Don't know the answer to your question but I know of a place about 10 miles from me which specialises in old Ford panels. They used to break a lot erst but I guess those became few and far between. Now they do panels. Can't see that they have the ones you want but might be worth a call. http://www.car-body-panels.com/

 

 

Thought id Chuck up a few pics of F262 SVW, slowly getting her back to former glory. I’m glad I’m coded welder by trade or it would of been off to the scrap yard. I didn’t have a clue how rotten she was when I bought her off here.

 

FairPlay looks like uve made some good progress

 

keep losing interest only problem, back end should be rebuilt next weekend when rest of running gear back from the Coaters. Swap it round and onto the front, few repairs to doo at the front but it’s pretty solid weirdly. It’s like it’s been parked with its arse in the river lol. Then paint rest of underside, replace bushes and ship her off to the body shop to raid my piggy bank.

 

Same here been doing a mk4 xr3i for years the front end was good just the normal floors sills n in outer rear arches
Jst finishing rebuild at the moment

 

Wow great job so far. Welding is one of those skills I wish I had. I bought a mig welder a couple of years ago wanting to learn. Didn't think that one through what with living on a flat an all.

 

Thanks Bud. And that’s class mate, just practise welding in the dinning room lol. And I’m a tig/stick pipe welder by trade but mig is easy, wouldn’t take anybody long to get to a standard. I’m just looking forward to getting this finished and sent to away to the body shop lads. Not looking forward to the cost though

 

Good to see my old car getting repaired. Cracking job you are doing.

 

Cheers Daz, much appreciated, just got all the fab and welding complete on the front now and she will be in paint underneath by end of this weekend. All the new parts are powder coated and Pollys fitted so front end should be complete within 2 weeks. Then off for full respray start of Oct. she’s needs to be back on road this year. Been in garage past 4

 

Thought I’d chuck up a few progress photos on the old RS. Mite even see the road again in 2020

 

 

It's really coming along. Good job so far. Keep the progress pictures coming.

 

cheers mate, just got a new house and it needs doing up so looks like RS will be be getting shelved for a while now untill I get some penny’s and time. Shane though as I wanted to have it done this summer.

 

Here she is in 1996.

 

Loving seeing her come back to her former glory. You are doing great.

 

thanks Daz, and thanks for the pics, great to see how she used to look. She’s had a hard life and cost a small fortune in time and money but not a mile off now. I’ll hopefully get time to finish her off over winter. Been a long old project mate.
