MarineIguana Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 A hammer and chisel will be the easiest way to remove the panels make sure its sharp and just find the spots where its welded and get the chisel between the panel and body and it should come apart A few panels are available from Ebay but won't be originals http://stores.ebay.co.uk/classiccarpartsdirect/_i.html?_fsub=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
