  1. Cimbria SS

    I've got the same system Brett uses (haven't played with it properly yet) as an option for the scooby Nova, and I've got an aftermarket for the Alfa Nova, which is sort of fitted, but not connected fully to the dash vents yet. The pandemic put a stop to trips to the UK for a couple of years, so...
  2. Cimbria SS

    I guess a lot has to do with the height of the dash. For me being 6' 4" my feet go all the way to the bulkhead, so any HVAC has to sit higher above my toes, which doesn't leave a lot of room
  3. Cimbria SS

    You must have so much more space in the Cimbria than the Sterling if you can keep the OEM HVAC....I'm jealous!
  4. Sterling #S009

    I've not been back on this site for so long as I thought it was effectively dead, but got prompted by an email update to take a look. Brett's progress is amazing, really looking good. Unrelated question, the site and photos loading seems soooooo Sloooooow.....is it just me or do others find...
  5. Cimbria SS

    Wow, you really did get lucky with that dash fitting as it does, just the loss of the passenger side vent and all else pretty much lines up. I ended up doing a lot of cut n shut with my Subaru dash and then made a buck for it, which as Brett will attest to is a ton of work (he inspired me to...
  6. Ray's CCC #S068 Build

    The car and paint is looking nice, and another Nova / Sterling with the Norecar Moon Ace GT light pods. Did you buy the lights from them too or source them separately?
  7. Another Nova from across the pond saying Hi!

    I figured that I better get a spare set of the OEM inserts for the dash as I don't plan to start making these and if something happened to them and the dash would be incomplete. I didn't want to buy a whole new dash just for those and luckily found someone selling them online, albeit with a...
  8. Making OEM guages work with the VW cable

    I have been exploring the idea of using an OEM gauge cluster with the VW speedo cable. Most OEM clusters need some form of pulse speed input from the ECU, gearbox or ABS rings etc.. With a combination of one or more of the products on the following links I think we could probably use almost any...
  9. The strength of our cars

    One of the UK Nova's had a nasty accident, some idiot shunted him from behind spinning him off into the barrier. It's a testament to the strength of the fibreglass that no one was hurt. You can check out the damage here Micks Red Nova - Page 48
  10. letterman7 Don't Do it!

    Rick, Brett et al, I have been a member of the Nova International site and saw what happened when someone got upset, so much knowledge was lost as a result. I also joined the Sterling site for a different perspective and new ideas, and there are some great ones here. Now when it comes to...
  11. Lifting the Nova / Sterling Body

    Hi, I have a question for you all and I am after some ideas. Previously when I had the body off my Nova I have another person around to help me lift it off the chassis, plus I only took it off once and after working on the chassis dropped floors and suspension I put it back and didn’t take it...
  12. One for all the Scooby aficionado’s out there

    If looking for a donor Subaru for a conversion (complete car for engine, loom, other electricals, gauges etc..) which are the ones to go for (I don’t want the turbo’s to lessen the headaches)? What would be the maximum mileage you should ideally go for? Or is the accepted view that you will...
  13. Another Nova from across the pond saying Hi!

    Hi, Whilst I have skulked around this site for a while I never fully introduced myself. I mainly post on the Euro-Nova website in the UK. Well may name is David and I’ve owned my Nova for 24 years (yes you heard right), my car is still in the UK but I live in Singapore so as you can imagine...
