    Tuthill cables or cable craft as they trade under for small jobs, based on the south coast of the uk will make whatever you want to order.. really damn fine value too, but don't let on you think they are cheap as my set I had for the vx200 were about £120 and then when they went with it for a proper product they hit £3-400

    I like how the skirt design is a nod to the original nova ones.

    2 years, 2 months and nearly 2 week since i put the angle grinder to use and cut out the boot floor. Left over, a lot of memories which i would hate to miss altough some of them led me on a wrong path but ultimately showed me the way forward. The nova with its subaru mid engine can surely be considered as a unique build which has been unprecedented to this day. Just thinking of that lets grow a grin on my face, especially the thought that someone could be that "bonkers" to build something like that, altough the person in question is me.

    Here the first of august is considered as a national holiday, unfortunately because of the heat, this year its forbidden to use fireworks to celebrate it. In order to subsitute for asscociated noise of that day i presented it in other form to my neighbors. I doubt there where any flames coming from the exhaust, so at least i conformed to the ban of any fires for barbeques

    Therefore, here's a not very exciting video of the rollout of my frankenstein contraption, which proofs that the monster lives and moves under its own power. Muahahahahahaha




    Of course, pictures are mandatory aswell:

    Fresh out of the shed


    Surreal width: 181cm




    Nice Underbody, no oil pan sticking out, perfect for a flat floor




    The rear wheels nicely positioned. New brake rotors and pads aswell.


    Badass


    See you next time

    Very impressive, it just looks awesome and unique, a real achievement. Have you taken it out on the open road yet?
