Blue, have you tried sticking up a wanted ad on FABO? Maybe you'll get lucky and someone will have one sat about?

God I hate bodywork! With no panels arriving anytime soon I've had no option but to do a temporary make good of what I've got. Bit of fabbing and welding and a slathering of bondo and we have no holes and no ragged edges,it will have to do for now...

Bit of general tiding and getting rid of the bulkhead connector, it was in pretty poor shape with the plastic falling apart.

Lest you think I've been slacking in these arctic conditions, an update. Been doing all manner of minor fettling, rustproofing, painting and parts sourcing. Under hood area totally decluttered, excess holes welded up and larger holes panelled over, ready to rub down and fill. Front end electrics all rerouted and finished. Dash fully stripped and ready to prep for paint, front valance repaired and ready to paint when it warms up a bit. Reassembly is about to commence!

Yes I hope so Don, I was aiming to have it back together for next month but this bloody floor pan has put me right back. On the upside though I managed to buy one on eBay yesterday so that should be here in a couple of weeks.
