Remanufactured Panels - B Series Coupe ROOF SKIN (non sunroof version)

[Irmscher Man]

More good news from the OMOC Panel reproduction project. We have managed to get the B Series Coupe Roof Skin into production.

We do not have a final date for delivery but it is likely to be in the Spring of 2023.

The next steps will be to take orders for these, for which we will need a 50% deposit up front in order to make this happen. (Note - if the order does not go ahead for whatever reason, this will be refunded in full).

When the panels are ready they will be shipped direct from the manufacturer.

These will be very high quality items and made from 20 gauge steel. Some of their other items can be seen here - https://www.steelpanels.co.uk/products/

That’s a great panel to have remade! Fortunately my coupe has a good roof on it.

Just bumping this thread as we need to try and get some numbers confirmed.

[Sutty2006]

I’m very surprised there’s not been much interest in this panel, people are always after them.

All in all, it's not a bad price.

Any thoughts on packaging, distribution. Overseas posting etc. 

I did comment previously on a poll of what exactly is needed for repair panels. Concerned that most cars that did need roof skins have been saved already. Let's face it, they probably won't need one either, if hasn't been needed already.

Still wouldn't put me off buying one for the parts department🤫 my stock. 

Great effort, and hopefully it will save alot of the later cars and get rid of those pesky glass aftermarkets. Where needed.

Fantastic news, great effort to all involved. I've put my name down, happy to pay deposit whenever 😃

I have registered my interest and put my name down too

I would definitely  have one

We are getting some decent response on the remanufacture of the Coupe roof skin, and Expressed panels are certainly going head with this project with us now. Within the next month or so, we will get some dates from them and we can start pestering everyone for a deposit. At the moment, we are looking at Spring 2023, so hopefully that will come off. The rear Panel is also in the production schedule, so will be going ahead at roughly the same time.

Hi Paul, any update on the roof panel?

[Irmscher Man]

We will be meeting with them this weekend, so will get an update on production dates. Last time we spoke, they were saying April, which is not that far away now. 

[87exclusive]

Any more news on when they will be available 

 

[Irmscher Man]

i am just waiting on news from the manufacturer. They are a little behind with delivery schedules so we are dependant on them at this stage.
I've dropped them a message today, so will update as soon as I hear back.

[mepbowles]

This is the kind of thing that the club is perfect for with it's resources and volume of interest. Top work!

[bris jas]

Any more updates on these, can they still be ordered if needed?

[Irmscher Man]

Going ahead and we have taken some deposits already, so thanks if you are one of those people that have put some money down.

Now we can talk £££'s with the manufacturers, they will put them into the production calendar. I dont know a date yet but things have now moved a step closer.

[gt4_ade]

also in need of one with supports please

[®evo03]

Are these bought through the shop? 

Is the shop setup as Ltd. 

[Jessopia74]

Be good too see these this year for sure

[srmrally]

The reply on the FB page was until they have 10 deposits then the production will not start. They currently have 2.

[87exclusive]

I'm surprised that  only 2 people have paid a deposit.  Maybe I should just buy the other 8 and sell them

[®evo03]

Not everyone owns at manta is in the club. I lucky bought one 15yrs ago ex Opel part, very cheaply. Would be worth buying but needs an additional support beam to convert a sunroof car to solid roof.

Not many project cars left, or cars worth restoring. They make be affecting people ordering.
