Looks absolutely awesome well done

It must have been a lot of work but well worth it - the result is fantastic

I love the OEM feel where the panel wraps around the dash, nicely done

Really helpful info , Thanks! The Factory Specification Sheet is exactly the thing I’m looking for. I’ve looked around the web and forum for anything...

It looks good, did you get chance to try the vents out in the cold weather? Dirk

Thanks again so much. Wow I didn’t know it came with a Ford- Lotus 1.6 L and a 0-60 of 7 Seconds is blistering quick even compared to normal cars...

That's a very interesting problem. Essentially you are importing a kit car into Greece, but treating it as a factory-built example, so need to have a...

Excellent bit of work there Lauren! :thumbup: ... and the Green Machine's looking fab against the snow! Alistair

Thanks Mike, I am very pleased with the fit. It has taken a long time, and two false starts, to get to this point!

I used this part on the Green Machine originally, but the special splined shaft I had made must have been a little bit smaller diameter than the...

Love the 'build time' !! :facepalm:

I bet you're pleased with those panels they really look good, great panel to dash gaps

I have retained these flimsy, badly formed panels since I acquired my Nova in 1990. For 6 years they covered the worst visual aspects of the canopy...

Try this one

Thanks so much for the specs , do you mind sending the first page again in a better quality since I can read the text ?

My cambelt went on my Capri a few years ago. Fortunately the 2.0 pinto engine is non interference which means the pistons and valves never occupy the...

That’s only ever happened to me once ... fortunately just as I was reversing into my driveway. Needless to say, my car went back out of the driveway...

Little job popped up just to keep me busy while I can't get to the shed. Mother in laws 1988 Honda Civic 1.4TC broke its cam belt, nuff said....

Why not just use one of the many UJ joints from CBS and cut out a lot of metal. I used one going from Triumph Dolomite to Citroen C16.

Here's some spec

I've looked and I can't find anything too useful. I was asking something more specifically about the Nova.

Have a look at the Dvla site under kits & rebuilds you should find the info you need there

Reason I'm asking is because the rules to Import cars over 30 years old in Greece are very strict. From my understanding Kit Cars are illegal since...

Another suggestion would be a D slot pin in a slot with a clamp on the outside to hold it in, if you decide to drill right through and pin/bolt don't...

I agree Dvla couldn't be more reasonable, sent completed form on a Monday and by Thursday they'd changed it from VW sports to Nova

Looks very similar to the Cortina parts I used to use on buggy builds, and I think my first Nova. Found this old picture in a build album (a real...

Yup,I was going to suggest cross-drilling like that and a roll-pin......

There are various marks it has been registered as in the UK, a few examples : VW Sports Nova Nova Sports VW Beetle

When I've done something similar in the past once the two parts were welded together I drilled a small hole all the way through both from one side to...
