    Sorry to resurrect this awesome guide but does anyone know if the MKI and MKII front slam panel/cross member is the same part?? And also where can I source one? Going to be doing this in the next couple weeks with engine out as the bay needs a good clean-up also.

    Thanks, Greg

    Genuine panels are slightly different but I doubt you will find one of them so it'll be a pattern part which are all the same

    The tolerances on novas were huge anyway so you will do well to muck it up

    I know this is off topic, but was that grill made? If so, was it difficult, i love it.

    If you go for patern Pannel just tack it In a few places and build it up again as if you look a lot of posts are complaints that things don't line up correct easy to move a few tacs or self tappers than a welded panel

    125 is a good price also try euro parts they can still get them
