TheRealExile Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) I'm sure I bought mine from Retropower, give them a try. TJMotorsport have them from memory too. Edited August 2, 2020 by TheRealExile Add 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealExile Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'm sure someone on here might be able to find you one or there are some suppliers in Germany that others have mentioned in the past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julian Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 https://www.carbodypanels4u.co.uk/checkout/cart/ I just found this one. Are they known to the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessopia74 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 That is nearly the same for 1 panel mate as they charge £12 delivery. See if I can find an eBay discount code for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, Alright There is no need to rub it in Ian, I;m only doing this to prove to you youngsters that even at 86 years of age WE ARE NOT OVER THE HILL!!!!! one of my sons ( he's one of twins) who is a mechanic and MOT inspector, told me a few months nago that if I went back in the trade today, I'd be only good enough to drive a car into or out of a garage, cheeky b*****!! He is wrong though, because I wouldn't be able to do that, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO START ONE OF THESE MODERN THING!!

IanMc Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Sorry Julian, I wasn't trying to rub anything in - just interested that you were after a repair panel. How bad is the rust? Would it be possible to just graft in some smaller pieces instead? Take care mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think it's worth cutting it out as it is really bad, and I can't handle a welding torch like you do, never was a good welder of thin body metal, heavy stuff? Yes, chassis and stuff on big wagons. Hwyl Fawr. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
