I've stripped my Nova out and i've noticed that some of the seams seem to be stretching as if they're coming apart. A mate had a Nova years ago that spread at the front so badly that the drives fell out eventually. I'm worried, cuz my car is driven and driven hard too. Any ideas what to do?

get it jigged to bring it all back into line then get a plating kit and weld her up nice and tight!

Yeah and maybe layer it up with some more sheet metal

which seams are "spread"

the ones on the chassis leg arent touching as normal - theres usually a 1-3mm gap between the inner wing and the chassis box section

I think you would be better makin your own strenghting kit you could then decide your self how ridged you want it
