Re: My slightly knackered old cars
That screen rot is an easy enough fix, I would think it easier to fabricate than cut and weld out of another though but everyone's style of bodgery is different!

Re: My slightly knackered old cars
I did the screen surround on one corner on my Panhard and it was a bastard. Even with a shit load of filler it still looks shit. If I had been able to get a replacement surround it would of been a lot easier and neater repair. Admittedly mine was all double curves and shit that made it even more awkward.

Re: My slightly knackered old cars
Look forward to seeing the rear screen panel repair, at first glance it looks straight forward enough but I can imagine the complexity of panel affairs multiplying once the full horror is revealed, a cut from another car would be my preferred option.

I had a mk1 1.6s many years ago.mercrocker wrote: ↑Wed Dec 18, 2019 10:08 pm Yeah, I guess a cut-out would be the way to go....I'm still kicking myself for letting a Mk1 Ascona go for silly money yonks ago. Nice cars and still very under-rated.
It was a great car apart from the automatic choke so we replaced it with a Weber 28/36.
Compared to the competition the build quality was light years ahead as well.

Well, I found photos of an Ascona and Chevette from a scrapyard I visited a few years ago, I'm hoping I can find some usable parts from them, that rear bumper from the Chevette would be handy

Wow Scotland must be a hotbed of scrap car enthusiasts, swapping spoils with each other!
Seems to be far more stuff up there

Re: My slightly knackered old cars
Would the interior be worth grabbing too? Door cards look ok and it's interior trim that can be hard to find.
