Vauxhall Nova 2.0 16v Turbo Rolling Shell (R1CHs Ex-total Vaux 160mph Feature Car)

£1250

Fantastic quality shell and is without doubt one of the best out there. Perfect for someone wanting a good starting point for high powered LET or XE. This shell has been built to last and more importantly to cope with the additional torque of big block engines. There is no rust anywhere on the car with all usual places completely solid. Any questions please ask. Viewing can be arranged if required.

interested, any current pic's? preferably the engine bay showing where the crossmember has been cut, the gearbox mount, was the engine plug and play, or were the cars wires cut and spliced, are the master cylinder and brake lines still there? what brakes were on the rear beam (drums or was it converted to disk?) what front hubs was it using and whats fitted now? where abouts in west yorkshire are you?

Hi Rob,

It won't let me PM you but in brief:

Some of the pics shown are in the last few months and the car is currently in dry storage under a cover. It hasnt seen UK roads for 2 years + and is in what id describe as close to mint. The engine is plug and play yes the wires have crimped connections and the engine could be wired in in 30 mins. The servo and master cyclinder are included (powder coated) although brake lines were removed (internal). THere is a brand new powder coated rear beam on the car with standard rebuilt drums. Included with car are painted front hub knuckles and 2.0 big block conversion hub flanges pressed in ready to go. Only thing the car lacks is front suspension to get it rolling (can sort that though). On rear is fixed damping spax (60mm) kit. Cross memeber which was part of a full new front panel that was put on was properly cut plated and recessed to suit a frontera cooler. This allows fitment of a standard GSI bumper with some fine cutting. Fuel tank is all plumed in so all you need to get it back to turbo spec is engine + exhaust , f28, brake lines, front brakes, front suspension, seats and wheels. All suspension components are powder coated polybushed and re-inforced (plated up) with new ball joints and rod ends. I would say its the perfect place to start for a show, track or road car. Please send me your email ill forward some pictures.

Thanks
