Second that, lot of knowledge out there now especially on the fabricating side of things and generally made me more of a perfectionist than I used to be haha
Like others, I'm glad to see this is moving forward. Look forward to more updates. Do you have a link to the Fiesta build anywhere? Cheers!

One day I'll start a build thread. One day...
This is epic. Me and a mate have discussed and without it sounding wrong, I've fantasised many times how i would love to build a space framed car. For me ideally a nova. I'd no idea one was in the making. I've not had a look around this forum in years.

WIDE ARCH XE NOVA BUILD

Just as a caveat, I have no idea if I’m doing it right! Lol I’m just sticking to the principle of triangulate and getting a professional welder to do most of the finished welding. I have no idea how this would be in a crash?? Can you be to stiff? Needs an engineers oversight/opinion really to be honest. I highly doubt this car ever sees the road!
Woooooo it’s still alive
told you saloons are the future!!!!!!!
Looks great either way. A crash would be sore. No crumble zone points. Surely if built to a good standard "road legal compliant" you could go down the kit car route and have it registered and tested.

Where are the crumple zones on a normal nova? Once you hit the chassis legs its all solid?!? Thinking about kit cars, they’re normally just all box section?? Should I be using some thinner walled tube/box on front & rear so it twists/bends easier?? i dunno!
Don't be so negative!! Haha build it to work!! A crash should be the last thing on your mind!! Haha
Although, as I was cruising to the barrier at Cadwell I did think "hmmmmm maybe I did need that collapsible column, instead of the body stabbing bit of bar that we used"
