has anybody done or thought of doing...

Nova 3 door saloon arches onto a hatchy nova? "i mean complete arches" not just adding to.

Front wings are easy peasy but, can you get complete rear quarter panels for the mk1 three door saloon still?

Views and opinions welcomed. . .

But your thumb over some of the kool three door saloons **** end, and it looks pretty kool...

I've been thinking this for ages. I reckon it would look good.

I've got a GM rear 1/4 and 3/4 for a 2dr saloon in my shed, couldn't get two 1/4s as there aren't any left, but not sure about the 3/4s (or could be the other way round, can't remember now).

You should be able to get pattern rear quarters, or just a repair arch panel.

I asked/suggest this a while ago, kinda like a mk1 Golf really.

[Rexy]

yeah thats the idea i was thinking more of a mk1, and i lurve mk1's

I think it could and would work to be honest. Jack if you decide you want to sell the panel's let me know. I think im going to try it, If i can find a 3 door loon at the scrappers i might just steal both sides.

It would have to be a pretty much full panel upto and below the windows as the rear windows differ.

i think jack needs to fire up photoshop

[Rexy]

wrong way around lol.

[jord4n]

so you want to put hatch arches on a loon.

[Rexy]

loon arches on a hatch. The pic is of a 4 door with Hatch arches (bens pic)

[hc coupe]

No !! IMO that is.Get some euro deep dish alloys and push them right out the sides and drop it low. dont start hacking a saloon up.

wide,low,and euro is my idea

[Panman]

Someone photoshop. Got to see this.

[Rexy]

just get a saloon side on, Stick your thumb over the back end and whala. It looks like that lol.

I've gone the other way with mine hatch front arches on the back of my loon. Box arches are the best thing about novas in my opinion. I know this doesn't answer the original question

[Rexy]

They are gra, But for the look and lowness i want there proveing to be a complete **** to work with. I can go a lot lower and sit the wheels nicley in the arches. It also give me more scope on wheels as i would be able to use wider wheels instead of having to stick with 6.5j jobbies.

Even with a flared arch, my softys still caught granted i could of gone for more of a flare which i will be doing and going from there.

sorry to hi jack the thread - have you got any pics? the only other saloon with hatch arches was a blue one iirc and the arches were at different levels - did you put hatch quarters on?:cool:

Not the best pic, did have a better one but hdd died.

[jimbob-mcgrew]

nah he wants saloon & 5-door style round arches on a 3-door right ?
i cant use photoshop to save my life, but im prety sure itll look fairly similar to a mk.1 astra when its done, which do look nice as u can see:

[rednova]

i think benn meant my comment - thats the light blue one - the arches are different heights and dont look right compared to a hatch's arches which are level, if you understand

[Graeme]

Yeah I think mine is the same as that using front hatch arches on the rear, resulting in a shallow rear arch - I originally was in contact with a lad called Gilly from the north east who had done this nearly fifteen years ago now and was my inspiration, the car still isn't in paint and I know there is a lot of different opinions on this, the only plus I have found of doing it this way is it makes the rear look low like a hatch without changing the full quarter panel
