How much would it cost to build a brand new nova?

[Rob-16v]

Could it be done?
I know you can buy new shells etc, so do you think it can be done? Register it as a 2005 model....... a 2005 nova.. doesnt sound right ::

Where can you buy new nova shells from? i got told you cant buy them any more.

thats funny, I've been sending them two e-mails a week asking for a straight nova shell(used), you'd have thought they'd have mentioned that they can get new ones after a year of pestering?

I'd make sure you get the tracking done before you go driving in that again, gonna cost a bit in tyres

I seen this done once (in theory) with a morris 1,000 using all parts bought off the shelf, it cost thousands!! way beyond the price when new, you could have got a rolls-royce for the price ::

I bought what is supposedly the last brand new nova bodyshell in october 1998 from a place in northern ireland called fintona autospares. It is the same place that andy windsor (citrine yellow Q plate turbo) bought his shell from two years earlier. In 1993 when vauxhall stopped production on the nova fintona autospares bought the last 50 shells.

This is True, Fintona had the last 50 shells, and they told me they sold the last one around 1998. What have you done with that shell? any pictures?
