SR's a mk1, so if the 1.2 shell's a mk2 then the 1.2 :)

TBH i'd try and fix the arch as it would be cheaper than byng a new shell.

Piss easy to make a new splash guard dude, do it and save yourself the money and hassle of reshelling. Unless it's gone on the chasis rails etc.

Too many Novas are scrapped for what are little jobs in the eyes of other owners (Ford for expample lol) You all say yourselves how few of them are seen on the roads... Don't let it die. FFS I remind myself of Meritlover.

found more crust on her today.

its in the turret type part where the strut goes, it looks OK on the outside but inside there's a bit of channel that's rotten

think a picture will be better lol
