For when I got most of Crystal Corsa done to how I like. Gonna be starting work end of the year... It's gonna have a C20XE, stripped out, painted inside and out, have a full on roll cage and be completely the opposite of what my current car is . I'm gonna be building it myself too. But what shell to use, Mini Corsa B or a Nova? Suggestions please, cos it's possible to put the engine in any of those cars...

I so wanted to do that at one stage and forgot about it, you just reminded me! Does anyone know if this is actually possible in a Mini, cos I remember that old Noble cars came with a 1400cc bike engine in the boot...

Anyone know anything about rear engine conversions as well, in a Corsa or Nova, cos you'd need a fair ammount of space!?
