Post by nicanor »

Alright, so here's my kit. Interior was just gutted, rewiring the car, redoing/customising the dash and redoing the body lines. Here's picts:

http://members.linkopp.com/flat4/kitside.jpg
http://members.linkopp.com/flat4/kitrear.jpg

The picts are photoshopped to the body lines I'd liek to make it into. But my Chopped Oval project and '62 Mini Cooper comes first so I probably won't be doing much to this kit till next year.

I showed you mine, now show me yours.

I'll show the Kelmark as soon as my new Canon S330 gets here AND I learn how to use it.

I still haven’t figured out how to use my IP’s digital storage system. It shouldn’t be all that hard.

Mine as it looked a few months ago.

NOT IN THES PICS are the new wheels and tires (and other mods). After a lot of agonizing over exact dimensions, and modifying the front wheel wells, I finally got the wheels and tires that fit. Big 'uns.

mmmmmmm, Nova.....
They're next to null here in the States. All we have are Sterlings and Sebrings. I'd love to get a RHD Nova Image Hope my Sebring turns up as nice as yours.

Nicanor, a Sterling/Sebring IS a Nova!

The Nova was designed by Richard Oakes in the UK, in the early 70's (71/72..?). In subsequent years the design was licenced all over the world. The Sterling and Sebring are 2 examples of these licenced Novas. Sure, they have been modified slightly from the original design, but then I have never 2 Novas that haven't been mofified. After all, Novas were never designed to do this:

I saw your site earlier, hard finding any info on the net for our cars. I'm aware that all 3 are basically the same cars with minor changes here and there. I like the tilt front ends though, too much work to do that on mine. Some pluses and minuses on each of our car's designs when compared to each other. I'd rather have a Nova since it's technically the origninal ones and next to impossible to find in the States. Not that there's swarms of Sebrings/Sterlings in US to compete with .....

How much do our cars weigh anyways? I've seen many different numbers, not sure which are correct.

You need to have your picture hosted on the net somewhere (like http://www.imagestation.com or e-mail the pic to me and i'll host it on my site, and then you can put the full URL address between {img}{/img} tags (using square brackets, not curly ones Image

Dave, that is one clean, simple, beautiful Manx. Very well done. Did you build it? I have an Empi, but love the original Manx style. Mine is here:
