why didn't you just buy a different shell and transplant? 4 new corners and 1200 quid seems like a waste of money to me. But if you make a decent job of it i suppose it may be worth it.

the workmanship is excellent!! the bloke who done it used to work for vaux back when nova's were new!! he now runs his own garage that specialise in vaux's!! and its at the bottom of my street!! :)
