I really must get in the garage and get on with mine...
Was it a special one? It's a great job being done, but I have to say I would have got something more solid to start with. Still with talent like that, anything is possible! Keep up the good work Jon. |

Its special alright its made it back from the dead twice! Accept this time it wont need doing again as will only have light use
I no what your saying about something a little more solid,and yes i agree but there all the same when you start cutting bits off here and there, the end of the day they were rusty from new! At least this way I no every inch is solid and done right.Its also keeping another one alive that would have been scrapped by many people.
Heres an update:
Hillman Avenger MK1 GT,
Commer PB Pick-Up x2,
Commer PB Panel Van,
Dodge spaceavan Auto sleeper,
Triumph Stag MK1,

Alpine West Mids have various repair sections for these - maybe you could make up some wings out of various panels. I don't like your chances of finding any steel wings

I here what your saying regards wings, but I manage to find a nos front panel so im sure there are some wings out there somewhere
Well you never know, you might get lucky.
I managed to pick up a pair last year in a job lot (including a car) but they are the only ones I have ever seen for sale and that is over the last 20 years!
I hope you do find some, the resto deserves some!
