View Full Version : just once
Me and mike were talking on MSN, and ended up with this. Something you'd like to do to or in a Nova, just once?
So, my question to the masses is, what would you do (Realistically please) if you could?
For me? Maybe a LET 4x4 conversion, one of those crazy, home built 5 year long projects that become myth of the interweb, then just appear at a show one day and prove all the doubters wrong.....
VOTED: Had to go Burgo, but 2nd option is 4x4 LET for sure :thumb:
Ive had a hair brained plan to slap a VR6 lump in one for quite a while now. I got as far as measuring it all up, but im no Austin, and the fabrication involved would be monumental for an amateur like me.
Maybe one day when ive learned to weld properly, and my workshop is fully equipped.

i actully want to legaly drive a nova weither it be a 1.0 ora 400bhp let
mines gettin a full rebuild for next years 25 years thingy ma jig...
but id like a v8 nova
Already built an XE & LET Nova, will build a 4x4 one day, No interest in driving a Sport or owning a concours Nova, will beat a supercar when i come across one ;) , Old shells have more character than new ones, whats a propper car ? Burgo - wtf ?
That justs leave the 'Ring' which i'd love to drive, even if its only once !!

why put a pinto in a viva when a c20xe would be much better and fit easier?

If i could do anything, im sorry to say but it would be gone... too many problems and not enough time!
You need to add "find the time to finish the current project" to the list!
I'd love one of these mythical new shells - then build a concourse GTE/GSi
