Good amount of plugs, well worth doing.
Nothing more annoying than running extension leadsQuote:

I can confirm that no matter how much space you have it will get filled up, mostly with stuff you don’t need, and probably that has no great monetary value :)
Looking forward to seeing where this Project goes next. Undoubtedly it looks interesting.....
Well im finally in and working on the super nova hopefully some progress is cominghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5b4e684518.jpg

Anyone know KTOWN ?
He hasn't been on here for a fair while now, and I've PMd him with no response.

All been sold off and moved on to a new project.Quote:

Thanks and that looks very interesting.
Can you tell me more, in particular why the 106 shell? Is the spaceframe specific to that, or more of a universal thing?
What’s the spec going to be for engine, suspension etc.?
The 106 was the basis as i got it cheap and the original car they made was a saxo that no boubt you have seen around on forumsQuote:

Just stumbled on this thread!
Shame the nova didn’t get finished but looks like the new build will be mega!
Hopefully mateQuote:

With the nova, did you feel it was always going to be a compromise making the other chassis fit the nova? Hence, this time something purposefully built to the shell? Or?
Pretty much mate things just wernt working out so had to rethink the whole thing take a step back and start a fresh with something elseQuote:

I get it. I’m putting nissan 200sx running gear into a nova saloon body. I started in 2013 with a simple main hoop and a to b pillar bars and started building the spaceframe from there. Work halted around 2017 and last year restarted, except now I’m going through it back to front redesigning it all. So many times I thought to myself that it would probably be easier to start again! I’m persisting for now.Quote:

Did you get suspension arms as well as the main spaceframe?
