Best Place for Panels?

[Caledfryn]

About to get my Traveller project tomorrow and I'm assuming it's going to need some significant metal work once I start digging into it.

If it was a Beetle (is that a swear word on this forum? lol) I'd know where to go for panels and who does the best quality.

Any suggestions about where to go for the best panels/who makes the best repro when NOS/second hand isn't available?

ESM have access to the Hadrian panels I believe, so they are probably your starting point http://www.morrisminorspares.co.uk.
I can't vouch for ESM's panels, but Hadrian panels (bought a while ago) have been used to good effect in my resto. The only panels that seem of poor quality are the bottom C post repair panel on my 4 door, but this won't concern your trav ;)

Have a read here, http://www.morrisminorspares.co.uk/news.php
I believe Bull Motif are producing their own panels as well....

I have used Tom Roy in Middlesborough for all my bits -they are absolutely fab.

I haven't had panels from them, but all the other bits I've ordered (sill parts, seals, other bits and bobs) are competetively priced and have arrived next day and they are so friendly and knowledgeable when you speak to them....I highly recommend them!

I tried ESM but they didn't have the part I was looking for and didn't advise me that I could use an alternative method to repair - Tom Roy on the other hand were really happy to give me lots of advice etc.

Just my experience

Interesting read M25VAN i would think the larger petrol tank would be welcome when the original one wears out, still to investigate mine who knows i might end up with one.

thanks for the link and interesting comments with regards panel supplies.

Kind Regards

Only trouble with the larger petrol tanks is it is taller - the spare wheel won't fit in the gap between boot floor and top of tank (in a saloon)

[Daddybear1984]

Very true but i am fitting Minilites to Yoda so no spare wheel for me though i could make use and have the bigger tank, either way won't be for a while, though for those that will be keeping the standard wheels it's handy to know

kind regards
