lower front panel

[v24sam]

my car is currently in a local garage gettin a xe conversion and ive asked for the lower front panel off another nova i have to be taken off and put on mine as its much better condition but one of the guys at the garage said its beem seem welded so wont come off. is it possible to cut it off and re use it on another nova?

[gazz]

would it not be just as easy to buy another one mate

[v24sam]

yeh maybe jus would rather save money and the one i wana take off is mitn condition thats all

[burgo]

just buy a new one, they cost ?45 for any panel supplies which is alot cheaper than the labour to try and take one off another nova

[v24sam]

ok where from?

[burgo]

the garage will know the local panel suppliers

[v24sam]

We've just replaced the whole front panel / crossmemeber on a mates Nova, it cost about ?90 from Sel-Imperial (i think), bit of a ball ache, just takes a bit of time drilling out the origional spotwelds then getting it all lined up again, could imagine it be a nightmare removing one from one Nova to put it in another especially if ones been seem welded tho.
?300 doesn't seem bad if thats for the whole front panel / crossmember including fitting and painting.
