- This 1978 Sterling Nova had been abandoned in a barn since 1985. While cleaning it, the guys at WD Detailing found a mouse nest, a mouse carcass, and almost four decades' worth of dust and debris.
One of the car's most unique features is that it has no doors; passengers can only enter by lifting up the top. This posed a unique challenge for the detailers while cleaning. They got to work on the interior with a vacuum, antibacterial spray, an extractor, and a steamer. They tackled the exterior with a vacuum, buffer, foam spray, and a power washer. The vehicle needs to be repaired before hitting the road.

How 37 Years Of Debris Is Deep Cleaned From An Abandoned Sterling Nova | Deep Cleaned | Insider
OMG.
That’s a Nova, English kit car from mid 70’s.
My brother had one.
VW powered 4 sp stick.
It was all fiberglass on tubular frame.
The top lifted up on gas struts, held down by 2 clasps 1 on each side.
Running gear was VW, popular at the time slow & noisy but looked great.
Big brother traded it for a TVR 2.5. Those were the days.
BIG
Thank You
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
This is not a Nova. It is a Sterling. Norm Rose and Cecil Robertson bought the rights to the Nova and made them in California and Illinois. They could not use the name "Nova" for obvious reasons. My Sterling is serial number B57 and was made in Illinois. The English Nova was right-hand drive. The American Sterling is left-hand drive. Which side the steering wheel is on is the easiest way to tell the difference between an English Nova and an American Sterling.
Got here by TH-cam recommendations and what a satisfying find. If I saw these cars on a barn I'd want to see the best version of it too and this car is looking awesome and beautiful to my eyes
Praise to the algorithm for it sometimes brings gems to the surface.
Restoring is so satisfying. I have only ever done it once with a car, I restored a rotting 1989 Honda CRX in 2011. The admiring looks it got when I drove it was worth all the hard work
I like how you cleaned the tires like they're safe to use
That was my first thought too.
I mean, they do not look too worn down so they could still be used maybe? (I’m no expert, don’t expect me to be completely right)
@@crunchybro123 Tires go bad with age from oxidation and the rubber gets brittle, wear isn't the only factor.
Highly doubt this vehicles gonna be driven.
Mainly done just for the reveal for the client, it gives an impression of what the car will look like with new tyres.
Never heard of the car but the restoration is amazing
yea so its basically a spaceship with wheels attached to it
@@trollpatrol1163 it has a beetle engine, that's like 25-40 hp. No warp speed. :P
SpeedDaemon3 sounds like a poor man's delorean.
@@SpeedDaemon3 Might be very light too, so... =)
It looks like a car from the movie Back To The Future!!!!! Right????
Usually not a fan of canned music in the background but you negated that through talking through the steps and offering some great insights and a beautiful job on this kit car. It's not known for its ability to last over time, I wasn't expecting the results you got.
There seems to be something deeply meaningful in the restoration of these cars! The metaphorical second chance!
There’s a Matchbox toy car version of this car. I thought MB made it up as a kid but it’s really cool to see the actual car. Great video.
MB did the C111, which looks a bit like this one, with a similar colour pattern, so I don't know?
To me the car is quite similar to the Holden Hurricane, kinda the same color scheme too, reminiscent of the 70s wedge cars era
MAN this car is art in its purest form-beautiful!✨🙏🏻
Ugliest thing I’ve seen all day
Not a car guy but that, that's a beautiful piece of motor history :-)
I hope that you can get it and drive it Marra 👍
Never imagined cleaning anything would be that satisfying...
With the way the door opens, pray it never flips over
I enjoyed this restoration. Actually watched all of it. Was rooting to see the vibrant orange.
This is so satisfying 😌
Watched the entire thing very satisfied
Are we impressed you watched it all? Why wouldn't you?
To see a vehicle restored after rotting away in some barn for years is so satisfying to watch.
The most incredible part is how you keep your pants dry while pressure wash.
True professional.
I think it's even nicer to leave that black paint in a patina style and the orange like new.
Great job👍
Not seen one of these in very long time.
They might be a gutless wonder but what fun to drive.
Lmao the shock when the carpet ripped from just the vacuum.
That's a cool car. Nice job boys!! Keep fixing those old cars and get them back on the road where they belong!!
Really love to see its running
Car restoration is always fun thing to watch
Would be awesome to put in a car collection for sure!!
Such a cool looking car ✨
Such a beautiful car!
I watch these guys TH-cam channel cool hard working guys
I didn't even know this model existed 😂. Still, amazing work =)
Beautiful job done ❤️
Beautiful
3:41 sounds like that scene in a zombie game where it’s like “Hey, I heard there was an old pre apocalypse lambo sitting out there in the old casino. I’ll offer to pay you some good money if you can retrieve that vehicle for me”
*no se que tienen los autos antiguos que me llaman tanto la atención 💫💫 cada que veo uno es como ":0" y no parar de verlo*
Beautiful, nice to see.
that's quite satisfying, except now I'm inagining how dirty the inside surfaces of the tyres and the underside of the car are! xD
I'm a little impressed with the mice for dragging walnuts into the car.
This has the energy of Toy Story 2’s cleaning Woody scene
I am a very wealthy businessman, many many years in the ice cream game, and I love my sports cars. I am always on the road, only me myself and the miles of road. I have doubles of the barracudas and triples of the novas.
Actually I also have triples of the road runners, and now I got triples of the barracudas too.
Thanks for the year of car, my class.
Cool car, cool detail. Thanks. (chassis is pronounced 'chassy')
R.I.P. Mouse, he was a good dude
Like the Purvis Eureka from Australia.
id like AMMO NYC cleaning details hope they could have a content here in Insider
satisfying 🥲
It happened again. He said "1985" and I thought "That wasn't 37 years ago, it was 17." 🤦🏻♀️ Time flies when you're having fun lol.
That "mouse nest" sitting behind the dash!
my last house had an external store building that was solid but damp in the winter, and I put a bunch of less important stuff in there to save space. I didn't touch it until I moved, and found fieldmice had colonised it. "all they do is chew and gnaw", I thought, "so it won't be too bad. might have to throw out a few things."
nope. mice in large numbers PISS. they piss SO MUCH. most of the stuff I threw away was because dozens of mice had been pissing on it for months or years. I think they had communal piss troughs. even worse than that as a smell was the recently dead and rotting mice inside a box. imagine how corpsey a smell has to be to get ground into ceramic mugs for half a year before dissipating.
anyway, mice piss a lot. the more you know
Every day is a school day😂😂
he said chass sis😂
I'm more surprised on the tire condition considering it's been sitting for long and didn't look like any part of the tire were deteriorating
Damnn that is a nice car
1970s cars are amazing, European, Japanese, American, doesn't matter they are all cool
Did it sell yet? Where would you list it if so?
ellams of Mirfield were the original manufacturers of the Nova kit car. it was a super futuristic car. pity the beetle running gear lol
Talkin bout barn finds in Forza
This is what happens behind the scenes every time you get a barn find in forza
I was scrolling through the comments hoping someone would mention a Forza reference lol
I would pay double if I would see it like that after beautiful guys
Idc what the value of your car is I could never let my car become a garage queen
cool
It looks like the 'Durango 95' from Clockwork Orange.
The GT Bradley was then and still is now a better kit.
You really need to check out ChrisFix‘ guide on how to deep clean your rims and tires
Yay top 115 comments. Love this content.
I would buy thus car
What kind of mad Men just stores car looking that cool in a barn for 40 years
I never understand having a beautiful vehicle and just leaving it to rust somewhere. In 2017, I bought a 1994 Dakota off a lawman. Guy had spent about $20,000 rebuilding the entire thing part by part. He said that he took it for its inaugural drive, parked it under a tree and forgot about it. I got it, did a good amount of work and got it to the point where it ran with no issue in a -45 blizzard. Eventually, I had to sell it though because, while it ran in a blizzard, it didn’t have a working heater and every auto shop in my big city refused to put one in for me. What was really sad was I wasn’t the one who sold it, the people who sold me my next car demanded I let them sell it since they were “giving [me] such a great deal.” And, the next time I saw that truck, it was being driven by two old white farmers who were using it like an ashtray and strapped a pair of truck balls to the back. That vehicle deserved more dignity than that.
Far out. Looks like the mouse found some of that 1970's kush to make its nest out of man.
Warum lässt man so ein tolles Auto nur so versiffen? Allein schon der Wert..?
Missed the vent at 8:26 ouch .
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is the puma gt1 little brother made in Mexico and Argentina
Was that the same car type used in Clockwork Orange film?
Man, what a sick car to just leave rotting in a barn.
Looks Like Infernus of GTA: Vice City
Are you sure it was painted? The black is paint, but the body came from the factory with gel coat on top of the fiberglass.
"There's no way to throw away a dead mouse" maybe into a random patch of dirt?
Chassis?
I thought he pronounced that wrong
I've got doubles of the Nova. Remember if that's not true then the other stuff I said isn't true either.
I'd get a whole brand new set of tires on this car.
That cleaner and steam is a quick way to rust out all the electrical switches…..
Great video! Would you mind putting a link to which Tri clean product you use? There's more than one product w that name. Thanks!
🤯🔥🤟🏽👍🏽
NYC ammo bouta be salty 😂
Video title should be "How to ungross a car"
Si yo pudiera mejoraba civic mio 1994 fue las caja de mi sueño y los tengo.y 1995 fue las caja favorita mia si saliera un modelo modenos como hiciero con mustang que fue las misma caja pero moldenas.
Mind sound dumb but I don't know why you bothered cleaning 37 year old tires. They are definitely past their expiry date 😅
I don't even know how to drive and I was thinking that. Even still though, the vintage-ness of the old tyres is nice to look at until they get swapped out.
@@vice.nor.virtue Oh yeah, they definitely look good enough to be in a car show/meet but not foe driving 😅
@@FloodExterminator If you are a driver (unlike me) I'm not surprised that the safety of the car over aesthetics was your first concern.
@@vice.nor.virtue Definitely. Safety comes first and then aesthetics/mods.
A friend has one for sale, needs some work but price is right. $5200
Wait is that the model car the Pink Panther used on the intro 🤣🤣😂🤣
did rich people back in the days all had a ranch/farm to store their cars? The concept of barn car storage is foreign to most people born after the 1990s.
Are the mouses save???
Video needs a trigger warning for the footage of the dead mouse. Time stamp approximately 2:05-2:18 if you want to skip through this part
would it start though?
cool. so after cleaning it, goes directly to the junkyard.
Would like to see the engine.
@Buck Films Maybe but still. 😌
@Buck Films they'll likely swap it, I mean a beetle engine is like 25-40 hp at best...
It will be a rear mounted air cooled 1.6lt at best. VW
I'm surprised they painted a fibreglass body shell, I would have thought they'd just mix the pigment in with the resin. Isn't that the usual way to colour fibreglass? Does car body paint even stick to plastic like that?
You can see it's not painted, it's a gel coat that was polished - the narrator has never seen GRP bodywork before.
To think that at one point in history, that mouse died in that car
Lets have a F in the chat for the mouse.
2mins into the Video and we got over the mouse only when it was dead.
Engine bay?
👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
That pronunciation of chassis though
Thank you! I was beginning to think I was the only one who caught that.
Do KIT cars even sell?
That car belongs to Condorman.
