Didn't get much done on Saturday apart from my mate who sprayed the car and engine bay said it was my turn to learn how to spray so here are a few bits i done Sat morning, i will be doing plenty more Saturday afternoon was garden time 
Sunday morning started off by leaving mine at 8:45am getting to Steve Milton house by about 10:30, Fitted the quaife LSD for the f28, fitting the correct black speedo ring aswell a blue one was fitted!
Then back at home i got cracking on....
Here a few bits i came back from Steve's with
Block decked overbored to 86.5mm, oil squirters justs needs painting now
Mahle pistons 86.5mm, machined down to lower compression
GM z20let oil pump and modified pick up

I know its great but when i bolt older stuff on it looks out of place, correct me if i'm wrong (not being sarcastic) i thought seem welds are a continuous weld and stitch weld is separate

Well got bit more done tonight, First off i found this link on the net about malt vinegar removing rust of arms etc (heres link http://www.cookhaus.co.uk/vinegar/index.htm ) So i took a trip to Asda
Cost me £8 with both brushes and a bowl, thats a bargin if it works
Next stage is to fill a bowl 
Lower arm before
Now I'm leaving it over night to soak, hopefully i'll find out tomorrow if it works but for £8 if it doesn't its no real loss....
Then i started to tackle the last stripping part of the project which is underneath 
Got exhaust off, all heat shields and loosened all the brake pipe connections, thats all for tonight

yeah sorry what i meant was seam welding as you have done with a contunious weld means in the event of a knock, pothole, or force, the impact from these will not reverbarate around the seem as there is no "give" in it so any impact will excert (sp) the force on the next weakest point

Are you putting some nice fresh paint on the underside or is that taking things a bit far?

This can also cause to cross members cracking, even in normal situations.
Speaking from what i know about novas.
