Nice for someone to be open and transparent about the costs - v helpful.

Wish the rustbuster fairies would visit me �� I'd pay someone to do the same to my bare sport shell, Iv seemed to hit ground hog day/year! ��
Looking good Tim, mine has ground to a halt at the moment.
Cheers Tim - having a short break from mine so at least the underside will be hardened off. Next jobs are:Originally Posted by Tim Harpley

* Make up front to rear brake lines whilst on the jig
* Light skim of filler on the rear quarter joins
* Lower from the jig on to the dolly
* Replace lower front panel and cross-member as it's easier to do off the jig
* Off to the body shop for prep and paint - hopefully in September
Then a nicely paced rebuild over autumn and winter finished off by the decal application safe in the knowledge that the paint has gone hard!
Getting there Tim

Coming soon, brake line updates and some light filler work...
Ok not loads of pictures or words but essentially we have started making the brake lines and made some progress this weekend. Whilst the car was still on the jig, it has just made it a lot easier to at least get the two long runs done. Got one more rear beam line and the two fronts plus the master cylinder end but very happy with the finish (kunifer) and thanks to Rich for his great work:
I can't call Will "Will the Welder" any more as he is proving to be a real all-rounder. After the great work painting the underside, he is now starting to work on the repaired rear quarters and they are really start to take shape now - literally. I love that Nova rear arch shape!
So the aim is to try and get the brake lines finished in the next week or so (whilst Will is taking a well earned holiday) and then finish the filler work before dropping off the jig and on to the dolly. Its made things so much easier having it up on the jig - not only for rotating to get underneath but also for getting the sills and quarters at working level rather than lots of crouching. It will stay on it until the last minute!
Paint at the end of September?!?!

That looks very nicely done. Great work!
Picture free update for now. The two main kunifer brake lines are finished. The filler work on the offside quarter and both sills is done and primed. Looks amazing and is really the lightest skim! Should be coming off the jig and on to the dolly next weekend along with finishing the nearside quarter. That leaves the front lower panel and then OFF TO PAINT - YIPPPPPEEEEE!
