looks really good mate well done

[RacingGreen]

will it have to be inspected? considering ur using parts from 2 differnt shells? or is it an easy thing to get sorted? what will it be classed as? nova? or sierra?

as far as im aware insurance are only bothered if it has an mot or notso hopefully not will be still classed as a nova but with 2lt on the log book as it was when i had a 2lt in the front b4 i stripped it

Looks like an interesting build.

If i were you i would check the requirements for the IVA before you go much further though. I believe they still work on the points system? By the looks of it, you're not keeping any of the original engine, drivetrain, steering or suspension. These parts along with the body are what they base the identity of the car on.

looks so crazy! it may just work!! lol

i would of opted for smaller wheels to keep it more subtle.... but thats just me!

what will happen to the bit sticking out the front!?

Very interesting indeed, keep up the good work and i will be keeping an eye on this one, as it might help me out on some aspects. Although saying that youve got abit more space to start with, what with it being a nova.

I dont suppose you knwo if some 13" compomotive CXRs fit over the calipers do you, i know its a long shot, but it hought i would ask anyhow.

As regards the classification of the car, just class it as a nova and be done with it. i mean the DVLA arent that clued up about nova floorpans are they.

As long as it passes an MOT (presuming road legal of course) then you have nothing to worry about.
