Opel Monza Many Leeches Needed

[SambaS]

Hi I need to fabricate this section of the inner wing on my Monza, would anyone be able to provide me with a picture of what it's *meant* to look like.

New panels are not available to buy.



Thanks.

Ouch, that looks unsurprising for a Monza! If our resident Monza expert doesn't surface soon-ish I would try posting this on the Retro Rides forum as there are a couple of Monza types on that board.

Wtf happened there ??

What's the rest of the car like ?

Is that a plant growing in the foreground?

BC! Where are you?

No plants on this one! That's part of the wiring to the head and fog lamps. Actually the off side in this area is worse, and the NS chassis leg needs a section fabricating too. I had this on the road like that in 2010, albeit covered in filler! *absolutely not my doing. After 2 months of owning it there was a knocking.. It was the anti roll bar, which had rotted completely off the chassis. Then I parked her up and bided my time, dragged my heels and then go stuck in in April, unearthing what you see. And my welding skillz certainly arnen't up to that! Hey ho, I bought it cheap and expected problems.

Why don´t you just make a fitting piece of sheet metal and weld it in,

the lamp does not have a very close fit in there so a bit of inaccuracy won´t hurt.

I mught have an original Opel workshop manual for Senator/Monza,

would you be interested in that ? There should be many pictures inside.

Is the complete front panel missing ?

I found that, but for 450€ plus transport :
