ADES GARAGE V2! **now with pics! **

[ade]

Been gathering a few more parts - got a good quote for the fibreglass and resin parts for the bumpers (?320 inc delivery) and managed (at long last) to get a set of brand new Goodridge Braided hoses for a very reasonable price off ebay.

After a long depabt, I've finally decided to get my local garage to do the welding on the car (was going to do it myself but didnt trust meself and couldnt be bothered getting a mig welder). For fitting new lower valance, patching up bits n bobs as well as a couple of other bits - been quoted ?200 all in which I'm happy with.

Should get that done in the next 4 weeks or so (no rush) - then I can start fabricating trhe housing for the lights and then the real work starts...

Really looking forward to how the lights will look in the end!

I'd come and help you out Ade but I can't weld....... I'm a bit useless really.
Plus your miles away.

- yeah yeah I know - dragging my knuckles on this a bit...

I actually cleared the Nova out the other day - been using it as a storage dump for parts - decided to catalogue everything and stick it up the loft.

Rang the garage and theyre going to try and get it in this weekend...once I get it back I can then start work on the front end and work back...

Im reluctant to do anythng else to it (eg make the rear lighths etc) until I see the lights in position - then I can get a feel for the rest of the cars kit - see if the drawings I did will look right...

Once I get her back from getting the new front panel on there will be regular posts...if the weather continues like this I'll be in the garage every night!

Also - missus just told me shes probably going to get a promotion to Elgin for 6 months - so that means the week day evenings are MINE! ALL MINE!
