What are the chances of me finding a new roof skin, and a pair of rear quarter panels without having to give my eyeballs and a kidney for them?

Starting to think ive bitten off more than i can chew and contemplating getting rid and buying one in need of less work....

How bad are the quarters and roof?

Repair sections for the arches are only £15 a side,

One sides had a repair panel very badly fitted, the other side has had a quarter but again, fitted really badly. The roof has had a crappy pop out sunroof in, and also is full of filler and dents everywhere.

Not good :(

If you have the cash you can get the parts, just the cost is the hard part,

Yeah i know. Plus the fact id really like to do all of the work myself, and id hate to chuck shed loads of cash into new panels and make a complete mess of it. So that would mean another massive bill to have them fitted too. Reckon il probs sell this one on and buy a more original one to start on.

Just look on egay.de I get all my nova stuff imported, granted postage can be expensive. But its a lot easier to source. Ive just bought a quarter panel and 2 rear inner arch sections for 160 all in. theres a roof on the bay at the min. Or just start again with a straighter shell.

I use either opel classic parts centre. Or ATP ,your best off jumping on ebay.de and looking through the corsa a bits .

Although everything ive ordered has arrived I'm in no way encouraging people to order from abroad. So dont flame me if someone gets ripped off .lol its my disclaimer
