I would say,
Bonnet, Front upper,Front lower, Light, indictor, Wing, Wing, bumper,grill,rad needs replacing if you want it looking nice, 2 wings havent been damaged but have rusted over the years.

Would have to bend the font top beem to fit a rad in but with a rad in its drive-able, ill upload more pictures, they are on my other computer so will do it tomorrow

MOT & Tax till October

Ok cheers. A photo without the headlights at each side would be useful if poss, or at least on the offside. Many thanks

After spending yesterday and this morning and afternoon working on it ive decided to keep it, thankfully ive been able to get most of it back into shape with a bit of panel beating. I know search for parts to get it back on the road.

PM'ed, as I was taking the nova apart someone came over to me and offered me a white bonnet which was a stroke of luck
