curtis Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Looking for some advice and ideas.I recently bought my coupé,as reported in another thread and am about to start a full programme of rallyes. First up will be in the Alpes next month and I'll tell you about that later.Anyway,if me and the car are still in one piece at the end of the year I want to do some work on the body.The most important is the tops of the rear wings,on the inside edge at the door end.Hope that has been described well enough?What options are there? Are the wings in two parts,top and bottom?Looking forward to your thoughts.Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curtis Posted February 1, 2006 Author Share Posted February 1, 2006 Got it now,thanks.Are the coupé panels any different?What would you put the value of this item at?I am a bit out of touch,here in France.Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Mason Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I think the panels are the same going by pictures i have and those panels will go for £100+ at a guess. Cant find anyone selling the top panel....bottom go's for around £70.Matt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heraldcoupe Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 Sorry for the lack of response earlier, BIG computer problems, hopefully now resolved.If at all possible, avoid changing the rear wings. Repair rather than replace wherever possible with the rear panels. Body distortion is a real problem with Heralds, even original panels can be a nightmare to fit where a body has sagged. Sagging occurs with few isible signs until the top of the new wing panel is straight, compared to the curved face you are trying to mate it to...... good quality repair panels are available for all the regular rot spots.The auction panels carry early part numbers specific to the 1959 and early 1960 Saloons. The lower seam will have shorter return edges where it meets the boot floor, and the B-post roof mountings will be different to those on later saloons. Cheers,Bill.
