Barry,
Your car looks really well finished .... have you set up a thread in the 'Your Cars' section? Would be great to see more photos of the rest of the car ... engine, chassis, suspension, etc...

I’m afraid I have to agree....

That's great news Phill :thumbup:

... and you're taking the right approach by commiting to a full rebuild at a leisurely pace since your Nova's already on the road.

As for the noise, it sounds...

Interesting one. No mention of a V5, but it's on a VW chassis, has a windscreen .... and a V8 engine! :outahere:

If Mrs Bluenova was to allow me to get another Nova (which she won’t :facepalm:)...

Steve,

I've said it before and I'll say it again .... with this attention to detail on stuff that folk can't see as you drive her along the road ............ surely she deserves a stunning paint...

.... and post photos of your fun with her, coz Phill, as a long standing member, keeps reminding us .... it's the law! :thumbup:

Brilliant news Jonathan!! :clapping:

Firstly, huge congrats on the new job, especially in securing it in such difficult times.

Secondly, what a beautiful Nova you've secured. I hope you get...

Thanks Alex. It’ll be a while before I get to that stage (I suspect my rebuild is progressing at a similar pace to your Pie Valley build?) but I appreciate your offer. I’ll let you know once I get to...

Phill, I've got a copy of the photos from the last time it was on ebay and the screen was in place at that time. It's difficult to make out how good the screen was from the photos

That's a helpful post Brett. I like the step by step pictures approach :thumbup:

I don't have much experience of working with glassfibre and at some point am planning to create a Mk1 bonnet from...

Looks very like the one that was sold by a deceased person’s estate last year and then turned up on eBay very shorty afterwards. Looks like a good basis for a full project .... assuming of course...

Here's how I brought the sparkle back to mine .... hope it helps!

Welcome to the Forum T23rny :)

I assume that by 'black Nova Mk1' you're the new owner of Andrew's old Nova which was recently for sale by Joseph in Sheffield?

Best to start a new thread under...

So it looks like Andrew's black Nova has been sold ... but Tobias's red Nova is still lurking in the background of this video (about half way through) from Joseph, the Sheffield dealer. She's...

I was teasing Mike. The last time we saw progress like yours was when Dirk repaired and upgraded his Avante. Remember it’s not a race ... and enjoy the journey :thumbup:

Great wee welding opportunity Mike! Having seen your rate of progress to date, I reckon you’ll have your Nova back on the road by the end of your furlough..... enjoy the opportunity! :thumbup:

:lmfao::lmfao::lmfao::lmfao::lmfao:

Hmmm ... well, at least it gives Mark the chance to buy her back again! :outahere:

I hadn't appreciated the kit was so expensive ... they don't mention that in the videos I've watched. Much sympathy re the lack of space and working outside. As for the time, I've had family issues...

Very frustrating! However, have you looked at the many youtube videos about flocking? Looks quite straightforward, especially as the areas in question are relatively hidden. It's not like you'd be...

Maybe he should give Joseph a call (the dealer in Sheffield who bought/sold Mark, Jim & Andrew's Novas) because he's got Tobias's red Mk1 .... unless he had a buyer lined up already, because it's...

Really interesting thread! I always thought the price for a new Nova/Sterling windscreen was exorbitant, but as you suggested, I've just searched for a video. Whilst the process doesn't involve...

Steve, the advert for Andrew’s black Nova is no longer there ... so perhaps it’s been sold? If so, that was really quick!
Alistair

I agree .... but it's also clear that road going Novas are extremely rare and as time passes, are likely to become even rarer.

I'm a fan of 'Bangers & Cash' (on Freeview Ch 26). If you've not...

Really liking this project Brett. :thumbup:
