Sorry, I don't - if you hire one, try picking it up first thing in the morning and asking what time they close, as you may not be back in time - most cases they'll let you off if you are waiting to drop it off next morning - that way you get a full 24 hours - even better if you do a half day hire for the afternoon - you can get around 18 hours for a four hour hire - only hassle is you have to do an overnighter.

Don't exist. Changing fronts simple enough.. check my build thread or even better look up one from an old member username prozac. His build thread had step by step pics which I printed for my panelbeater when my chevini hatch was done. Hardest part will be findingthe donor panels and front cut.

Front cut haha mate I'm dreaming lol, it would like awesome thou as it fits in with the era of it all but that's just my dram atm could change thou I like the wags but we will see. Only reason I'm getting it is because it got minimal rust in the spots that tend to rust out and that piazza diff |

yep dreaming... front cut would possibly be not too bad... finding guards thats the real mish!
Embrace the chuv front mate! (buy my wag)
There are ways of grafting a later gem front on tastefully... you'd end up with an Ascona sort of look... anyway jealous as, the only way I ever want a sedan is if its a 2dr! (or if my Mrs relents and decides she wants a gemmi daily!)

Awesome news on rescuing that 2 door. I'm glad it's gone to a good home finally. Sounds like you have good plans for it too.

if tunnel and firewall need work may be a good chance to put something in it that requires a little extra space... looking forward to updates on this one, you have made several of us very jealous indeed! And glad the chevette front is growing on you, unless you have deep pockets a Chevini conversion will make this project a much longer build (locating parts hardest bit!)
If it aint broke dont fix etc etc : )
