Can you weld yourself? might be a good time to get learning! Its all repairable even though its disheartening finding so much rot, its hard to know where to start! been there :)
I can do a bit. I work in a maching/ weld shop so I could prob get one of the welders to help me out. It is disheartening, everytime I remove a bit of trim something is rotten.
Picked up a few repair panels for it today so I now have most of the bits to get the body looking like new again.
Cant wait to see the finished item :)
Same here mate, when my bonnet turns up I'll trial fit it along with the wings, bumper and grille and get some pics up
Keep up the good work mate, dont let the rust get you down;)
David.
Get a whole back panel and fit it.. Dont patch it...
Thanks David :thumb:
Benn, Don't worry I have a brand new panel for it :)
looking good mate!
Cheers bud :)

Cheers southie, always good to see different options less than half the price of the race Technology one aswell. I already have an Astra digi dash not a big fan though so if someone wants it pm me.
There was a good review of the Acewell stuff last year in the Practical Performance Car mag. I had thought about getting one for my nova.
David.
Welcome to the joys of the mk2 Nova, but I am impressed, your putting the work in and going ahead. It may not feel like it just now but it will be worth it in the end (and a lot stronger than new too).Quote:
