Lewis came round a removed the front suspension..







Cheers chap.

I also trimmed the back panel down.



And to end the day we removed the windscreen.



any way will get some more done soon, over and out!

[vx kev]

Best thing that, trimming the dirt catcher bits on the back panel that obviously just leads to ROT

[Balley]

Well I welded a bit up Kev and then thought, bollocks to it! Just like I did with my front wings and valance
