pain in the **** when scrapyards do that, erm id say they could be removed as long as roof is not bent or out

pics or it didn't happen lol

If it isn't so bad I don't see why it can't be repaired, as said tap it out with a block etc on the other side, get a friendly panel beater to do it ftw

Time and cost though. Its the blue 4dr saloon in the scrapyard thread in the regional forum.

Whats the underside like dave? Its been sat in watery mud which won't have done it much good. TBH for the price of getting and repairing it to a decent standard you may as well just buy one thats already a runner; 4drs are usually the cheapest novas to buy.

As long as the roof itself isnt damaged (which ic unlikely I'm afraid) you coul;d straighten it with a hammer and vice grips. Get it fairly straight and rplaice the seam sealer which will hide most of the imperfections and use a dollop of filler on the underside to hide it from there.

Why cut the front of a nova though? Why not just get a better shell?

I would corner slower as i wouldnt mind falling in lol.

Also hope it isnt heated by the beetles engine as it would be freezing in there.
