New Panels

[Guest DaveBall]

I have finished the winter project of rebuilding the front and rear suspension and it is still December. While I have removed the back wings to make accessing the back axle easier the idea came to me to change the panels from mild steel to polished stainless ( I was planning a respray next winter)

The big question is, has anybody tried this just using the existing panels as templates or will it be easier to approach Robin Hood and try and buy the panels

Any help would be appreciated

i would attempt to do myself.... even if you buy new panels, they needed trimming to fit, if you think you can put the bends in i would just buy sheet

i dont think theyre that expensive from gbs

 

however, as mentioned, they arent a straight fit and will need modding.

put a wanted ad up on here, someone might have some spare

Buy 0.7mm bright stainless sheets and cut your own As Dave says even if GBS has any panels left they never fitted from new but you will need access to good cutting equipment as it would take a long time with an angle grinder and a big pile of discs

Thanks everybody I'll buy a couple of sheets and make my own although the bonnet will be fun!!
