A few of you might have seen my nova build from time to time. Well i have now bought a corsa sport shell off Scoob on here to fit a slightly detuned engine from my nova into.

Here are a few pics:
















Just ordered these:

Going to fit in a Custom Cages weld in 9 point cage and a bit of carbon as well. Outside is staying as a sport as i am going to track it, a lot!

So let me get this right, your taking the LET out of your red Nova and then de-tuning it and then putting it in your blue corsa?

Thats the plan. I use the word "de-tune" loosely as all i am doing is dropping from a GT3076 to a GT3071

Or break it, make a load of cash and build the engine into a corsa shell with no sunroof.
