Nova Turbo Build!

**KeithRobinson** · 03-07-2007 17:54

Well folks, this has to be the most exciting time for me. Phil from Surface Processing kindly took some shots of my nova after it spent 24 hours in the acid bath.

To say i'm chuffed is an understatement. Its come out without any problems, no holes, no damage under the paint. FANTASTIC!! I'm like a kid at christmas.

This will be the first and probably the last time you'll see a Nova shell completely naked, bare shiney metal!

Here's the pics!!

Pretty much a brand new shell.

They wash it with something that prevents it rusting for about 2 weeks. But its going straight to get e-coated now, so that'll stop it rusting for decades hopefully!
