Cheers has to be quick mark, on the road Tuesday and I only want to have to maintain it rather than clean it up so all my time is spent on my other nova. Want it looking fresh though! Although I will be getting a set of sr steels banded in the next month or two 
Thanks Chris! you will! Can't wait!!!

Right! Getting back on track with the nova, if I plan on getting it done for trax I need to get my ass in gear!
Today's progress:
New brake pipes made up, will be routing them through the car. One looks slightly off in this picture, they are both straight and level, very picky with brake pipes!

Gearbox is painted,

And the worst part of today, anyone who has ever done this will know it is possibly the shittest job to do!


Will hopefully be moving it into my mates unit to get some bodywork and paint done soon
