Re: Fitment of aftermarket panels,really frustrating!!
I really just can't get things rolling with this restoration,wasn't expecting all this hassle,putting a damper on things to say the least.I'm just going to have to wait on the wood i ordered,then cut and poke around with these panels to make them remotely minor shaped.

Re: Fitment of aftermarket panels,really frustrating!!
It is very frustrating, but unfortunately you have fallen into the same trap as the rest of us. The assumption that you can buy a replacement part that fits your vehicle is a fair one. The reality is that a lot of it is rubbish, take a look at some of the panels made abroad by a well known restoration specialist, they are laughable.
Take a step back, sit down with a refreshing beverage and take a deep breath. All of these problems can be overcome, it's just not going to be as straight forward as you expected.

So somewhere there is a restoration just about to start on an Anglia.........les wrote:Well it's like this, someone wheeled in a ford Anglia and told them it was a Morris.
Don't give up! Look forward to the wood coming and use the time to plan other parts of the restoration. Problems occur and solutions are found.rumpelstiltkin wrote:I really just can't get things rolling with this restoration,wasn't expecting all this hassle,putting a damper on things to say the least.I'm just going to have to wait on the wood i ordered,then cut and poke around with these panels to make them remotely minor shaped.
