Yes, I would be really grateful if you could scan it. I just realized that the previous magazine scan was of the Nova SSD so yea the Ford-Lotus is...

I like the new look but still working through the learning curve.

Bringing this thread back active; the Sterling forum has been revamped with a new look, mobile-friendly and automated signups. Though, at the moment,...

I have the Elam Mk1/2 Nova specification sheet from 1981 in my file. I can scan it for you. Don't get too excited about non-VW engines, as none of...

Thanks guys - much appreciated :thumbup: I just need to get the other side done now, finish fabricating the cockpit rear quarter panels, and then...

Hi Dirk - I wasn't out in the car yesterday because I was expecting snow, but I was out the day before when the temperature was also below zero. Even...

Sounds promising Peter ... fingers crossed for you :thumbup:

I turned to engine over this morning and it seems not to have hit the valves, using a bore scope was useless as it is too close to the valves to...

Very nice and looks OEM too, nice finish. The equivalent on mine would be the door cards and what a bitch they are turning out to be to look good and...

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.
