    Looking great, is it nearly at a stage where you can start putting it back together?

    Cheers it's getting there. Finishing off the suspension bits etc easier to do it with the cage out the car. Once that's done and cage welded into the car properly the floor will be next to go in

    Looking good Barry, all you really need are a few fibreglass/carbon panels to make it look like a Nova !

    Might be worth speaking to chip (if you know him)
    he used to run nova front legs on the back of his mid engined nova but suffered with horrendous bump steer issues, he swapped to mk4 astra hubs and that reduced it a great deal as the steering arm was a lot closer plane to the lower wishbone

    Nah I don't know him, it's just the hubs and strut I'm using off the front all the arms etc all be fabricated with rose joints to suit and hopefully will do the job nicely. Time will tell I suppose. Cheers.

    How are you connecting the steering arms to the car, if they are at a different arc to the lower arm then you will introduce unwanted bump steer,
    ive tried to find the link to his project but for some reason obsessive performance disorder forum seems to be down!
    Chip doesn't use Png but I'll point him this way for his input, as you might as well benefit from others mistakes and research!
