Thanks, I have emailed S&S to see what their prices are.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a view as to the best quality front wing lower repair panels. Both Robsport and Rimmers list them, but there is a difference in the pricing. Many thanks Brett

I am considering outsourcing the body restoration of my mk2 GT6. I live in Hertfordshire, I'm looking to get a few quotes, does anyone have any recommendations. Thanks

Here is another

As promised, here are some pics of my rear inner wheel arch panels On my way! my 6. I'm seriously considering outsourcing the body repairs, including the bonnet.

Thanks John, appreciate the pics and comments, must say that's scary:-) I am hoping to spend a few hours this weekend, I have taken more pics, so will hopefully post some soon.

Does anybody have any advice and pics relating to the best way to replace a GT6 rear inner wheel arch? Thx

No pics, but the strip down continued today, the rear panel is 90% completed and the rear os wing is 95% stripped. Further investigations reveal that the floor and sills are solid, so it could be that I only need the ns rear wing and the is rear wing repair panels. Another £200, which I could fund through the sale of my floor panel and the sill panels I have. Also considering the colour originally it was dark blue, then red, now I'm thinking old English white. Must say really feeling good about the GT6, especially with the progress.

Just purchased some more panels, inner sill and strengthener for the near side and the repair sections for the light pods, I purchased the mk1 repair sections for my mk2. :-) I like the look better. I still have about £800 pounds of panels to source, still small steps.

Only managed 3 hours this weekend, but I did remove the rear number plate, and number plate light, rear hatch, rear side vents and the rear windows. I also continued to remove the paint from the rear of the car. I have also purchased a domain to formally track my progress and upload all my pics. Will be a few weeks before its running. I still aim to update this thread. :-)

Well this weekend i removed the car from the garage allowing me to tidy the working environment and provided the opportunity to take some more detailed Pics. No further work has been undertaken on the car apart from hoovering all the dust out of it. I have ordered some more poly disc to continue the strip down to bare metal. I have also decided that I will retain the Webasto sun roof, but thanks to all who inputed into how to fill in the hole. I will be posting some pics detailing the level of welding and that state of the body so far. However these are rather large images so I mak upload to Flikr and post the links. cant wait to complete the strip down, but I estimate at least another 4 days on the outside and the underside of the bonnet is another story.

I have to do the same to mine before it goes to paint, but I decided to leave the old stuff on until I get to the point of final bodywork and paint just so the good metal underneath remains protected. It was a consideration, but I need to know what's good and what's bad, will prime it to protect, I'm hoping in a few more weeks everything will be stripped off.;-)
