Heres a gud one whos nova has never had welding for a mot and whos has and were? I dnt mean welding for strengthing kits.
My sr needed a lot of welding so just scraped it.
Bits that needed welding:
New front panel (both corners collasped)
boot (both corners)
engine bay (behind the strut had big crack)
underneath (were spring went into the shell)
inside (were u tighten the damper in the boot)
rear arches (needed two new arches)

5door - no welding anywhere ever
3door - welding in both corners of the boot floor
no welding done.
infact, apart from the gearbox i broke (dropping a bolt in it) my cars never had a part replaced (except for a rocker cover gasket, spark plugs, leads, oil, and cam belt)

oh i was just talking about welding needed a new drivers door and 2 new wings (all had holes in thm).
Engine was pissing out oil the clutch was on its way.
the interior was covered in hot rocks.
Patches have been added in one or 2 places when building them but that was before they hit the road. but as for mot's etc no welding has ever been needed as the cars have been sorted before hand

rear arches, boot floor, inner rear and front arches, under front drivers seat, below pedals, chassis legs where front track control arms meet he chassis,
all were not that bad (apart from the boot floor) but i did them anyway as it was in the bodyshop waiting for a respray. i still concider mine as being a good shell too. ive had much much worse novas tho
My 5 door never needed any welding or bits replacing for its MOT. Went straight in without any work (after being stood for a year or so) needing and passed :)
The silk violet one has needed a patch here and there (there was a hole on the underneath of the sill, and the spring mount had started to rust, so we strengthened that).
T'other one? well..lol..dont get me started..it hasn't been finished yet..it's been a big job lol..
new rear arches
new sills
back chassis legs (WHOLE repair, including spring mounts and towing eye etc)
inner rear arches
rear valance
boot floor
couple bits in engine bay
passenger side wing
front inner arch
that's as far as I can remember :?

my old 1.2 failed one both rear sills, front inner wing
my new ones had battery tray and boot. but now theres nothing left to do
its had new sills etc before
Black turbo, never had any welding for the MOT, only welding has been the strenghtening.
Yellow SR, don't know where to start, the more I look at it the more patches I find.

Yeah, theres a wing on the car already that is from Sel..I haven't got round to getting a new one, as is only a patch at the bottom that could be fixed easily..
my car hasn't had any welding but it will do in the near future lol,
just put 2 new wings on my car and they fit perfect

Is it a wing like that one ^ ? I hear they're the best ones to get.
surprised you missed that lol:lol:
What do you mean you're suprised I missed that? :?
The drivers wing is from Sel, looks like an original, fits very well.
The passenger one is the old one that needs either a new one or fixing..
