Rear Panels of ebay are only £40 and about £15 postage. if his nova's are hatchback Saloon body parts wont fit.

They will but wont match up as saloons/five door novas have rounded arches whereas three door ones have squared ones.

But bolt for bolt they will fit on:thumb:

Nope just the same tis only the actual shape of the arch that differs:thumb:

i always thought if the hatchback rear lights fit the saloon then loads of other parts do.
