Nah man no point doing that. It came out of the factory like that so it will stay like that lol. Mind you that's an adjustable aerial so one of the lads must have moved it hence why it's sticking away up in the sky lol..

Aerials where on the front wings from the factory mate, that's aftermarket.

I remember fitting a bee sting to my GTE, wouldn't be drilling in to the roof if I owned it now

Cracking restoration matey. I love the mk1 gte's.

As said though. The aerial is not factory. I'd of had that removed when painted and either gone down the bee sting route or the genuine wing aerial route prior to paint.

Everything else is an awesome job mate

Never even thought about the aerial until now. If I would have known this before hand I would have went down the route of getting it removed but as said I'll leave it there for the time being

You're ruining this Nova mate, I think you should sell it to me before you do any more damage

Only joking, looks great!
