Not A Nova.. But Mini-Based Sabre Sprint

Agreed on Escort, but more like an American one than a European mk3/4 IMO lol

Certainly strange looking whatever it resembles lol. Will go well with a 1275/1330 or even a 1000 engine being made of FG I'll bet lol

Is it a 1000cc now dude?

madness is it just a 1litre thing at the moment?? id get the metro turbo lump or something like that slapped in it!! itl go like sh*t off a stick!!

edit ive allready been well beaten with that comment lol some one beat me to it

so many people have stuck gm & honda lumps into minis, you should go down that route.. the a series my have 50 years of tuning behind it, but it needed it, & a modern engine & box would whip it

the honda conversion used the rover metro (k series) subframe & made the track wider so bigger arches would be needed

for looks, maybe the gartrac mk3 escort rwd would give some pointers

yes but this has a square front & as its made of grp, it could be altered really easily
