You're probably right..Suitable... No such thing
Are you learning to weld ? ????????????I'll keep it in mind but like I said, I was just throwing ideas up in the air..
I'm away at the end of the month then I'm going to start looking for a suitable Nova...
...probably
That's what Novas are suitable for
Not read all the replies but they're cheap fun if you find a good one, but if you look at the technical details, K series engine, Metro hydrolastic suspension and other items..... Sounds like a recipe for disaster!
im sure Royston had one?
I could be wrong but I think Royston bought one though a few years back and actually enjoyed them.
edit: missed the above post.
Yes the later ones (TF) adopted conventional suspension but of course don't come along for pennies...
well, as you can fit all sorts of engines into a mini using modified 100 series(later metro) subframes, and the mgf rear end is basically a later metro setup, I'd imagine it would be an excellent basis for some large engine fitting type tuning.....
so when the engine dies, junk the k series & fit something much bigger/more powerful
Royston is your man. He currently has one and also worked on development of some of the components
Yes I have an early VVC, great fun to drive, have K series head gasket issues, but if its been done (properly) they are fine.
The head gaskets are easy to do (bit tighter in an F/TF) I have done 3.
Head light reflectors deterioiate on F's
F's with hydroelastic suspension ride better that TF's with conventional springs. You takes your money and makes your choice!
They were/are at rock bottom but I am noticing prices are beginning to rise
My VVC goes well
If you need any more info get in touch, mines resting this year as I'm getting the Sport out this year
