).Basically, the scuttle panel outer skin is badly rotten although the rest of this area is very sound. I feel that to insert 6/7 patches and introduce a full new front lip (vertical piece in bonnet shut area) would leave a messy job and ,as I wish to get to the inner skin to rustproof it, that it would be better to replace the thing wholesale.
What I need to know is whether this panel is available as a repair section, from whom & for how much, or if I'd need to find a sound panel on another rotten car (the latter sounding like a no-goer as I believe this is a traditional Dolly weak point anyway)??
I hope my ramblings make at least some sense.....
