Another one for the scrap collection :-/

[bazil]

So after selling one of the best novas I've ever owned back in may I decided to buy another project to sit beside my other projects ( maybe one day I'll get one built )

If anyone knows details on running gear and setup from this let me know, it would help me save some time in building it back up.

So far I know it was XE onto a T9 box with english axle, im thinking a RS2000 one piece prop was probably used but wondered if it needs shortened?

Front end was likely capri uprights with insets with coilover conversion rather than the fixed mk1/2 escort stuff, mk2 escort steering rack and column with green TRE's to suit the different threads and most likely I'll be using adjustable bottom arms etc.

Panel wise in not doing much, just throwing on the crap i have lying around for now.

What your plans for it then?

[bazil]

Thanks for that chief,

XE on throttle bodies and omex/dta and a lsd in the axle, just for fun and trackdays etc, will be making it legal for the road too

One of tge things im needing to know is if a rwd exhaust manifold from the xe into a mk2 escort would fit or if the one Austin used was a custom made job
