Is that genuine Heritage front? the fit looks very good, especially around the scuttle!
Needs a polish

Stardude, got enough hassle doing this one lol, the car is a Piccadilly that the previous owner sprayed with rattle cans
Retro_10s, all the panels are either Rover or Heritage as it makes the job easier. The scuttle has still been a pain to get right but I fairly happy with the results so far

Day 8 - Not much done today, I got the old flitch panel removed and prepared for the new panel, just the bottom of the windscreen to sort now and then get the welder out
There wont be any updates for a few days as the weather is not looking good until Saturday, so the min has been tucked up is a warm blanket

So it was out with the, drill, dremel and grinder again

All the panels are either Heritage or Rover from Somerford's and the fit is not bad only minor tweaking required. The door strap is part of the panel but you need the lower outer door step and outer A post panel as well. I will put up pics later on tonight for you
The rest of the car is pretty good with only minor repairs around the windows and rear valance
