Vaugh - did you get a FULL front panel including box section?
That looks like the skin only...
My front panel was very similar to yours (had rotted right through) but I needed to replace the box section thats behind the skin as that was corrupted also. I just bought the lower section though (dont need the lights due to my Punto lights going in)
Local garage did it for me in 3 days - took him 2 days to get the old one off!
Aye it has the crossmember where the radiator bolts on to etc - Angle of the pic, sorry about that :)
cool!
looking good vaughan..
shouldnt take much more than a weekend to fit the front panel..will only take a few hours welding..the bit that takes the time is getting the old one off..
cant wait to see the progress mate!
i also like new panels..i am going to buy some new wings i think.:thumb:
Cheers mate
Shouldn't be long for the welding - Few more weeks yet I think
Bought a Nova Predator spoiler a couple of days ago for ?60 - Brand new in primer. Cheers Matt2107 :)
Should look good on the Nova and something a wee bit different:

Picked up my new wheels tonight along with a front Anti Roll Bar
http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g1...aGSiWheels.jpg
Also picked up a Peco Backbox for free as well
Till the next time!
get the cav wheels on, they look sooooo much better than corsa wheels, theyre too curvy for my liking lol
get the exhaust on, anti-roll bar on and then get the front panel on, wing on, and axel on, then mot her, its alot to do for june, but youll do it, your super vaughan :thumb:
Corsa wheels are stayin! There a wee reminder of my uncles old Nova
Dunno about the exhaust, we'l see how annoying it is 1st lol
Everything else you said, top job!
Corsa wheels look awful on Novas, tbh they look awful on Corsa's
Your current wheels are MUCH nicer...
should of kept the cav wheels, they look so much better...
cav rims rock, the corsa rims will spoil it, look to much like you got them cheap so stuck them on to me
Nah trust me guys lol It will work!
Cheers for the comments about the old wheels, might keep them now
i would, they look miles better imo, and the red nut covers suit it
As you do when your a wee lad you draw cars sometimes, aye?
Well I drew Novas and the nut covers were body-colour
Had to do it with my real one lol
when i drew novas when i was like 6 it had big alloys a bright breen body and like a red bodykit..
just because i want a green/red nova with big alloys doesnt meen i have to do it lol
Sorry mate I didn't see you're thread on here, just the one on RMS!
The car is coming on nicely, lovely new panels!
I reckon the Corsa GSi rims could work, with 185/55's?
Aye me and my dad were speaking about tyres - 185/55/14 they will be :)
Hey mate, its looking good, not to sure on the wheels but hey it's your motor, thanks again for the rear bench mate, got the leather on it that night, will need to get picks upnow his nova has the full calibra leather in it
iain
No problem at all lol
You should have taken the back bit, get it out my road lol
Cheers for the comments about the car in person as well, made me happy!
cant wait to see your car for real
car looks great, keep up the good work, think the wheels will look good also think there my old wheels and exhaust lol.
Probably is mate lol Take it your one of Gregs mates?
