Just purchased this msa log booked Nova shell last week.
Came with no engine or gearbox which i don't mind as i can go as wild as i want
Just want to build a fast track/ road car
Few pictures of it the day after i bought it before it went into my garage
It is a very clean shell, Obviously been welded before in engine bay but it is fully strengthened, seam welded and well looked after over the years.
Also bought these to fit aswell :D
Had to make custom brakets as they are terribly wide!
Started then the other night so after another night and some bracing it will be finished!
Not going to be much of an update as i am away offshore tommorrow for two weeks.... But means two weeks of ebay buys i suppose so i have lots to come home and do :P
Still not sure what engine to run in it. Was thinking of a 1.6xe on throttle bodies so its light and nippy but we will see! I do have a complete vectra with an x18xe1 engine but there is so few mods for this engine which is kinda putting me off. Any opinions on these two engines?
Obviously there is the red top route but i find the big blocks just to heavy for a fwd nova.
Helped my mate do his 2.0xe nova a few years ago,
Heres some pics
Thanks for looking and any hep along the way will be appreciated. Especially engine choice wise
