    Well I got back from work today at 5.51 and guess what,... I did more work on my car... IN THE SUN

    I made the wing and the door fit the sill better with the aid of a block and a hammer. Then I preped the wing with 400wet and dry, panel wiped it and sprayed it with grey primer.

    What do you think. I think it fits miles better than most original Novas wings do!









    Overall I am very pleased with it and plan to do the other side tomorrow.. Good times

    Cheers Scott. the door used to stick out nearly 10mm past the door and the wing stuck out a good few mm past the door so overall pretty tidy now

    looks good, jealous of your solid battery tray I did laugh when you were pointing out those microscopic flaws in the wing though

    Problem is, it's not a proper Nova now, you should be able to see the panel gaps from space

    Well I was ashamed at the lack of effort I have put in recently after seeing Craigs GTE project so I thought I best get my **** in the garage and finally get the wheel Lacquered.

    I used 2k Lacquer as I wanted a deep shine,

    Here is the results. Not perfect but pretty good I think





    I have also stripped the long Shaft and found out why it was knocking,


    Cleaned up the Tapered shaft.


    And the Big block inner.



    And here centre of the outer, Looks to be the part at fault!



    I have sourced a New outer off Lewis so all is good.

    While the Wheels were drying I gave the outer a coat of primer. I will be doing them silver and the shafts black enamal like the rest of the steering/suspension components



    Any way that is all for tonight.
