Sadly they don't have what im looking for.

The main thing I'm after is the rear panel as mine is starting to blister in places.

I got one from local suppliers a couple months ago, was for a hatch but cut bottom out to use on my cab where it had been pushed in too far to pull out neatly.

Try ringing a few of the old school motor factors and tell em what you need.

Im waiting for a good supply of arches to appear, i want to do the inner and outer on back of cab so they're 100%.

Hadrian were perfect, but after they closed all i could find were some cheaper ones and the inner & outer didnt even line up with each other never mind the car so told em to send them back.

I know some fitting is necessary, but if you start with good quality panel which is almost perfect you're giving yourself less hassle and a better outcome.

If anyone knows of inner and outer arches which are decent (Hadrian or similar) let me know please!!

This may seem a long shot but go to ford for the back panel I got mine from there late last year and he said there was a few available still. Worth a shot and it'll fit properly being genuine.

Hello mate,
I have a 'Hadrian panels' rear panel that I might sell as I think I'm going to reshell mine now rather than restore it as it's far worse than I first thought.
I'll let you know tommorow if you are interested.

Sy.
