1970 L-78 Nova Restoration; Saga of The Green Bastard

[L78_Nova]

Mid-winter trip to a Fargo wrecker with fingers crossed to retrieve a replacement inner rear door panel. I knew there was Novas there, I didn't know if they would be good. As it turned out we found a good candidate and a cut out a good size chunk of the forward rear quarter along with the rocker.

When I began cutting this thing apart at home I could not believe how solid it was. I could have actually harvested the rocker repair piece from this. This car has been sitting in the yard forever. I was shocked at the condition.











This last photo, though not finish welded, represents an enormous amount of work towards the repair of the car.
