I got my nova back from the garage today after my colision with a curb and it has had a new lower strut and ball joint, but the wheel seems to sit further in the arch than before although the camber is the same on either side. Can anyone help me?

I know what it is now and i am having it jigged and straightened. The front turriot has moved i can tell this as the seam sealer has cracked. I an also having the engine bay seam welded at the same time ready for a 2ltr, God help us all!!. The guy who has looked at it tonight recons it will cost about ?500 to do it all.

put a dodge viper engine in the front and move the dash and everything back so you can sit on the back seats to drive it

give it a go that will look good! you'll have to get 18's for it though although you can get a smaller front bumper. Might need to get a 2.0 turbo so you can put an intercooler in that hole though!!!! looks like you wouldn't need to mod it too much but don't take my word!
