bet you could drill all the spot welds, buy new full rear quarters and turn that into a 3dr?

[burgo]

take more than rear quarters to convert it to a 3 door lol

[Adam]

Ye, the B and C pillars inside and out looks different to three door.

[jamie gsi16v]

im sure it could be done? if the floor pans the same nearly every otha pannels replaceable?

[burgo]

yes but its getting those panels. its really not worth it

[mikey14sr]

would be ok if you need to replace some of the more obscure panels on a three-door, chassis legs and such.

[Riggy]

:eek: its still ****ing mint though , would be ace to rebuild a car like phils old 5 door into it lol


i wonder if there are still any 3 doors shells left in the world then , hiding in someones barn like this has

[Mike.]

this type of things happened before, a few months ago there were 2 mk2 cavalier shells up for sale, one a saloon and the other an estate, they had both been in dry storage.

[jbowman]

I would keep it as a 5 door, wouldnt be worth the hastle of converting such a mint shell.

[novamadman]

look at very last pic of under rear arch and look at the back panel

to be honest i would say that a mint nova today with low miles e.t.c is cleaner

[burgo]

exactly the shell is far from mint, theres rust all over it and with the amount made i would bet on there being 3 door shells hidden away in barns somewhere

finding them is a different story, if only

[Paul]

i reckob]n it has been spanked before in its life. Nova wheel arches were never body coloured...

[novamadman]

its more than likely been primed to protect it tho

that shell has never seen rust! if you look close enough its only surface rust. beggers cant be choosers, when was the last time you seen a brand new shell up for sale.

i know we are jsut saying, fair enough it may be surface rust on most places but are you saying that bit on the back panel is surface rust??!!

a mint low mileage nova today that has been wax oiled or whatever and properly looked after imo is a lot cleaner than that even if it was a 3 door

i would love one though lol
