ok, so this is now how the car currently looks.

[scrappy1382]

its not perfect, but straight to drive and its not a puller. i know this as overtook a police car heading to work to stick it on the hunter 4 wheel alignment system.

ok, so for those that were interested - sorry, i have withdrawn the sale as im keeping her. she will get rebuilt. too many memories and bonding moments with my daughter. her shouting " daddys car, my car my car" high 5 thumbs up picture moments. and lets not forget, all the bloody hard work on building her up to how she is now. shes a limited car, so many memories, not just my memories , but the previous owners too.
i made a promise when purchasing this car, that i would take the car back to the now previous owner. ( lets just call him rob ) of a photo moment of how it looks .. i WILL keep this promise. SHE WILL LIVE ON

Any use?

[scrappy1382]

thats a great price for a replacement panel! how far does your damage extend?

[scrappy1382]

hi steve sorry for the late reply, boot floor, rear quarter panel, this is what would ideally need to be done to see how bad the damage really is. seeing how the drivers rear wheel arch has the worst rot, if i was to go this stage, i would carry on and put a replacement panel on that side to seeing as its now creased due to the impact. put it needs to go on a jig to properly assess the damage

it really isn't that bad then. if you replace the whole quarter and full rear panel then that sorts most of it out with some filling in the gaps. and gets you a solid wing out of it too. most difficult part will be finding a donor that's not rotten! you just need to find someone breaking one and go up before it gets crushed and chop out what you need...

can you take some measurements yourself to check squareness?

[scrappy1382]

you just need to find someone breaking one and go up before it gets crushed and chop out what you need...

ironically i do know a local ( ish ) chap breaking one at the moment. i say breaking, its more ready to collect ... parts will be collected that i think i will need and then its the dreaded saving to get her fixed back up and resprayed.

measurements wise, i now have ants scala that was posted up in the projects thread, so measurements shouldnt be too much of a problem.
