Although it aint a nova im sure it will amuse most! Going to be my work van with a twist! 
Strengthening kit is now fitted as you can see above, next i got to remove the rh engine mount from the chassis leg and fit the new mount for the valver that im gonna drop in!

Also for the project i have just acquired some calibra turbo leather seats, plus discs and calipers!
Rear leaf springs are also going away to get decambered so i can lower the rear!
Anybody got a gsi front bumper or front lowering springs for sale???

Agreed x 1000,000 Three cheers for the welder indeed .
I am VERY impressed.
I've only ever seen two other men weld like that.
One was a competion car prep man, who specialised in cages. The other is the chap who i've been going to for 14 years, who does nothing but welding and has been doing it for over 20 years.
