Hi Dave - not so much difficult to source, I built them myself. Hella H7 projectors firing through chrome trim rings cut down from the broken Cibie...

Thanks Steve. My Nova started out red (look at the edging of the headlamp covers) but the gel coat had changed to a sort of orange/brownish colour...

Cheer mate

Looking nice in red mate, I will try to pick-up those CKC issues :-)

No fear of that Dave! .... I just need to spend more time in the garage!! Looking forward to seeing your Nova up here in Scotland sometime next...

Dont give up mate....keep fighting the good fight

Congratulations Mate Brilliant work ....she is a cracker.

Hi mate yes

Guys Massive apologies for the rather late update :ermm: Factory Built in 1980 , V5 states Nova I Put an ad in a big VW Bug site saying i was...

Well that welding is nice and clean, better than me and my 1990s Clarkeweld 120e Mk2 can do! I have recently bought some welding toys (TIG). Still...

Gently in soft jaw vice. I tried it on a bit of 10mm strip and it was easy to get a nice curve with a bend, kinda 3D. The actual 15mm T section will...

Excellent Dirk ... I’m really looking forward to seeing that issue! :thumbup:

All positive stuff for the marque and the forum, the VW Beetle photo shoot goes to print this Friday ready for next month issue so even more exposure...

No, it is not related - the KVA chassis is designed for an in-line V8 and so places the driver too far forward to fit under the Nova body. No,...

Hi Mike, I’ve just seen your letter in the Dec issue of Complete Kit Car. If you’d ever like to pop down to see the Nova (it's still in bits!)...

It has some historic interest in the UK. Sam Cobleys company was the last to produce Nova kits in Britain. The Mid engined chassis was an attempt to...

Not to sound ignorant but what is a big deal about this chassis. Anyone with a welder can build one in fairly short amount of time. Sent from my...

Very interesting. Do the other Cobley chassis have the wide body modifications too? Bobby Brown. Thanks for going for a look and sharing the info. I...

Looks very nice, that ally will be difficult to bend it will be interesting to see how you do it. keep up the good work. Dirk

Nice OEM feel to the door cards, good work.

That looks really great Peter. I bet it feels good to be working on your car again ... keep going! :thumbup: (That was just a wee bit of green envy...

Actually well under way with the door cards, I am really pleased that the current design is so very close to the one I did years ago so must have...

For a piece of nova history, I think that needs saving by someone on the forum that would protect the cobley history. I need a bigger man cave ! I...

Some further info about this car... The chassis does indeed look to be the third Sam Cobley chassis, it has the mountings for the front struts at...

Yes, thanks for the offer to help coordinate things. It always makes me smile when the community volunteers to go out of their way to help. I'm...

My pleasure. Can those that are yet to send payments please look to do so ASAP. Many thanks

I have seen pictures of it, but I don't have any copies. I think we are both pretty sure it is a Sam Cobley chassis, but as to which of the three it...

Hi Rick - Sam showed me some pictures of the chassis at a show many years ago. At that time it was just a bare frame with no suspension or running...

One of the Club Nova members (Richard) has one of the Cobley chassis - I don't think he's done anything with it or realistically is ever likely to,...
