**Benn** · 26-09-2007, 16:50

And some pro nova mincing...

**Gordon Livsey** · 26-09-2007, 20:13

been thinking about the interior tonight, thinking about 2 nova gsi seats retrimmed in black leather along with the door cards retrimmed/ gsi doorcards and interior trim

**Benn** · 26-09-2007, 20:14

Sounds nice,

**Gordon Livsey** · 26-09-2007, 20:21

the hardcore mincing will commence tomorrow as im going to my local vaux dealer in lanark to order the bumper, the harnesses are coming out tomorrow, also gonna try and order up a brand new bonnet for the louvres to be stamped in to as i aint a fan of the montery scoop thats on mine, and on the lookout for gsi interior,

thought i had the right colour for the car, opel/vauxhall antigua blue, its bloody miles out, the closest match i can get is ford bright island blue metalic, dont know how it will look on larger panels like the bumper and bonnet though i.e big shade difference

**Benn** · 26-09-2007, 20:21

Dude get on msn, i'll send you a link for pannel,

**Gordon Livsey** · 27-09-2007, 17:46

**Benn** · 27-09-2007, 17:49

**Gordon Livsey** · 04-10-2007, 20:20

update: got my new bonnet delivered to the work today from beever auto panels, this is the one thats getting the louvres in it

and also the gsi bumper is on back order from vauxhall, should be picking it up the 15th of this month, cant wait to get it painted and on the car

**Benn** · 04-10-2007, 20:30

Sounds good dude,

**Gordon Livsey** · 04-10-2007, 21:38

whats the best stuff to use for cleaning up the inner arches as i fancy painting them with hamerite roughly the same colour of the car as underneath the car has been hamerited and then waxoiled

**Benn** · 04-10-2007, 21:46

striff brush,
guessing it wilkl be tary like stuff, so you'll just wanna slap it on, lewt it dry, then re coat...

**Gordon Livsey** · 04-10-2007, 21:50

yeah, ive got panel wipe in the garage, will this help clean the inner arches up a bit, ive also sealed up the small drill holes in the boot floor (only an 8th part drill bit), cleaned around the surface with panel wipe and then whacked on a load of sica-flex, gonna wait till its dry and go over it with some hamerite and then waxoil

**Benn** · 04-10-2007, 21:56

just brush it off,
you want it as bone dry as poss, so no water or anything gets traped,

so brush the dirt off, then paint over...

**Gordon Livsey** · 04-10-2007, 22:01

cool, will get some hamerite tomorrow

**Benn** · 04-10-2007, 22:20

Sweet.

**Gordon Livsey** · 04-10-2007, 22:22

if the weathers good this weekend im also gonna clean up the underside of the car as it has been painted and give it another coat to keep it fresh looking, will get some pics up of the weekend mincing as theres loads to do before im completely happy with it

**Benn** · 05-10-2007, 07:18

Good man,

**Gordon Livsey** · 06-10-2007, 22:33

cleaned up the underside of it today, gonna finish of re hameriting the underside of the car, as it was already done when it was a shell

**Benn** · 06-10-2007, 23:50

**Gordon Livsey** · 07-10-2007, 19:59
