    I'd say reshell seeing as that shell is mint but then again your call, would swap my escot but is probably in a worse state

    that's horrific, thankfully you got out in one piece.

    If the flair is tip top then your best swapping everything to that, I know it's breaking up a decent Nova but you'll be knowing it's done right, you could end up buying something else and doing more to get it to a decent standard, so start fresh imo

    Iirc you said the engine was running upside down.... That'll need pulling apart to check the bottom end bearings as they have a habit of spinning after going he wrong way up

    I can't believe that you got out of the nova in one piece its amazing

    if I was in your position I would build the flair in to the car you want as it just shows by the state of the green one the importance of a strong shell to start with also it's my favourite colour nova

    Start with the flair, it's a blank canvas and you can start again and use any salvageable parts off the green one.

    The Flair looks like a good source of parts to rebuild the green car

    The time and effort it takes to find a proper track shell, you may as well sort the Flair...

    if if it was an St, gte etc I would say preserve it, but it's only a Flair, so I say slap the let in that. No question, best colour too imo
