I remembered to get a list of the main replacement panels. On the offside -- front wing, outer & inner A panels & pillar repair panel, complete door (but not glass), external hinges kit, side panel and seam finisher. On the nearside -- front wing (to accommodate the 10” wheel) plus remedial work on the passenger door. It was not affected by the accident but while trying to make the door fit better Paul discovered on the lower rear that a piece of metal had been only tack welded in and then covered with a lot of filler, so he took it all out and welded in new metal. There are photos of this but I haven't seen them. On the front – complete van grille.
The wheels as previously stated will be 4.5 Minilife 10” with 145 tyres, since we are going for optimum road performance, not the chunky 165 look. Huey has done chunky already and now it's back to basics. He is getting a couple of towing eyes because I'm fed up with having the tie bars bent. The sill and arch seams will be silver and the shield bonnet badge will have a silver surround, not the plain black one.
More in three weeks-ish
