I was subscribed long time ago it's not that bad on rust you saved your self alot of money doing all the prep work yourself you can plate them sills if it's not that bad could make it look exactly the same as them are easy to shape or buy one sill and use to repair both I'm only saying as I've been doing welding on cars for a living for 25 years so I'm lucky I can do it all my self but looks like Scott is doing a good job 👍
Great to see another Nova being saved, Big fan of them. Love watching the progress. The welding is always the toughest job. Keep up the good work mate.
Great to see all the rotten area's of a nova being repaired I'm welding mine as we speak mate nice to see another being saved, keep up the good work matey 👍
Doing a great job on this, a real learning curve. Despite the work you are having to do it looks surprisingly solid for a nova that's spent its entire life north of the border.
Hiya Allan you have won the 4000 subscriber giveaway can you get in contact with me through my Instagram: aidan_galloway. So I can get it sent to you :)
Enjoying the nova build. I had 3 novas back in the day. 2 merits and spin. Think the spin was the last one before the Corsa. Could be wrong. Well done on the channel pal 👍💪
Actually doesn't seem too rotten. I had a 1983 1.2L was my first car back in 1994 complete with SR alloys and steering wheel. It needed both sills replaced as well as front wings. Still loved it though, even the maroon interior!
Welcome to the world of classic cars wee man the only thing now is to learn welding and there'll be no stopping you good job on shaping the metal too 👍 👏
It’s good to see a young guy working on cars.. my eldest boy drives a fiesta st line but has no interest in cars, the middle one is an apprentice panel beater/painter but not into it like you 😂 And the young one has a racing sim in his room so fingers crossed he stays into cars. My first car was a wee red 1.0L Nova, it was the facelift one that you could take the hazard light switch out and put it in upside down, and that would put the red light on 😂 of course everyone knew that and snapped the barrel got in and tried to snap the steering lock. So my steering wheel was upside down 😂 My second car was a Mk5 escort 😂😂
@Aidan__Galloway I bought a used gasless draper mig off Ebay for a few quid back in autumn, was getting pretty good at sticking bits together but not consistent enough to weld the sill on my mk4.... had to call in my m8 lol saving up for a gas set up 👍🤞
@Aidan__Galloway yeah sills rear arches inside boot floor in corners was very common in had few nova back in early 2000s various engines from now gte and red top conversions they was definitely better than the corsa b that came after the face-lift novas
@@Aidan__Gallowaya ken where there’s a red gte and a white gte lying in tulliallan boys a helmet and letting them go to rot and waste tried buying them both about 5 years ago and he was mingin with the drink and wanting 2 grand per car But believe me there still there complete and now they are in even worse state and the white one has now collapsed at the rear with rot
Make sure to get entered into the 4000 subscriber giveaway it’s simple!

@ well you done a fantastic job on the escort so I’m sure the nova will be the same.
Doing a great job on this, a real learning curve. Despite the work you are having to do it looks surprisingly solid for a nova that's spent its entire life north of the border.

@rickydub6950 class mate my dad had just got a welder for Christmas so we’re just playing about with it at the moment too
@@Aidan__Galloway minted 👌😁
looking good lad
Thanks a lot mate 🫡
Love your content Aidan been watching you since the vids from when you were at school 🤣
@sarahashes9618 😂😂 OG
That car is going to look better then brand new when you have fully finished the car
Hahaha that’s what we’re going for 😄
Nice work on the Nova! Would love to see an XE in there one day :) (or a CLET)
Thanks a lot mate think I’ll be leaving the current engine in it for now haha but maybe in the future
No worries, I'm just down the road from you in Rosyth :)
@Sonorg1 ah not too far then mate
Nice to see front solid sills was common on novas ive seen alot worse than that little nova
Oh that’s good to hear then hahah it could be worse
@Aidan__Galloway yeah sills rear arches inside boot floor in corners was very common in had few nova back in early 2000s various engines from now gte and red top conversions they was definitely better than the corsa b that came after the face-lift novas
I know Scott. You won't find a better welder. And he's got a sick sense of humour. 😂
😂😂
I hope this thing gets a full gte makeover full kit and get a decent 1.6 cammed and high flowing 8v installed
It would be cool but the price of GTE stuff these days is mental 😂

Jack you have won a couple of free stickers from my giveaway tonight can you get in contact with me via my Instagram: aidan_gallowayyt
@@Aidan__Galloway this a wynd up ? Never won anything in my life before apart from the 100m sprint back in primary school
😂😂 yeh mate you won a couple of retros and rust stickers if you just send me a message on instagram I can get them to you 😄
Just subscribed buzzing off the content love it 💯👊🫡
Thanks a lot Jason glad you liked it
fab fabrication, are you going to learn how to weld for future projects next ?
I’d love to give it a try yeh
Oft im to scared to drag mine out and start finding out what mine possably needs.
Hahah you just have to go head first into it you might be surprised
How did you bend the panels? Subscribed 👍
I just bent it in my vice and a bit of hammering too thank you for subscribing 😂
Great content mate, What disk did you use with the grinder btw?
Thanks a lot mate I used a few different types of discs but if you are wondering what one I was using for cutting the metal it was a laser cut one
I knew a guy who had a gte then crashed it. A while later got a gsi and rolled that. Poor wee novas!
That’s such a shame haha
@Aidan__Galloway top work on the car and pressing skills Aidan you are going to be big on TH-cam I reckon 👍
@jimmyboyd817 thank you mate I’m giving it my best shot hahah
What are your plans for the nova
Getting it back on the road with an MOT and and then a full respray
@Aidan__Galloway are you still keeping it red
@sarahashes9618 yeh keeping it flame red
My car is filthy. I could do with some cleaning products 😂
Nova is looking good.
Hahaha cheers mate
When’s the next fh4 convoy lol 😂
Some more done on the nova
Definitely kyle
from Ireland
These things like to rot in loads of places, not a safe car to crash nowadays as they are so weak, had a good few SR's and built a 2.0 gsi
some job boy
Cheers Harv ❤️
Much ye pay for it bro ?
