Is a tailgate from a 5 door Nova the same as those on a 3 door?

Yep, they are all the same on hatchbacks. Well other than having the wiper/spoiler on higher spec cars.

Nice. I wondered if the angle was different on a 5 door. Its probably the nasty extra door & window lines that throw the eye off.

That should make it easier to find a rot free tailgate.

Thanks. I think I just want to know on the off chance as I fancy having an optional early mk1 tailgate with no spoiler or grab handle etc & maybe one with a wrap around spoiler.

I cant decide whick look I prefer so might aswell have them all hanging in the garage. LOL

Is it a mk1 early job with no grab handle & just a lock barrel in centre? In which case YES PLEASE! :thumb:
