escort cossie 1/4 panels......
been browsing ebay looking at prices of panels and just general escos stuff and came across this panel...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/escort-coswort...1%7C240%3A1318
ok i would think it was a bargain if it was a new panel but look at how its been removed.....you would have to be paul daniels to be able to use that
the general thing with getting a good price for second hand panels is leave plenty on to be trimmed off and fitted ....not the other way round

i have looked and looked again and don't see the problem. i have worked in bodyshops that have cut a qtr panel like the ebay one in half and stitched it in with neat quick small welds to stop the panels warping and got a really nice finish to what was a bent fooked looking original panel.

you should also know how much proper bodyshops charge per hr and if the qtr's had a proper biff it saves fucking about with the pin puller and panel beating and thus make for a better job without loads of bog.
i still dunno what you mean about you would need paul daniels to make it fit and then you say you could do it easily
are you debbie magee or somthin ??

whats wrong with the panel is it has been cut off without the door shut, its been cut too short at the sill ie the join would be above the kit, there is metal missing all round the arch, and the 8" or so that is under the bumper is missing...cut short round the tail light etc
it has obv been cut off leaving enough metal on the shell for them to rivey a carbon panel or similar in its place
you should have gone to spec savers
