Looks like the windscreen surround is in the early stages of where mine is now. I think i'll bite the bullet and shell out for a new one. Thanks very much for cutting it out though!

Allsort, it's all yours!

The inner wings are shot, well the whole front was, but will see what I can do with the tunnel, I need sections of the floor pan and cross member for the cab, but have not had a good look at what I need yet.. I'll cut sypathetically if I can...

Have you this bit of a front panel thats rot free?


As wile diging around at some filler put ther by the PO, have found a lot of rot and a plate has been welded over the top of more rust.
And I don't really want to buy a hole new front panel as the rest of it still seams preaty rot free.

Cheers,
karl

Not just guessworks if anyone with the part I need from a old front panel, would be much apreceated :w00t:

Or

I'll be off down the scrappy.

I do now :w00t:

Just thought you could only get the whole panel which
A. Would be a bit pointless for a few inch strip
Or
B. Replace the whole front panel, which I kind of don't want to do as the rest is still rot free.

Only really need a small part of it as the lip that the wing is welded to no longer exists.

There was a big hole between the head light and the bumper, so I suspect the bit you're after is contributing to the ironoxide pile on the floor..

Consider anything before the A-post scrap...
