Hey everyone

Now I've got Doris mostly stripped out, it's about time I stated getting in repair panels so I can start brushing out the rust (and I mean brushing as most of her floor and inner wings etc are mainly rust and air!!!) and stitching in new panels ready for a thick coat of anti-rust primer. Any ideas where I can order good quality repair panels? Preferably not the paper thin pressings but decent guage steel panels that are likely to slightly resemble the correct shape

I have had a quick look through ESM's repair panels and worked out that I won't be far off a thousand quids worth of panels but still if I want Doris to last another 35 years I gotta do it properly!!

Thanks in advance

Lee (& Doris)

Same here mate. I need the same for my '52 and want it to last as long as possible as well.

So come on folks! Where are the best panels available from?

In case anyone fancies a good session of tutting and sharp intakes of breath through their teeth I've put the pics of what I found under the 4 wings up on my website link, not for the feint hearted though!!

I've got toothache now with all the cold air drawn over them!!!!

Nah, I've seen worse, and Ray's bought worse!!!

We all like a challenge!

Well Lee - not all of it needs complete panels, but it's up to you really.
The rear wing seam is a pig of a job, and ith the state of the A-posts etc.. you'd have to have a really good reason to do all that wark

True, there's only the paint holding the Raymobile together

As for the challenge, I wouldn't have got me a mog if I didn't like a challenge I'd have got a rot proof eurobox with all the electronics ready to go wrong on me when I need it most At least with a mog, unless it's something drastic, I can repair it myself roadside if necessary!

nah - the paint is worse than the rest of the car, and that is really saying something!!

You LOVE it!!

Yup, seen and bought much worse - you're quite lucky no-one's tried to repair things with random gauge steel patches! Mind you, these things always look worse in the flesh than in the photo - good luck.

If you have the patience it is possible to acquire panels from ebay although the postage costs can be prohibitive.
