985cc Turbocharged Nova Sprint Car

[TeddyThom]

Funnily enough that's something I had thought about on many occasions.

My computer skills/equipment aren't up to it, so who wants to earn a few quid by making me some self-adhesive Mk.1 Nova headlamp stickers?

I can do this... I can make my own vinyls as well... They not uber fantastic and aren't huge but I can do some headlamps if you wanted? Just got to find a half decent picture of said headlamps

Excellent, that would be much appreciated, thanks.

Who can e-mail me a couple of good quality photos of an offside and nearside Mk.1 Nova headlamp with CLEAR indicators?

I don't have any clear indicators currently!

Or you can email them to me whichever is good , by the way if you put them onto the car then you will definately need some UV Lacquer spray, otherwise they will fade or wash off in the rain, that's happened to me before where I did some vinyls for their motorbike and didn't put any lacquer on it, then went through a huge puddle and it all washed off on one side

The rear disc brake conversion is now all tacked together, complete with caliper mounting brackets.

I need to trial fit it on the car now, and see how it all looks/fits.

We machined down the stub axle and mounted it differently which should mean the track is only increased by around 10mm each side. But we will see better when it's bolted to the car and a wheel is fitted!

Very nice colin

Nice work dude, I'd love to see this for real, is it going to be making an appearance at Billing next year?? I'm hoping to be going there with my nova, it "should" be done by then

Yes, Billing is definitely in my diary for next year.

This morning I did a deal to buy the complete set of body panels from this Nova (apologies for the poor photo);



Possibly the widest arch Nova ever?

I probably won't be using the arch kit as it's just a bit too wide, but there were composite doors, bonnet, tailgate and some moulds in with it, so it had to be bought.

Just read through this whole thread. In short, this car, and the work going into it is brilliant
