Don't forget to lock that bonnet before you drive it, your windscreen will thank you for it ;)

What, keep this ? The suspension is now sorted and the car handles brilliantly. Had a good blast down dual carriageways and temp all good with...

You want to go where….Wales?? Sure you can get a few sheep in the back of a defender, but do you really want to do that….no of course not!! ...

Well done!!! :clapping: :yeah: :thumbup:

It works! The roof comes up, the roof goes down. Just got to fit it all in the car. Thanks for all the help.:banana:

Hmmmm ... the Princess in rural Wales? I see where you’re coming from... she might get splashed with a wee bit of mud! However, speaking as...

I agree whole heartedly. Besides, if I had the money, I'd want first dibs :bananasplit:

Don’t do it. You own a piece of history. Look back through your thread to see how far you’ve come. You’ll never recoup the cost of man hours. Once...

Luis How deep are your pockets ? The reason I say this is that is that I,very soon, have to make some big decisions as I will soon be entering a...

You can use a primer designed for plastic with cellulose but the flex additive is for 2k Mike

Thanks for the info. Can I use cellulose paint? I don’t have facilities to spray 2k. Mick

Hi Mick If you want to paint plastic use an adhesion promoter to base the panel then add a flexible additive to 2k topcoat paint so it...

Hi Luis, Keith ('kdnova') tried to sell his road going Nova a year or 2 back ... (see...

Hi, The ad was mine a while back but I couldn't bring myself to sell it in the end. I have a list of people wanting to buy it if I change my...

This sad looking ‘project’ is currently on Facebook Marketplace for sale in Wales for £1500. Lack of windscreen adds circa £700 to the...

Thank you David, looks like I will need it. I can consider outsourcing the work to a garage if it won't cost me an arm and a leg, but as I wrote...

Luis, They do come up for sale now and again, but sadly its very very rare for a complete car to come up for sale. Most are project cars, with a fair...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum but trying to get hold of a Nova as grandad had one in the late 70s. Sadly, he passed away shortly after, the year...

I know that I have a .7 for the rears so will probably change it out to a .625 when I get the car back. It does not account however for the...

Lol Should have said rears but too frustrated to spell check. A view before we went out ... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi Mick - that might well be useful as the rear of the blue shell was very hacked about by Sam Cobley's lot when they were attempting to fit it to...

That's crap news Mark, but at least you are one step closer to taking the car on a good motorway run, as I'm still keen to hear how the cooling...

Hello Mate, Sorry to hear about the MOT; I have a 0.875 Master Cyl at the front and 0.625 Rear, that gives me (and you) 50-50 front/rear Bias,...

No additional progress on the windshield yet, but it is sitting in the yellow canopy and held in place with tape. I have been doing additional work...

Phill, I think the 5 mile radius is just a Welsh requirement, but after Dominic Cummings .... ?!? :facepalm: ((Just checked and you’re right...

Took the car out for a decent run this evening whilst remaining within a 5 mile radius of base so within the guidelines laid down by Nicola. Wanted...

Alex, Shortly I will be finished with my butchered Nova back end. If it’s any use to you in creating the mould for your clamshell you’re welcome to...

Ummm - no help at the moment, but since mine will be clam-shelled and there will have to be moulds to produce it -hopefully in carbon fibre if I'm...

Doh! Bad luck about MoT but I’m sure you’ll find a fix. Mick

and Both I understand the principles behind the whole buck/mould making process but have never done it and my inability to ‘visualise’ in 3...
