Nova 1.3 T40 - Project

Since I sold the Nova Sport shell I decided to make something a wee bit different using some of the Nova Sport bits

Picked up this wee shell from Jamie (G111MDS) off here last night, hope he doesn't mind me using his pictures from his forsale thread...

Going to get the wee bits welded that need done, 2/3 nights work at the most

Needs behind the back shocks at either sides patched, a wee patch on the back panel and a wee hole welded on the drivers door and I'm going to get back arches put on it as well

Heres some pictures and a rough spec after them:

Going to be rebuilding and using my old Nova Sport 1300 8v engine and putting the Sport 40's and Irmscher manifold on it - Probably upgrade the Cam and fire a 4-branch on there as well

It'll also have early bumpers on it, GTE spoiler, RFX's in 14" or 15" if I can source them and a full Nova Sport interior

Also hoping to get some Bilsteins for it as well

Hopefully some updates soon

Cheers, Vaughan

so will look like a sport but you wont be afraid to play about because its not genuine? sounds good to me :D

Forgot to say it'll be painted Glacier White as well :thumb:

Even if it was a proper Sport it would be used and abused lol

Rally car for the road! Looks a good base shell vaughan good luck

Something like that Leeboo, a far better shell than the Sport anyway...

looks like a solid little car but there is a certain feeling you get when driving a genuine shell and 10L FTW

Not making it into a Sport replica though :) Just a nice useable white Nova with some Sport parts :thumb:

nice shell chum
i think you should of kept the sport shell :(

I don't - This is a far better idea and much better use of my money :)

I'll get another Sport sometime

Good luck with the project! Really reasonable shell and will make a good base for your plans. Lack of space together with a new toy meant I couldn't keep hold of it. Glad to see its gone to someone who will rebuild and get some use from it.
