    what a stupid comment, why on earth would you want to find a shell that needs plats welded here there and everywere then put a 200bhp engine in it

    this way is the best , not a single bit of structural rot, the shell will last the next 10years easily try saying that about many nova' on the uk roads!

    OMG - what are you on about.

    If you want to build a track/rally/sprint etc car you look for the best/strongest shell you can find with least rot!

    OK, so it will no longer be a 1L Pushrod Merit!? So what?? What would YOU do wityh it? Park it in a garage for 11 months a year and tell everyone you have a MINT 1L Nova?

    sweet!

    Sounds a little sad but, it's such a shame to do this to such an original car. Unless you go Keiths route, and get it dipped, I'd enjoy it for a few months and them see what I'd what to do you with it, it's MINT but hey good luck either road, plus it' your car too

    Think its needs something more special than mistral grey.

    Nice shell, seems a lot of nordic blue ones keep good nick, mine was nordic blue and in spot on condition even with 60k on it.
