a lot of people lately have been buying new slam pannels and fitting em


i think to avoid a bodged weld at some point im gonna have to as i have a bit of bubble rust on the two ends.

when you do replace the slam pannel how do u go about VIN plates?

i mean ok you can drill it off and re rivet it on the other - but how dodgy is that gonna look to suspecting buyers :?

can you get new ones stamped at vaux?

lol go to vaux if you want! they quoted me ?85 + 8 week wait to get one made! :lol:
I had a little trouble with the MOT because the VIN plate wasn't there but I got it passed without it after talking to vaux bacause the numbers are stamped under the drivers seat

hahaahaha, how much do you reckon your nova will weigh when its finished. I thought i was being excessive stripping the rear end out then i saw yours with no roof lining (you win). Do you reckon you can get it below 700kg
