    Nova project for sale.

    Hi all.

    Here's another project for sale if anyone is looking for a rebuild project.

    It says floor pan but includes a Nova body as well.

    http://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/...eetle-floorpan.

    Cheers.

    I fear it may be missing the V5 as there is no mention of it - and this may be the reason why the project has been abandoned?

    Quick update.

    Hi all.

    I've asked the question on the other forum to see if there are any documents.

    Cheers.

    It's been mentioned on there that someone thinks the chassis has been shortened, which should not be the case for a nova; I suspect they have looked at the modification on the tunnel where the gear shift position has been relocated?
    (Although there do seem to be two sections of the tunnel that look to have been 'repaired'?)

    Yes I did read that but I think who ever said it is getting confused with the seat wells being lowered & the gear shift being moved like you said.

    I hope the seller can come up with some V5 info for it. It looks like he's selling it for his uncle.

    I also wanted to point them to this site as it may help someone who buys it & bring it to the forum as a new member.

    Cheers.

    update on V5.

    Hi all.

    I've had a look tonight & the seller has a V5 but it's not got beetle on it. I've ask for abit more info.

    Plus it sounds like they have most if not all of the Nova panels etc.

    Worth a look & keeping an eye on if your looking for a project.

    Cheers.
    Mostin.
