Can this be bent back?

[ive_had_a_novadose]

Can this be bent back to a similar shape so the car is driveable?

as when it was snowing i hit a kurb it's pushed the wheel right back to the arch so when i brake the arch rubs on the wheel also the car is pulling stupidly to the left lol :p

And yes i have a lower arm, ball joint and a strut if needs be that isnt bent

Anyone??? can anyone help me even if its a scrap it and buy a new panel i just want other peoples opinions on it

[leebo]

wouldnt be the easyest to get back, prob best to replace it again. if you get it back out its just going to be weak

my thoughts anyway lad

[ive_had_a_novadose]

cheers mate i thought it would be hard to smash back into place not too bothered about it bieng weaker i just need it so it's driveable at the very least

[Jon_nova1]

course it can mate, when i parked mine in a large object that front panel was touching the gearbox, i just made it so it weren't touching and "relocated" my radiator lol but its not advisable

get a sledge hammer ;) worked on my old nova, just hide it with a mk2 bumper lol

[Jon_nova1]

yes i did that too lol but i had to hold it on with wire because the mounts were so bent out of shape

[tom reid]

I could get that back to something near normal, give me a shout if you need some help, only down in Langley Mill.

[Riggy]

****ing bodgers the lot of you lol

get it replaced properly or just scrap the car

[london_chris]

u wouldnt have to make it near on the front as a bumper can cover it, or am i just seeing a different part of the car or something

[Riggy]

it would have pushed all of the tie bar back so you would get it straight without fitting a new pannel

[ive_had_a_novadose]

cheers for all the help novaloaders lol and i will give it a go on wednesday is it just a matter of getting the panel off (breaking the welds) and smashing the f**k out of it with ye old sledge hammer? also under inspection today the lower arm is bent slightly but i have one of these off my doner nova

[kingy-gsi]

replace it mate hard to do but yh or scrap it! u carnt really bodge a front pannel bk needs to be ruffly inline dude.

[Stuart]

kingy, type in english!

Just replace the damn pannel its not hard

[pickle]

same thing happened to me. i got it replaced. was good appart from a few minor problems in the wheel department ( a ball joint had broke among other things )

[loggyboy]

looking at the surface rust on the chassis legs you might was rip it apart and clean it all up at the same time
