Hi,
Having never owned a mk2 nova I was wandering if the shell is the same as the mk1's? wasnt sure if the slam panel was maybe different.
Cheers
Ian
There's loads of differences on the mk2 shell, i can't remember them all, i'm sure rich can help though!

mm shame, one for sale up beside me. I'v sent you an email John.
There's nothing that poses a real issue when its stripped down to a bare shell tho is there, just the odd bracket and hole...?

B & C pillars are different internally(Seatbelt mounts and trim mounting)
Wings, but they are just bolt on
Rear seat pan may have a hole for an in tank fuel pump
Rear quarters have rear bumper mounting holes in a different position
Front panel is slightly different

Ideally you need an 84/85 brown shell to chop bits out of ;)

mm bet there not easy found!
There is a place local too me that restores vintage cars, they do coach work, ash frames and that kinda stuff, I'm going to give them a call and see if 1985 sport comes under a vintage motor to them!

Novasport just seen your page on here. That shell looks amazing, did you have to repair lots of panels on it first??

Then no, it was a brand new bodyshell that had been in storage. I have since sold it to Edd who is now building it into the Sport but with a 1.3 turbo.
