Hi all,
Some of you will know my son-in-law Iain, a lifelong Petrolhead and owner of a number of specialist vehicles. He helped Club Nova out by bringing his TVR to CarFest in 2013 (see pic below)...
I think Ray (contact through Club Nova via Gary (Scorpion)) has a physical template (not CAD) that he has used to get toughened glass side windows cut. He had a spare set, but I just bagged them from...
Hi David
Welcome. Glad to see you got round to announcing your build here on the forum. I look forward to seeing pics of your progress once you discover the art of pasting links.
Good luck.
My...
Thanks for the links but you’re late to the party. I posted about this a couple of weeks ago here: http://www.euro-nova.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?7817-Stirling-on-a-Porsche-Boxter-TV-show

During the programme they took a running Stirling, dumped the Beetle parts, chopped up the body into numerous bits then took a running Boxter, unbolted and chopped off anything not related to making...
This may be old news to some, but I only just found this TV show from 2017. Trawling through the Pluto tv app I came across a show where a guy took a Stirling and a Boxter to make a one-off car with...
Congrats Rob for getting your Nova on BBC Points West tonight, and having a chance to talk about it, at the Car Show at Weston Super Mare.
Ill try and share a clip here if I can work out how to...
I’m pretty sure it’s this Nova that used to be owned by a chap called Terry. I spotted him in 2006 in it broken down in a lay-by near Arlesford in Hampshire. He and a mate were topping up the oil as...
Glad to see parts of the old body getting used… the parcel tape reminds me of how my rear end now looks… waiting for me to make a start with the glass. I have great respect for you guys making parts...
Haven't got the original panel, it was in the tinware that went to the scrapyard… but as you can see in the picture below a significant part of the light was covered by the overhang of the boot lid...
Decided to bite the bullet and make a start on my least favourite aspect…. Filling, sanding and shaping to try to create a new rear end…. give me electrics anytime :help:..

I assume it’s this one.

I don’t recognise the current sellers name. The registration number is not in the current owners database, that’s not to say that a previous...
I used to live in Cupar in the 90’s and loved the roads round Fife, especially out round Craill, I used to ride a Kawasaki GPz. In those days the tarmac was smooth and those winding coast roads were...
Alistair, thanks for keeping this record up to date. A great resource for Nova owners.
When I first created the spreadsheet, before I shared it with Euro-Nova and you took over the maintenance, I...

When you put something on for sale you can set a minimum feedback rating that you’ll accept bids from, but real scammers can generate false feedback, so it’s not a fail safe way. I personally have...
Great update. I take inspiration and ideas from you and others on this site, you make fibreglassing seem so easy… I’ve just invested in multiple rolls of aluminium tape in preparation for some...
Yes, his name is David, he’s on this site as Roverexpert but not seen any posts about his build here yet.
Transferring the MGTF wiring to the PVB chassis was very straightforward. The only...
Didn’t manage to get sorted in time for Newark but progress has been made in the garage.
First off the list was to figure out how to use the existing MG brake light switch with the Pie Valley...
Well done to all those that attended and to Gary for the excellent overview..
This’ll be that bandstand that Gary mentioned …. The Newark 2008 show. Nena the Nova debut I think?

Lucked in (sort of) on Facebook marketplace and managed to get some Protech adjustable coilovers for next to nothing…. a guy with a Ginetta G40 selling 11 pairs. Although they fit, and will be useful...
Yup, your eyesight is better than mine. A Mk1 / Mk2 mix. I wonder if anyone on the site knows the original builder; the Reg is not in the owners database.

Wiring looks like the usual rats-nest, this time behind the passengers seat, so at least you may be able to fix it when the roof stops working…
Nice seats though..

Yup, too many YouTube videos these days of people flipping cars for a quick profit, then people get sucked in by what looks like a neglected classic and find they’ve got months of work for little...
