I guess one thing that I don't understand is why the starter would be getting any voltage at all with the key in the "on" position. The only time the...

Unfortunately that is a later (Elam) Mk1 rear bumper, although it should fit the ADD undertray :confused1: Lauren

Will be interesting to see how you get on with the servo, you'll definitely need a light foot regarding locking the brakes, having said that I'm...

Thanks for your answers - I ordered a sterling bumper from Poly Creation in Belgium (I sent a picture) and received this part :ermm: - unfortunately...

Useful thanks :-)

The type 3 has a different cooling shroud. Still flat but with a bigger fan (same as in the Avante that was up for sale on ebay - my original Nova...

Hi Phill and Martin, How do you know that it is a Type 4 from that picture? (and not a type 3). @SNK I am using at 2 litre Type 4 for my build,...

Worth saving I would say - More desirable and powerful than a Beetle engine.

Can you share photos of how it looks on your chassis? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will dig out all the component parts that I have and confirm. It spread over 2 or 3 boxes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, definitely type IV, do you know what size it is? Do you have injection or carb? Same as I have in my Nova (or should I say chassis at...

Is it worth trying to salvage it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Location was determine after experimenting with several different sets of equal length tie rods and getting the best angle to the steering arms to...

That's a type 4 engine - same as used in the Porsche 914 as well as later vans and the type 4 variant. Different block to the Beetle

I’ve been keeping an eye on his site and haven’t seen Jim’s Nova. I suspect the new owner was lined up without any need to advertise

The engine that came with the car! Looking like it’s too far gone, but do have most of the bits for it. What type is this? Not seem one with the...

If Steve is not looking to sell his old bumper then I took a thin splash mould from Steve's bumper so I could make a one off for my Nova. I can lend...

Yes definately a type 3 engine, it's the same as I had in my original Nova which came out of a type 3 squareback. The engine is identical to the...

Wow.... A few observations / questions then. 1) So the tank is effectively sandwiched in cradle then so no need for mounting tabs that could...

Did Jim's car ever appear for sale in that guy's website?

The advert said 1600 IIRC, which means it is probably a Type 3 (i.e. Beetle engine block, with the Type 4 style fan housing).

It's tempting but you have Nova blood in your veins, Alastair. I agree with 'er indoors about shifting the Vitara though, there will be a pristine...

Nice update, loving the box-section steel. Interesting to see how the rear-end hangs together.

That's quite a lot so great progress. Are you doing as I did, put the rack where it needs to be and then sort out the mounting or have you already...

Now off eBay. It would not surprise me, due to location, that the same guy that bought mine and Jim’s car has bought this. If he did he has one hell...

Not sure no, but I haven’t come across one yet. I’ll do some digging
