Got a white jreg nova sri here and the damage can be described as this :-
Holes in o/s/f inner wing. Corrosion to n/s/f. inner wing. And slam panel. One-inch corrosion to n/s/f outer wing, also small amount to both doors. Also the n/s wheel bearing is noisy!
Anyones opinions on how much work/money is needed to fix this up considering im not anygood and fixing stuff myself! :oops:

wings easy to replace (just make sure you use mastic not silicone sealer to reseal them. prob set 2nd hand wings for ?40 for the pair max.

Slam panel - depending on how secure it is prob fix with deruster and fibreglass - thats wot I did. New slam panel will cost ya about ?30 (speak to DEES NOVA ref this) and you'll need to get it welded in place.

Doors - if small rust see if it can be treated and filled from inside the door compartment - jyust dont block the water drainage holes

Rear bearing easy to change - new one will set you back about ?10 tops from motor factors or ?16 from vauxhall.

To respray (diy and buying all materials) wil prob set you back about ?100 ish...plus yer time.

OR you could give to a bodfy shop and say - fix this n this n this and they'll prob charge you about ?300 for wings, doors and fixing bits n bobs. Shop about though.

Rear bearing will prb set you back ?40 to fit at a garage

I'd say total max cost no more than ?400 or ?150-?200 tops DIY
