I'm thinking maybe it would be best to provide a nostril area Mould that could be applied to the bonnet once a couple of holes had been cut in. Then...

attached photo proof, after rebuilt

Hi Alex, Could you possibly make me a couple of 'nostrils'? Roughly how much would you want for them? PM me if you'd prefer not to broadcast...

I still have the mould..... if you only want the nostril area that wouldn't be too difficult!

Hi Dirk, You wouldn't happen to have a spare Mk1 bonnet squirrelled away in that fabulous garage too would you? I'm not in any rush because I'm...

Sorry I have 2 screens squirrelled away, and I only have plans to do one Nova. Nice try though. Dirk

Thanks Steve. Yes, it's quite a good one to throw into a conversation. Of course every car built since the 1970s uses the same system, but most...

Yes I use the modified headlamp relay in my system which also has the old smiths pump. The changeover relay provides the power to the solenoids in...

Hellow been looking up electric,s as i have a problem with the relay . i have a converted vw headlight relay it worked ok for 6 lifts of the roof...

Hi Dirk, At the rate you are progressing with your current build, you'll probably be needing some Windscreens for that flotilla of Nova bodyshells...

I don't need one 2 opening doors and side windows that open all be it only 3 inch so I don't think I could get out of them:lmfao: Dirk

I haven't mentioned it, not really thought much about it yet but it will be going in the front some how, I don't have the limitations that the Nova...

Well, they say that F1 technology trickles-down to production cars... Nice bit of innovation there, well done. :cool1:

No, not for the car, that would be a bit too advanced - I'm talking about the windscreen wiper motor :cool1: So, to sum up - my wiper motor is...

Hahaha ... but you've just scored an own goal because Dirk doesn't have one! :outahere:

In the sunroof ;)

Fantastic work Dirk! :clapping: This really demonstrates the lack of understanding of the insurance companies when it comes to whether or not to...

I dunno Dirk, you made the IRS conversion with the body on look like a piece of cake!! :clapping: Anyway, thanks Mostin/Peter/Mark/Dirk ......

So you have done all of this in just about 2 months. Incredible work and commitment, well done. Perhaps you could do Dave's Scooby nova once you...

That has to be the fastest turn around after a disaster I've seen and now you have a faster better shiny toy :bananasplit:. Lets just hope your...

My pipe for the oil filler turned up the other day, up to now I had just placed the inlet manifold on the engine to get a guide on where it would go,...

I agree with that, it is a lot harder with the body on, I also agree with Peter though if you are just putting a beetle engine back in stick with the...

Alistair I have the same set up at mostin. It is good , but if you are thinking of IRS, you will need to do it now for it will be so much easier...

thank you Steve, i confirm my interest, courious to know the net price, as you have reached number 5 windscreen. If possible, i'd like to know also...

The sum of the parts can be crazy, I just did a repair on a 9,900€ buggy and the radiator alone was 400€, a seat was 666.33€. Unfortunately all the...

IRS is good but the benefits are marginal if you have a swing set up done right. I have swing and during the 1995-1999 period it was on the road I...

Thanks Mostin, My heart wants to buy lots of shiny new bits and pieces for my Nova, but my head is telling me to just get her on the road with the...

yes, i am using Porsche gearbox and i am a member of Puma club italy. I have driven the only Nova existing in italy and i agree to the above ...

Well with any seat, including my current one being a Mark 1 Nova and me bing 6' 4" its gonna be tight. The Stoneleigh seat was no better or worse...

Hi Alistair. Glad to see my build posts have been of some help. I fitted the front & rear Red9 coil over kits as part of my build so didn't...
