Hollywood Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 (edited) Hi Guys, Just joined up, terrific site! Great to see all the projects that are being done. Just wondering can anyone help me, looking for a replacement panel or the best way to repair the areas circled below?

Kevin Abbott Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 That panel is ( was ) only available as a genuine one and I very much doubt you will find one. I know they exist as I have one, the only way to repair is in box section or make the profile by bending plate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stradacab Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I think he's after the cross brace. Very rare they rot in less it's the very ends near the sill that can usually be repaired with some carefully bent steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Posted September 29, 2015 Author Share Posted September 29, 2015 That's exactly where mine are gone, right at the ends. I'll get it sorted some way :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 @Sven Hinka - Doesn't look like the part but i could probably chop it up and weld in the little end pieces on my own shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Hmmm i recognize that picture As James says its normally the ends that rust near the sills and just bend some sheet steel to make a replacement for how ever much you need to chop out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that your picture that I found on google images? :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantasrme Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Yeah its a coupe i welded up a few years back in my workshop. Don't think i had to repair that bit of the chassis rails on that one, just the main rails running forwards and swan necks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
