Nova to AE92 Front End Conversion?
|

Whats needed in the conversion? I have a LE Nova and can't find any good front panels for it so I might just get the corolla front end. I just have damaged front right fender and indicator assembly.
P.S I have a wanted add up too if anyone has any of these parts.
Cheers
Ryan

go to a wrecker and buy a front cut .... all you need is the lower crossmember and mounts and then just bolt everything else up ... you might want to sorse a set of rear disc brakes for it . you dont even need to change the panels leave is a non suspecting nova people will shit when you chop them in a nova

I think you misread my post. I only want to change the front Panels and head lights to the Corolla as no wreckers have the panels I need for my Nova but plenty of Corolla panels are available.

Left + Right fenders, headlights, blinkers, grille, bonnet is whats needed to convert the front
the nova front is off the fx-gt corollas, there would be plenty in nz

dude. panels arent even that expensive from toyota. i recently purchased 2 quarter panels from toyota for about 110 each - genuine toyota parts. and thats for a late 91 series 2 ae92. considering wreckers wanted like at least 50 i would say for the hassle i have saved it was worth the extra 60 - plus when u get them sprayed they wont need to be sanded and panel beaten.
hope that helps - Leigh

ouch, heh its cool mate
i dont see why its costing more for the paint colour as its the factory colour. Well thats when i had it resprayed he just mixed the code in the engine bay.
Need pics to see the extent of the damage, but atm doesnt sound ilke 2200 worth...cost me 2700 to get the whole car sprayed, brand new bonnet, roof was wrinkled from previous owner garage door come down on it so i had it straightened and i hit the rear door which was dinged in a fair bit and had that mended.

What's your car gonna be called after you convert it?
A Novrolla?
A Corolva??
Sorry I've been watching too many drift videos...
But seriously even if Nova parts are more expensive your only after one quarter panel and an indicator assembly, I still think it'll work out cheaper than buying a whole Corolla front end.
One quarter panel and indicator assembly VERSUS Left + Right fenders, headlights, blinkers, grille, bonnet.
Your alot better off sticking with the Nova.
