Looks like a great project 👍

 

You can buy replacement panels from places like Burtons. Cool car, get stuck in and don't be afraid to buy a mig welder (if you don't have one) and get stuck in....ask away as someone will know the answer and help out.

Welcome and thanks for posting.

 

Brilliant stuff thanks for the advice..we currently building a house atm to so the house taking priority..yes most definitely will be buying a mig welder and helping out I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions to ask soon as we start thanks again.
