Lot of welding there to be done to the chevy can you get many panels for these anymore think not, guess you got yourself a big sheet of steel and bench vice and good sharp tin snips! ;D As for the engine guess so long as there isn't a big step at the top of the cylinder bores you'll be ok, unleaded head?

Well I have been looking for inner wing repair panels since 2007 I had patch them up last year and wasn't happy at all about them it was bugging me a lot so I decide do it right and keep looking well after the long search I have found someone selling repair panels and the good news is they also stock A pillar panels and lower door skins looks like my chevette will be solid again and not patchy and my poor old dad as said I get the parts he will weld them for me and respray the car silver again looks like the Corsa is going to have to wait for new wheels And to give you all a picture of her now wings aren't fitted right as they need some welding to

Last week I insured and taxed the Chevette for 1 year the poor Corsa as not moved in a week I have so far done 600 miles in the Chevette and loved every bit of it Now all I need to do is sort the miss firing at low revs which started the other day and I'm good to go. If any one is wondering its faster then the Corsa alot faster which as me puzzled and the boot is big enough for a wheelchair.

Missfire at low revs could be something as simple as points gap??? mine was. ours are 0.016 rather than the 0.020 in the haynes. it does say in the back under changes.
