Bloody hell mate you was lucky !! From the last pics you couldn't see how my the roof had come down

i say reshell it ! But cage one up for safety

[millworm]

I'd say reshell seeing as that shell is mint but then again your call, would swap my escot but is probably in a worse state lol

[Southie]

:eek: that's horrific, thankfully you got out in one piece.

If the flair is tip top then your best swapping everything to that, I know it's breaking up a decent Nova but you'll be knowing it's done right, you could end up buying something else and doing more to get it to a decent standard, so start fresh imo;)

[Stuart]

Iirc you said the engine was running upside down.... That'll need pulling apart to check the bottom end bearings as they have a habit of spinning after going he wrong way up :(

[chris gsi]

I can't believe that you got out of the nova in one piece its amazing

if I was in your position I would build the flair in to the car you want as it just shows by the state of the green one the importance of a strong shell to start with also it's my favourite colour nova

[totalnova]

Start with the flair, it's a blank canvas and you can start again and use any salvageable parts off the green one.

[meritlover]

The Flair looks like a good source of parts to rebuild the green car

The time and effort it takes to find a proper track shell, you may as well sort the Flair...

if if it was an St, gte etc I would say preserve it, but it's only a Flair, so I say slap the let in that. No question, best colour too imo

[Benn]

God that flair is mint. Deffo leave that well alone.

[ASH GSI]

Put the let into the flair but keep it looking like a flair best of both worlds

I agree with this. Obviously paint it white though! Lol!

[Andy]

That bang to the head has changed you lol cant believe youre even considering not letting the flair lol
id grass it if i found one as good.

[BRoadGhost]

Buy a welder, build a spit, buy a proper weld in cage, stitch weld everything on the fair, weld the cage in & create a track focused LET road car.

[Pistol Pete]

Strip the flair m9 you know it makes sense. Great colour too.

[slimtater]

Do some subtle engine, suspension and brake upgrades on the Flair but otherwise leave it - great colour, condition and it would be a proper q car!

[jimbob-mcgrew]

im exhausted just reading that, sounds like far too much work. you must really like nova's.

youll have to buy all new bits wont you ?

the engine might be a bit chewed up, from running upside down.

the suspension will be wasted from the crash, i wouldnt trust re-fitting any of that, for safety reasons.

brakes might be un-useable

radiator and fmic looks bent / cracked. probably some damaged hoses.

wheels are probably bent, tyres damaged.

i dont think itll be a straight swap-over kinda job.
it'll be alot of work, time and money.

i dont mean to sound like an assh0le, just being realistic

[mrT]

reshell it into the flair, but dont put stupid wide wheels on it, decent tyres for uk weather and a cage is a must if its running big power, safety first! hope your well

[Mike]

Cut your losses & sell it all on IMO.

[Nobby]

its only a shitty old nova build the flair!
