AS YOU CAN SEE THE IMPACT WENT BACK DOWN THE SUMP GUARD BENDING THE MOUNT BRACKETS

JUST BEHIND THE BOTTOM ARM MOUNTING POINT IS ALL SO BENT

Errrm, could try getting it straightened out (mainly the damage at the TCA mounting point), new crossmember and front panel. Wing will hammer back into shape, probably new shaft if its impacted the chassis leg with force.

Or reshell may be the easier option...depending on availability and price :thumb:

new front panel as a guess. or a good one from a scrapper. the shaft & bottom arm will go back to their correct place.

i hit a rock on a road rally once, impacted the tie bar at the front, the drive shaft was in the same possition as yours :( the inner wing was bent so the easy thing to do was re-shell.

this was a few years ago when it was easy to get hold of a good donor car.

Reshell

What the availability of Nova of there?

Nothing is beyond repair, just depends on how much work you want to do..

[phunkynova]

I don't really wants to reshell as the shell bar the damage is good and solid and has had a lot of work do to it, Plus to keep it right hand drive I'd have to come to UK to pick up a shell.
Here in the Czech Corsa A's are pretty rare to get a left hand drive shell I'd have to go to Germany.
I would like to keep it right hand drive as it make's it different out here and attracts a lot of attention.

I'd start getting the nova stripped down, wings off and engine out then assess the structural damage from there.
You'll obviously need a front section but they can still be bought, just depends though what other damage has been done, may have bent the floor with the crash you've had so as said get stripping and show us your stuff- that sounded soooo wrong lol

Chin up, anything is fixable with time and money. ;)

[MK999]

I would say you at least need a good shell to donate it's front half, and depending how many, what kind of modifications, and what equipment you have to cut and shut a car so it's straight, a reshell may be the easier option.

i wouldn't fix that not because it cant be done i just think it would not drive straight.
