Hi Brett, That's great. I must admit that when I saw James's thread (and the photo of his smashed windscreen in Complete Kit Car) I decided that...

The hinges that pivot in the front?? I have looked into those but I don't think the hood/bonnet would move far enough forward to clear the canopy...

I think it's very healthy for contributers on any forum to feel able to give their honest opinion on anything, provided it is done in a tactful...

Thanks for sharing some of the show Lauren. The Nova looks great. Here's to more show posts as I've missed them.

I think you are right Martin - it was mahoosive :D. In fact, the owner had to move the car forwards a couple of feet so that the hordes could...

I was thinking that the welded joint that attaches the rear tube to the corner of the 'pan is a weak 'link' in the chassis, so I had a fill piece...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392316110323?ul_noapp=true its back on fleabay :)

I remember seeing it at Keith & Elaine’s when it was a standard light blue Nova, and then through a couple of its incantations. Certainly is a head...

Some fabulous cars there. The Opel GT was one of my favourites (the new Mazda MX5 hardtop convertible puts me in mind of it), the VW Porsche is the...

love the fact you can just see the Nova behind the Buick; it would probably fit in the trunk!

Some custom bits have arrived for the PPC Nova; I wanted all the chassis bushes to match; so I had some made in yellow for the anti-roll bar and...

Alistair is right, the chassis number is there mate, I'll keep it visible after paint - good point. it's also on the VIN plate which will be in...

Well done mate :cool1:

Thanks Steve, it is good to be back. Still a few more jobs to do before I can really pile on the miles, but at least I don't have to take the car off...

Thanks Dave - surprisingly little water ingress, as it turns out, although I probably wouldn't want to leave the car out in the rain all night. The...

Excellent Alex! .... well done and hope you get better weather for the rest of the summer!

And again - few days late as my MOT man was on a cruise and I didn't want to inflict an 'interesting' car on his locum.... raining just enough to...

Thanks for the input gang. I was trying to keep the engine cover "similar" to the stock cover, but not so much of a brick shape and little more...

Sorry Nic :) My bad Not that you asked but I'm with David, It doesn't look right for the car. Sometime in the future I'm going to have to...

Thanks Peter, couldn’t flip it from my phone.

There ya go. Flipped and cropped. Looking as great as ever.

should be 4.4 pints (2L) after refill. (it says)

Boy, do I know what you mean, so many vehicles from the past I would love to own again, well drive anyway, but my real love,, Lambretta SX200 all...

Looks good, I was looking at trunk hinges last month and that is very much what some have. I have a BMW E30 and the hood hinge is a solid way to look...

That engine cover is something along the lines of the SS, (not sure about Cimbria) and the vent works well. Main difference is the lid on the SS...

LOVE IT! Such a gorgeous car and a lot of hidden features that we know of that have gone into making it what it is, well done. I would have...

The car looks gorgeous, a testament to all your hard work and attention to detail!

Very clear explanation, thanks. WRT the side windows (which appear to pop open at the rear for ventilation, correct?) can you post a picture from...
