Hi Lloyd
How are things going with the wings now ? Fingers crossed the sills are still going to be ready soon as the manufacturers have promised.

Posts about panels have gone a bit quiet of late !

Forgive me for asking but I haven't looked under my car for a while. Can you get in to weld the bowl if it's a complete OE panel ? It would be difficult if only fitting a repair size wheelarch panel plus on an otherwise tidy car would mean doing paintwork in the engine compartment. As you have had 3...

I did have a parts book but lent it to someone and never saw it again ! It was a pretty grotty one though. Ebay time I think !

Mines probably the same stuff but dark brown.

One day when I have fixed the wings I will get to drive it again !

That look really nice.
When I got mine it had suffered a lot through lack of use, it's probably as bad again now !

What interior has it got, having done such low miles I bet it's pretty nice.
