    Fiar play, but anyone that cuts up a Cosworth to use it in a Nova conversion really needs to have there head examined IMHO.

    EDIT: The silver Escos a runner or is it that supplying a donor engine?

    Christ. Surely the front is longer than the nova wings will cover? Willit all line up? Looks a lot bigger!

    didn't think i'd see another one like this mate..
    you seem to have the floor to far forward.. you have cut the front of the nova off so now you have not got exact point where the sierra needs to go, you will need to measure all parts side to side and diagonally as well as straight front to rear.. i did the floor in colins 4x4 nova i've done escorts, clio v6, proton, now 206.. all wheels lined up correctly just measure and measure again to make sure... good luck..
