Mr S, Post some photos of what you are after and PM me your phone number and I�ll see what I can do, bear in mind I am flat out until Easter.

Thanks for the disposal offer Ruts but I think I'll get rid of them myself :tease:

cookinwithal, I should be fabricating a left hand one over Easter, if all works out I don�t think helping you out with one should be an issue.

Hi brocks72xu1,

I dont think Rare Spares have anythjng to worry about, there repair panels are pressed/punched as what I've made is all hand made.
I havn't realy looked at an LC/LJ as far as repair panels, only because I dont have one and dont know what the main rust areas are.


Cheers, Paul.

Paul,did you make some basic male and female dies to press the little rebates in the inner panel?
If not,how did you do it?
Its all fitting up real nice,you must be pretty happy.
Cheers,Craig.

Hi Craig,
Mate just put a joggle in it, on one of the photos of it clamped in the panbreak, you can see it has been taped down, then I flipped it over letting it hang out past the apron and used a chaser to tap it down, this gave it a joggle/step up. If I remember rightly you are a sheety as well, so you'd know what I mean.
Yeah mate, I happy with the outcome, all these pieces I have put up here are first attempt pieces, and did not have to remake any, so yeah rapped with how its all going.
All I have to do now is get the panel beater to pull out his finger.

Cheers Paul.

Hi, fantastic work, nice to see a sheety using his skills to save yet another torry.

Just wondering have you considered the possibility of fabricating the inner tail light section, the boxed section that fits behind that nice tailight surrount that you have made.

I would be very keen to purchase off you if you could make these as many others would also as these are a real rust trouble spot.
I know it would take some of your time to do this but you have teased us with your fabricating skill and now we all want!!!! hehehe

Any way post back and let me know as i am very keen to get hold of a couple of new ones.
Cheers mate
Al


Hi Al,
are you still after some inner tail light sections?

Are you by any chance going to produce some radiator supports?
The one you have made certainly looks the goods.

This is how the battery tray looked before and once fitted, it fitted a lot better than I thought it would, but still needed a little trim around the edges as most replacement panels do, all in all, I am quite happy with the outcome.

Good work

They look good so far... yet to test on car

Added them to my "hatch rust repair panel section"

The way I'm going I'll be able to build one from scratch soon :)

Hi Neil,
Glad to here they arrived, hope nothing was damaged
You will need to put your tail light in the housing and trace around it with a scriber and trim it to suit.
I left it that way to make sure you had enough metal to suit your car (I think you'll know what I mean).

Cheers Paul.
