 There is a lot of tubular steel in that motor!

the nova?
aye the box-steel dont look too bad to work with tho & the main concept/design of mounting the rear engine seems fairly straight-forward. used a cav front end for the under-pinnings & just made a box-section to secure the engine in place... biggest prob as said by a few will be aligning it all & getting it square, but if you have the time & a jog or similiar, shouldnt be too much hastle.
been thinkin tho of modifying the cav front bit used on the rear of the nova to take the rear hubs from a 4x4 calibra or something, just makes it easier with fittin a non-hydraulic handbrake (so passes MOT)...

Oh, they used a front end, I was under the impression they somehow got it all to work with a 4x4 rear subframe... It looks pretty complicated!
