Nice one. So I take it you are coming to Stones? Dirk

It is a bit edge of you seat, it is even worse in the Avante as the headlight aperture is smaller and the hinged part of the flap is slightly higher...

Looks like some sort of funnycar drag racer - actually, isn't there some Youtube videos of a black Nova drag racer? Nice to see you get the...

The bearings are a nice touch, the hinges that David is talking about made by Ian used oillite bushes ( a bronze metal impregnated with oil) an...

That is excellent news, well done :clapping:

That is a very common first impression, unfortunately. Tunnel headlights give no peripheral vision, so nothing to illuminate the kerb or other...

Yes, that was my motivation as well - hopefully I will get another 10 years of use before I have to give up and get something sensible. Or maybe just...

Interesting .... that's some roll cage inside the Nova!!!

It's still to get an MOT Dirk (or engineers report which is my preference as I don't want to blight it with any sort of history that's available for...

Woo Hoo!!! That's brilliant news Phill :groupwave: :clapping: :thumbup: Looking forward to seeing you and your Nova over here in St Andrews...

They'll have made it 85 years old by then so you've plenty of time! :coat: It was my son that prompted me to start rebuilding my car... When I...

Well my car is now road legal. :bananasplit: A couple of weeks ago I decided to insure my car and apply for historic road tax. The old V5c was...

No, it's completely impervious to resin - the foam is designed for making surfboards, building up the layers and then carving out the shape, then...

Alex, I don't know whether to :lmfao: or :cry: .....

They'll have made it 85 years old by then so you've plenty of time! :coat:

Thanks Bushboy, Yes, I have lots of PPE for my work and had face protection when using the press .... and many thanks for calling me a 'young man'....

On my set the pivot joint at the front is on a course threaded bolt that goes into the lifting arm. This allows you to adjust the angle of the canopy...

I built the set I'm using now and have had no issues. I made a jig for the arms so the ends get welded on straight. Been thinking of the best...

I too have a set of non aligned stainless hinges I purchased off another unhappy customer of Ian's for my scooby Nova. They are so far out its...

Alistair, My hat is off to you young man. I have always sent my trailing arms off to have the joints changed. Hope you are alos looking after...

If you were determined enough you probably could. Alex Thomson (Alzax3) has a number of moulds and in Australia they have started re-manufacturing...

Watching this with great interest, as I bought stainless arms a long long time ago, and they were not fabricated square and need re-making. One...

Its a little more difficult than welding mild steel but easy enough to learn. With stainless you have to watch how much heat you apply more than you...

What parts are available in the UK . If you were mad enough would it be possible to build a totally new car eg. Ed's chassis body from poly creations...

So do you still have to cover it before applying the fibreglass to prevent it melting? Dirk

looking good are you planning on squashing the tubes as per original (over here) or are you going to fish mouth them to the bushing holders? Dirk

I am surprised at that we can get small amounts of pressed stainless Chanel with the correct profile here very easily ...

That is one to think about and have a look at thanks Dirk
