Stayed behind work tonight as my track control arm plates turned up so I thought if get them welded sooner rather than later so I can get all the bits ready for powdercoating.
Got some close ups of my welds to..
Then straight from work to the nova, was going to paint the underside with Hammerite but I wasn't happy with how it was coming out so I've put a few coats of primer on (ran out of paint half way through) and ill just paint it out of a gun with 2k...
