Still goin to use the Engine & box & brakes for the Cab but will be finding replacement parts for the RS after the body has been restored So ended up getting a H Plate XR3i to nick a few bits off for the RS Going to use the spare front panels that I put aside for the Cab for the RS Front Wings Scuttle Panel Front Panel Front X Member Just lookin for some rear panels now Needs some welding doin to the following areas Floor both sides Floor just above the rear footwells under the seat inner sills Outer Sills Rear Panel and I may get some rear quarter panels if I can find them Boot Floor - thinking of just replacing the full rear floor section from a cab (as there better protected from rust) & doin it in 1 go Just need to unstitch the Floor then hav a go @ un stichin the RS Floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
