Can vouch for this, my mate built the Nova and did a top job - shame he never had it on the road.

Good luck with the sale.

Is there a reason why this was never finished?, it was basically there with all the hard work done but changed hands a few times with no one putting further progress in, over a long period aswell, cant understand why it never got there?

Alot of projects end up unfinished which is a shame. I have loads of cars and with working away alot its a waste to have it and do nothing with it. All the hard works done. It needs someone to build it up and use it. I drove it 1st time I owned it and it was an animal. It weighs FA!

Properly tempting!

Would feed my YB and Nova addictions at the same time.

If I wasnt already knee deep in projects I'd be all over that.

Rwd and red top would be absolutely trivial as you can buy an off the shelf adaptor bell housing to fit the redtop onto a cossie t5 gearbox.

4wd would be less trivial as no such equivalent available for the cossie 4wd gearbox

Way to do it really would be to make a skyline box fit, SO much better in the first place than a cossie box and not really any dearer to buy, so if you were converting something it may as well be that instead.

Well going to sit down and have a good think about this tonight,
My focus is now ready for road, just got final mapping to sort and stuff,
But i would love this as a sinple toy, not for going fast, but simply, xe engine rwd
Nice livley lump and get the rear end to step out if you wanted it to as been n/a it must be much more controlable than a turbo rwd imo (not owned a rwd turbo car before)

Got nowhere to put it and no time to go and fetch it from scotland sadly mate.

Got far too many projects on the go already, just literally got no time or space left for another one.

If it was when I wasnt so busy with work I'd quite happily just reshell my 3door into it, so its not even like it would cost much as already got all the bits.
