985cc Turbocharged Nova Sprint Car

Colin, if you have some funky dazzling paint job, any visit to the scenery will cost tons to put right.. Plain white isn't quite so expensive to repair..but i have to say that lambo green is rather nice

Agreed, the costs of damage repair and the complication of a pearl finish are the major things putting me off.

The other big tempter is a bit of retro, in the form of the Bernard Munster Corsa A/Bruno Thiry works-spec. rally cars from the early 90's;

I love the 3 stripe irmscher look, but it would be a sod to get right over those arches, but that cally does look nice..

You could do some 'secondhand nova bits' stickers for each flank in the style of the opel ones....

Thanks Dave, I was struggling to find a still photo of the Munster car, plenty of videos though, which are good to watch again!

I think my wide arch Nova would look great in that colour scheme, although it would mean painting the carbon bonnet white to get the full effect.

This is a tough decision to make.........blue, green, yellow, white, multicoloured..........

I've acquired this rather super little carbon fibre housing, apparently it's from an F1 car, but it will make a perfect console to house my switches and circuit breakers;







The white paper on top is just my template for the piece of carbon I'll cut out to make the top panel. I guess it had one once, but it's now AWOL......

A friend of mine had his Sport decal'd up with the flying chips, looked ace.

do it white as thats direct gloss, you dont want to have to put a base coat then lacquer, will weigh to much.

As burgo said. 2 pack ftw.. and try not to use any zinc primer as that is heavier !!
