I am glad to say that this one is destined for the scrap yard.

I rebuilt worse, using YRM panels actually

Looks like a nice one you've got there.

yea my inner wings were only abit worse than that,so i looked at what whole new pannels cost,and found they arnt that expensive,so just unbolted everything,and threw them away,too far gone to repair! the replacement pannels are only about 150 quid a side,thats the whole inner wing from paddock spares! or abit deerer from famous four,although yours is a newer one to mine,so your pennels will be spot welded on,so you might be better to just save what u have there already! u havent done all that bad with that old girl tho,looks alrite to me!

What year did they change, my 84 is bolted and think the 88 is as well, but could be wrong.

I am tempted to get the bonnet off tonight and start dismantling. Funny how these things spread... I see the oil cooler and pipes are both totally manky, could probably pop them off at the same time... So I'd be looking at 2 inner wings, two light boxes, oil cooler, pipes and the bits in between the light boxes. Are we talking pro welding here, or just a few decent seam welds? Nothing structural in wings and light boxes is there? Now to ebay for a cheap mains power mig welder...
