Hi guys
As a newcomer to the Transit world this may seem like an obvious question, but does anybody sell repair panels for MK2's? Or is it just a case of coming the sites for nos.
Thanks
Jason

Have spotted a few places on the net still advertising pattern panels - i'm guessing its all old stock though and will eventually all be gone. Probably a good start up business opportunity if you can justify the minimum quantity or get hold of the original pressings - i'm guessing they didn't get scrapped when the last place doing them closed.

Thanks for info'. I've just bought a front panel which loks okay, is obviously NOS as has a little surface rust, but only £35 delivered.

Don't expect you happened to buy the Hadrian's panel tooling did you Fred? The people who bought most of their stuff don't list much of anything older anymore.

Apparently all their machinery - power presses etc were cut up and scrapped, I just hoped the tooling was saved even if its just in storage somewhere

I'll try and take some over the weekend, just found lower rear corners as well so spare room looks like a Ford parts office!

Trouble is the Transit panels are next to a set of Fiesta k1 wings, an Escort mk1 front end, an Escort mk2 front end and a pair of new rear springs for a Dodge. My wife is very understanding! Jas
