Hi all.
A while ago I begun sourcing "bits" for my dream disco, a blue on blue 3 door 200tdi. Some of the larger pieces I've collected have been vehicles, I even have one for it's interior...
The basis for the rebuild is my J reg, with a spotless chassis and solid boot floor, rear arches and inner wings. The front end however is less than ideal.
Now the bit I need help with is whether I should bin the front end and start with new inner wings and headlight boxes or continue patching up the existing stuff with 3mm plate. Excessive I know but I have huge amounts of it for no cost so I'm using it.
What would you do? This is a vehicle I intend on keeping for as long as I can so I want to do it right, I'm just not sure what would last longer. I've thought of maybe just binning passenger side as it's grotty but I don't know if I should do both.
Advice and opinions very much welcomed folks
Thanks
