Nova chop part2!!

[skud52]

im sure everyone can remember the turquise green nova chop that we did a couple of m0onths ago one weekend, we'll we have started working on it again and have chopped the front off and are in the process of taking the boot floor out of a lovley 1.2 mk2.

the plan is to fit the front engine into the back so we have rear wheel drive.

pics to follow later because we need a infrared jobbie.

Discuss :lol:

2.4L 16v twin cam 4x4x4
thats going to be struggling to make 100bhp lol

[justnovas]

that is true but I bet you will help put a 2L in so we can play when it is done.
I let them chop cars to stop them from getting on at me to do it, I never get time to play so I give them the ideas and let them do all the work.

I,m happy to say we can donut a nova and it is good fun.

[skud52]

good fun doesn't come close describing the night we had last night :lol: :lol:

needs a bit more welding tho :P

[Philsutton]

that was the best fun ive had for ages, may only be a 1.2 but we had doing proper donuts :D until the engine sort of dropped out. Got some videos of it going round.

[justnovas]

well some of us are trying to welding it back up to go again and get some pic in day
than welding is not your strong point is it phil

[Philsutton]

not really, but it wants more than just welding

[justnovas]
