I too would like to know where this Project stands, I supplied the engine and gearbox, and knew they would be awesome in a Nova. Hopefully it will see light of day soon.

Nice to see your still on with this build Ste, looking better now your getting more done ;)
Cheers southie. Iv got the bug again, plus tony has a bit of free time to get it sorted.
As above, glad to see this moving again!
I think it was Tony's monster of a project I saw on another thread - was it a V8 twin turbo or something in an old ford? He finished that now?
That will be his riff chopped mk2 cortina. He's not finished it yet but it's certainly getting there. Very talented at what he does.
I second that!Quote:

Tony's started fibreglassing the gap in the wing will then need filling to get the shape

If you keep some of that gap in the back of the wide front arches you can reduce the drag & add some downforce.
That looks awesome! I so wish I spaceframed the front of mine.
It's looking mean as feck now :)

There hasn't really been any progress in the last 2/ 3 years. Got a bit more love for it again recently so spending a big of time on it whenever I can.
When it's finished we'll all look back on this thread and enjoy how long you took as its been worth while..... But crack on as I want you to fill it up before petrol gets banned lolQuote:
