    U need to think is it worth spending money getting it fixed or is it cheaper to buy a cleaner one.

    You can virtually re-panel a whole nova for about 250 notes. cut out all the raer arch and buy a new rear quarter, new door and weld a plate over battery tray. waxoil EVERYTHING underneath and on inner wings, red oxide the welds then primer/spray them. take a while but if you have about ?300 its easily attcheivable......

    Do you think the rest of the car is worth the work/money? engine condition?
    Your choice mate.....

    Personally I'd cut my loses and get rid of it, you'd be much better off spending what it would cost to repair that on a Nova in better condition, take what bits you want/need from your current one and look for another project - plenty of old people selling Nova's in reasonable/good condition if you look hard enough.
