    Put the let into the flair but keep it looking like a flair best of both worlds

    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
    I agree with this. Obviously paint it white though! Lol!

    Buy a welder, build a spit, buy a proper weld in cage, stitch weld everything on the fair, weld the cage in & create a track focused LET road car.

    Do some subtle engine, suspension and brake upgrades on the Flair but otherwise leave it - great colour, condition and it would be a proper q car!

    im exhausted just reading that, sounds like far too much work. you must really like nova's.

    youll have to buy all new bits wont you ?

    the engine might be a bit chewed up, from running upside down.

    the suspension will be wasted from the crash, i wouldnt trust re-fitting any of that, for safety reasons.

    brakes might be un-useable

    radiator and fmic looks bent / cracked. probably some damaged hoses.

    wheels are probably bent, tyres damaged.

    i dont think itll be a straight swap-over kinda job.
    it'll be alot of work, time and money.

    i dont mean to sound like an assh0le, just being realistic

    reshell it into the flair, but dont put stupid wide wheels on it, decent tyres for uk weather and a cage is a must if its running big power, safety first! hope your well
