    Well said
    And i am a vary good mechanic spent few years at college so my qualifications do mean something.
    Some people may find this conversion hard but that normally down to not having enough cash to do the parts or decent enough parts needed
    So Jon = cash = me = fast little nova.
    Enough said getting boaring now some of you guys need to chill and realise that its not only you that can do a simple conversion

    nick.k, there have been literally hundreds of threads on here where some lad & his pet cat have attempted to fit one in with a tube of no more nails & then we get involved in explaining that the conversion has to be safe & well thought out, which they then don't believe because the lad at the local burger bar knows that it is dead easy & can be done in an afternoon & is a straight swap......

    we tend to get cynical when someone comes on here & starts a 'What do I need to do to fit a LET in my 1.2????' thread, cos the answer is pretty much... if you have to ask, then you shouldn't be doing it.

    it is obviously going to need chassis & shell mods, then decent components, usually an engine rebuild because the LET was actually quite crap (IMO) and will have been thrashed for the last 15 years, and all the stuff that goes with that.

    the tolerances on nova shells also mean that the 'conversion mounts' will most likely not fit without some work.

    when it is done, please post up some pics, to show us, and let us know how much it cost,
