And tbh i wouldnt do it with a mint shell either.... since you have to cut most of it up you might aswell sell the mint one on for a reasonable ammount and then buy a slightly less glamourous one to do teh work on

[jammyjoe]

what rear diff did they use in that???

[jammyjoe]

if i've got a mint shell do you reckon just doing 2ltr frontwheel drive instead???

[Mike]

mk2 escort rear diff and prop shaft iirc?

who would you be doing this conversion for? yourself or for "us" ?

its your call at the end of the day.

cheers lads for your help

it would be very very nice but, probably a pig, 4wd would be more of a pig but well worth it no doubt, its the only thing scoobies and evos have on big power novas, there is a place called sussex engine centre in eastbourne that has one just like the photo, they also have a pug 206 with a c20xe which has a rwd conversion.

youd have to get a diffrent gear box i think, modifies prop shafts etc, could try an old manta or chevette for those parts!
anyway, RWD is coooooooool ;)

im going about this the other ya buy puttin the front of a nova in the back of one. got a ex cop 20seh with 35k on it for mine, just going to wait till the winter and start it then cause i have to much on at the min

[jammyjoe]

rearwheel drive is the future. cheers lads
