Those repair panels look good Reg; where did you get them? :wink:

I hope he fit and tacked the door repairs up with the door attached to the car...

Thanks for all the nice comments..

Chris - yep,its the one from the TDCIR..

Malc - the n/s wing has been replaced with a nos patent that cost me £20!! Welder Gary said that it wasnt a bad fit either..

Alun - sorry,i forgot to mention to you all that i used club panels where possible..and its been reported back that they are very good quality..but we all knew that already! :wink: ..oh..yes,they were tacked on while the doors were on..

wow! the front end repairs look like the kind of thing mine will be experiencing in the new year - I always find it helps to see other peoples so I can visualise how everything fits together in terms of panels etc.

Brown rusts, or at least mine does - it's surely a myth.

Well done mate. Proper job.

Very nice indeed. When you out and about in it and getting all those admiring glances you will realise the car has repaid you. :)

I was down visiting Gary today as well. Reg's car looks like an enormous bar of chocolate at the moment. I felt quite hungry. :D

Excellent Reg. :thumbsup:

I think it would be a great effort to get it ready for any shows this year. Don't give yourself any deadlines, just take your time & do it right. :D
