    Default Mid Engined RWD Vauxhall Nova Project

    SOLD

    I know its a Cliche giving up a project before its finished but I am finding it harder and harder to find the time to work on my project
    I'm looking to sell the car in one of three ways:
    a) Shell (including rear sub frame + hubs + cage + wide arches etc.)
    b) Rolling chassis (as above but with wheels, full set of coil overs)
    c) Complete setup (as above with V6 brakes, engine, gearbox, shafts, ECU, loom and boxes and boxes of other parts).
    I have taken 100's of hours and spent over two thousand pounds on this project and I'm feeling a bit stupid selling it but if i dont its just sit around gathering dust.
    I'm looking for offers for the car in any of the ways listed above, As a rough idea I'm looking for 500 quid for the shell and parts listed in (a) but im open to offers!
    The project is based on a 92 (K reg) Nova 1.2 LUXE, the rear floor pan has been completely cut out, railed and tubbed for a Corsa C sub-frame setup complete with ARB.
    The front panel + cross member has been replaced and the rear end has been widened by over 100mm plus coil overs are fitted front & rear.
    A 2001 Vectra SXI engine is mounted in the rear and the loom is ready to be spliced in (I have all of the data required).

    Nooooooooooooooooo

    If i had the cash/time i'd take it off you, and even if i did I'd end up having to give half of it up in a divorce settlement!

    Shame you cant finish it and good luck with selling it if you do decide to.

    I feel a dick for wanting to sell it but I was seriously messing with my work life by spending far to much time down my workshop.. I thought I could hack it but evidently I dont have the time

    I would rather sell the car as a rolling shell or just the shell so I can use the engine for another project but if someone offers me the right price they can have everything.

    What sort of mounts are there for the engine, would an older small/big block mount to it with relative simplicty?

    Ive got several different setups I've been playing with which are suitable for small blocks.. But Ideally it needs a late Corsa C engine side mount (the one that goes under the cambelt) to keep everything ballenced.
