Thats cool guys, build away. But its more work than you imagine it is. The tunnel alone took me about 40-45 hours of solid work

Never imagined it would be easy mate, but worth doing in my eyes, the mid engined nova's just dont do it for me so im well up for the hard work and time to have something ive wanted for a while now. Keep it up pal cant wait to see this beast done :thumb:
thats a mint build
its unique its cool, you can clearly see you know what your doing and the workmanship is tip top!
ignore the busy body know it alls, bunch of t-wats
REP your way Mr A
Thanks for the support guys, I doubt very much I will be working on her this weekend. It's the weekend before Billing and a little corsa-B has come up for sale. Its owned by a right chav who lives 2drs along from Jamie, its been running on 3 cylinders for months and finally something has died in the engine so he is selling it for £150! It's black, lowered with some really smart 17s. I fancy buying it to run about in till the nova is done, if I can get down there and buy it this friday I can have a very special engine fitted over the weekend (1.3 8v Turbo)
very nice work mate, pics of the corsa if you do buy :)
From what I can remember the shell itself is fine, just the engine has been abused a lot (1.2 16v)
Let me start off by saying I like the idea of this build and some of the engineering.
What I'm most bemused by however is the use of bloody great 2MM right angle bits of steel when it's married to a tubular steel frame and 1MM factory floorpan.
I'm not impressed by the way the two tubes, acting as a subframe are welded to the chassis legs in the bay either. Those tubes could have been tied in beautifully with some carefully thinking & bracketry but instead each one got an inch of weld 25º from the strengthening plate.
oh here we go........ (keeps stchum)
Id be surprised if i manage to do mine within two years :)Quote:

no? then leave your negative opinions to yourself. Know it all morons started nitpicking on MIG and the thread was deleted, I don't have the patience.... or haven't you been reading?
