wooo looks strange seeing it in red


look better in blue

[Benn]

I never really liked Red Nova's. But at the time there was nothing else about. Like them now tho.. Just blue is way better.

Despite owning three red Novas it's never been my favourite colour but it's nice seeing any nova on the road these days

i've had two now. And very true, i followed a Sola down the motorway today, was so excited.

While working under the car over the winter, i noticed some small bubbles right on the edge of the arch... I wasn't happy.

So took the grinder too it...



Happily it wasn't rust. Looks like moisture had got in and lifted the filler/primer. So it was all sanded back, the lip on the inside of the arch has been bare metalled, sealed and painted. So that should be all sorted..



Sadly a bit of stopper was needed...



All masked up and primered...





All primer flatted and panel prepped.



Being painted...



Chris checking his work...





After my late night break in.. By me. The door needed a small blow in...





All painted too. Just need to flat and polish the car tomoz and clean it and it is now filthy! The drivers door card is covered in dry and other ****...

Found my scuttle cover had broken, so have remade it and thought a lil leather might look nice.... Needs finishing i know...



Now, i saw a flocked plug cover and thought they look cool, but need a bit better than cool. So after chatting with Pray (Al) the flocking expert, Who i cant thank enough for the quick work and unbelievably quality, we worked this out...
Take one chrome plug cover.... Add some masking... Then Add some flock... You get this custom jobbie...







Mmmmmm feels so nice...






Think that is it.....

Good call on getting rid of the rear tow eye and recess, after all who are you going to be towing

Liking the new changes. The flocked spark plug cover with the polished lettering looks great.

Last years TV live, had to toe my mate.. But smoothing is more important.

Yeah i'm loving it...

Very hairy.

I like how you're happy to grind back and repaint parts as you please to keep it looking tip-top. Paying for bodywork always sounds a bit daunting to me.

[Adam]

Liking the plug cover.

Liking how you spot a few imperfections and just go ahead and grind back, then have the whole rear 1/4 resprayed
