Body panels

Hiya
Both of the front arches on our '79 bedford cf have rotted out and have been concealed by newspaper and filler. Is it easier to buy replacement arch panels and where can you buy them from or hand make repair panels and weld them on.
Cheers

finding a new set is almost imposable, even second hand ones tend to be rare, they usually command a pricey penny. even though they could be rusty.

If you can make new ones then your lucky, maybe you could make more so other members could benefit from your talent

Pressed panels.

Hi to all,

Some time ago I had dealings with a steel panel pressing company and asked them if they would if I supplied a copy panel would they press some out but they said if it was for a limited number or an out of production vehical it was not worth there while.

I will give it a go done some body panels for newer vehicles but these wings have odds curves. If all goes well I will make a few

Hans, I just found loads of newspaper in mine. The fun. If you do manage to make any I'd be interested in buying a pair and rear ones if you're up for the challenge.
In other news I need a new tail pipe for my van. It's a '78 auto sleeper. Anyone any ideas? Not next month.....
