http://www.migweb.co.uk/forums/projects-restorations/293687-nova-sport.html


but a few tasters




























































Today, I also fitted the B-pillar viynl's





Oh yeah, correct SPORT chassis number... (the grey bit is where I blanked off the last few digits)





And the correct rear seat brackets...













Underside after touching in.









Bit more Burberry

Cracking build, cant wait to see the finished result.

Nova scene is definetly changing for the better. A lot more serious now, with the barrier getting pushed higher and higher. A few outstanding concours builds on PNG, hope to get mines to that standard one day.

Awesome work. Good to see things being done properly. More often than not, many cars that appear 'mint' aren't as nice up close. This car will be amazing.

JR I think you aiming to have you car back together & out your parents garage before you turn 35 would be a better target
