sorry to see your car in such a state, but it looks like a pretty simple fix really. i have a few of the parts you may need including a rear 1/4 panel complete which you could use to repair. give me a shout via pm with a list of what you need and i can sort some prices
thanks

Hi all,

Another update, car is almost ready to be resprayed :) but as always, I'm sure it is going to take a little longer than anticipated. My Cousin is doing an ace job and is very detailed and meticulous, which is great because I can trust he will do a good job and not overlook any rust or other bits required.

Update and pics again soon.

Kat

Maybe a dent too far, but a hairdryer and a can of compressed air can perform well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILVWPzO_swY

Yeah, A944 TOO much work for me I think, although I would love to take my car apart and replace all the worn bits and give everything a check over but I don't think I have the patience...

Loads of stuff on Ebay at the moment for cheap..even a passenger side wing with no rot for £100 delivered :0( hey ho!

Last night we were polishing up the Lacquer and the wing is now ready to be bolted back on, along with the plastic body trim that sits on the bottom of the wings/sil..although there are a few of the plastic speed nuts that are rusted on, so I have to get them off somehow.

Car is looking gorgeous again, I can't believe I own it really, I think I'm very lucky.

Before it's MOT'd again though I have to look at the engine mounts, exhaust and I have to replace a CV boot on the rear. Phew!

Will update with photos soon.
