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

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

[Reg]

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! ..oh..yes,they were tacked on while the doors were on..

Hello mate,
I had better get my old pi booked in with Gary,looking at those pics,he`ll be busy welding a load more dollys and wont have time for my old bus!
I`m looking forward to going down to triumph world,try out their nice pasties too

[melj]

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.

Blinding stuff Reg and full marks to you.

And to think this was the car that dragged me off the A322 this september after I threw a conrod!

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.

New rear arches and club door panels..






It should be ready for me to pick up in a couple of weeks..it's gonna be a close call to get to any shows this year!..but i'll give it a go..

[DavePoth]

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.

[triple tango]

hmmmm, chocolate...

[Mad Mart]

Excellent Reg.

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.
