no way as if someone has done this back many moons ago when i owned my nova sr i always thought how good it would of been to drop the cosworth engine in instead of the c20let
Theres a full build up of it on the performance nova group.The builder broke his escort cosworth up to build it.Would be interesting to see how much it weighed etc.Bet it would be pretty nuts when finished.
External wastegate pipe looks shocking, when you see stuff like that it really puts me off a car you wonder what other bodges have been done you cant see.

got to admit, I was thinking the same about the external wasteagte pipe.

Even more so when you cant take it out for a test drive.
Before I bought something like that I would want to be taking it with the seller for an MOT and getting the chance to look under it etc, so you can see what the real issues are before its ready for the road.
shame it aint finished. sounds good in writing but has yet to be 'proven'. specially the engine.
The engine is the one thing I wouldnt be too worried about, easiest thing in the world to throw together a working YB, its if things like the rear suspension work is shit that you have a major problem.
an why on earth would u break a Ł12k car to put the bits on a nova an sell it for Ł6k? good concept tho if its been done properly
Well presumably you would see a lot of money back from the shell, the registation, the interior, the panels, the bumpers etc
So the running gear probalby wouldnt end up costing you too much.

yh i did think of that but its a lot of effort so with the time considered too its a complete waste especially as its not finished to which u gotta ask why

Lots of people start projects and then dont finish them, when its something that is going to take you years your priorities can change, maybe he got his mrs up the duff or something.
I believe that in the build thread on performance nova group page, the builder said that he was fed up of everywhere he went in his escort cossie he was attracting attention,everyone looking etc and unwanted attention aswel as he couldnt park it anywhere,so built this instead. Although tat doesnt explain the shade on the wheels!
