Well I thought I might just show you what been happening for the last 3......maybe 4 years
I noticed my old valver nova had started to split around the front end and to be honest I'd never been happy with the last rebuild a bit to rushed. So for some reason possibly drug induced I bought a few bits to tidy the old girl up....
As the sharp eyed amongst you will have spotted they're all indeed genuine vauxhall and ,so I was told, include the last two complete chassis legs ever! unless that was an excuse for the lenth of time they took to land.
The next thing was to take what I though was quite a tidy shell and pack it off to the shot blasters to see what lies beneath the many layers of paint etc.
Not to bad but in some places it was a bit poor. Like both rear inner arches/chassis legs.
The passenger side ****shield had had a poor repair at some time
Also there was a small hole in the inner sill on the drivers side. I dunno if you can see in the pic but............
Next thing it was chucked on bit of a spit (cheers Mr Dale) and all the stone chip that wouldn't come of with shot blasting was scrapped off by hand.
Trust me when I say this is a p1ss poor ball ache of a job that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
Next let the fun begin!
The plan was/is to remove ALL rust rot and replace with nice new panels or hand crafted parts if needed. Novas how ever aren't shy with rot! Ho-hum...........
That's the rear quater panels and both sills and the back panel along with large bits of boot floor and rear chassis legs etc... Nice
A few left overs for the scrappy...........
More uploaded soon...................
