Are you able to get hold of those repair panels easily?

You can get most panels for these but at a price.
Mk1 owners club do a lot of panels at a fare price but if you
want good fitting panels then express panels are the firm but not cheap.

You've been busy! do you think this is better or worse than your Lotus Tina? When was this one taken off the road? Its worse than the Lotus. This needs everything the Lotus had plus rear wheel tubs, n/s floor pan scuttle repairs o/s a-panel ect ect

Been blasted and the welding commences by Mr Colin Ginn. Will soon have it back and then the long process of prep and paint and the rest of the restoration I will do. http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af243/chap280/CORTINA%20MK1%20GT/20160127_081728.jpg http://i1012.photobucket.com/albums/af243/ch...
