Looking very tidy, good work :thumbup:

Barry, Your car looks really well finished .... have you set up a thread in the 'Your Cars' section? Would be great to see more photos of the rest...

That's right Steve - manual canopy too, you can see the Austin Maxi gas rams. The seat shells are interesting because they show that ADD produced the...

It's a French Scobra I believe. But clearly derived from the Puma one-piece body shell moulding. I don't dislike it either, but my personal...

Should have the power lift system for the canopy done today. Just have the pinch sensors to wire in and its done. This is where I installed...

I like the smother rounded edges and the shortened front end, I do think one of the hardest parts of our cars to get right is the rear end and after...

I have to agree David its proportionally wrong and why spend an massive amount of time and effort altering a timeless shape but each to his own

I’m afraid I have to agree....

what is interesting is that taking what was a beautiful timeless classic design and making so few subtle changes can alter the whole perspective of...

I'm seeing both a hardtop and a soft top - that takes some work to do right. Windshield angle hasn't changed. I don't hate it - a lot of work went...

Wannabe Corvette. Don't like screen, they could have made it a bit steeper and gain some headroom and a decent hard top too, rest of it is probably...

I suppose they are still trying to keep it an “all weather car”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not sure if this version of the engine has hydraulic tappets - it's a 72/73 engine? My own thoughts are that the sound is the same as you might hear...

I like it with the exception of the windscreen and flimsy soft top arrangement. Instead of a full screen it would be better with a cut down wind...

Doesn't sound too healthy! I remember my type4 sounding much smoother than the type1, and it was great until the early Bosch computer (it was the...

Hi Phil is that a hydrolic tappet version of that engine, it's difficult to diagnose from the video but could be a hydrolic tappet, doubt it'll be a...

Can't help with the knocking noise but good to hear about the Type 4 lump :thumbup:

Cheers Gents, I wanted this to be a mainly outsourced build, the 3D Print stuff has gone to plan in that respect, because I found a great 3D...

I had the underside of the front compartment done, which came out pretty good, but the 'coat on the seats didn't go off (until I baked it for 3 days)...

That's great news Phill :thumbup: ... and you're taking the right approach by commiting to a full rebuild at a leisurely pace since your Nova's...

Looks like an abandoned project that never saw the light of day? There's a distinct lack of holes in the bodywork to indicate it was ever put...

So the good news is I've managed to source a type 4 engine for my car. It will require a full re-build though and as my current engine does the job...

Looks like someone will get a great project with not a lot to do, apart from junking that ancient V8 and rebuilding the rear end. Bit puzzled by ...

Great find. So this is an ADD (Mk1) Car because of the removable hatch 'sunroof' ? Those are the seats I got with my Elam Mk1 many moons ago, they...

wow, other than the obvious rear hacking to the body for the V8 an unmolested body mark 1, panels like the front undertray appear to have never been...

fantastic cutting edge stuff very impressive. Dirk
