Rusty boot floor and arch

[Batman]

Hi Ladies and Gents. I've just got my first Nova,as a bit of a project and it is in a bit of a state in a couple of places. Firstly the rear nearside arch is no more, and the boot floor has has compleaty rusted away along 3 sides and is just hanging on. Is it possible to buy compleat boot floors and weld it in, and also rear arch sections that can be just cut in . :!: I'm not too bothered about the cost as its just a winter project so any advise would be appreaciated. Thanks :lol:

You can get arch replacement panels.

I'd try to find a scrap'd nova with a decent boot and cut it out.

I had to fit new rear member and boot floor, my rear arch were rotten too. I have reworked the whole of the rear end. new floor with no wheel well and new inner arches for larger wheels.

I made a template of the boot floor and used a plasma cutter to cut it to shape and then welded it. Only cost me ?10 for the steel :)
