hope thats not by hand!!!!

nope annoyed the neighbours with the air riveter

Will it look anything like this when finished?

Just bought a air riveter myself, only had a quick go (and so did most of my mates!), almost to much fun! might even become my new favourite 'tool' (don't want to upset my grinders)
What model have you got ,mine is from machine mart (cat 73)

Hi AAHH the old noble 23. We built one of the early ones with a lotus twincam replica from vegantune.

I think the pic of the one above is an old friend called ken culverwell. Used to race it in the srgt meetings also think he has another 23 replica not shure it is a noble though.

cheers matt

yep should look something like that one still deciding on some finishing details like colours etc thinking of using a toyota metallic green with a yellow stripe around the grille and up and over the bonnet i've just emailed the new owner of the yellow noble in case i need anyphoto's for reference as i have lots of boxes of bits

Hi i think that the one we originaly built is still going strong as i keep seeing it being used on track days by i think a farther and son duo. It is now white with a red stripe .

cheers matt
