New Front panel

[lightweight racer]

Hi guys

Can anyone tell me if they've had a new front panel welded into thier nova and the price?
Mines a little rusty and could do with a new one!

I've got Ashford Coachworks round the corner but wanted to know what people on here have paid before i get stung!

Cheers

I had a front pannel put on mine in 2001. But i had the whole car resprayed at the time too.

Pannel cost ?220, original GM (pattern parts suck) and i'd say ?150-200 would be a fair price to have one fitted & sprayed.

no point in payin GM prices when you cant see the the panel tho, get the panel from http://www.bodyshopwarehouse.co.uk/topnav.asp

Gm parts will fit alot better. its not what it looks like its how well it fits.

Are the GM front panels stil avaliable?

It will need doing- its the only part of the car thats rusted at all! Under the headlights has rusted and the brace infront of the rad has snapped (from my little parking shunt :oops: )
Can't weld myself and don't know any1 well enuf that can weld. Does the car need to be connected to a jig while its done?
