that was beasties (or something like that) car, had the body lifted and chassis sorted.

Shuch as shame as that was quite a well sorted mica blue 400SE - but its a fairly straightforwars GRP repair - biggest hassle will be paint so a snip at £2400 I`d say

And when you think of the status of these cars 20 years ago, and their price...

Now look at what a rusty old Mk2 Escort will cost you...or a 2.8i Capri... totally ridiculous.

Surely, that's a bargain.

Chassis was repaired without the body being lifted

Real shame to see it like that

That's exactly why I bought mine. There's no way I'm paying four grand plus for an Escort.

Hi
i've just bought the car today, (the 3rd wedge have owned), you must have viewed it Yesterday?.Just wondered why you didn't buy it?
Not too sure about how iam going to tackle the repair ie buy a 1/4 panel or try my luck at a bodyshop? any suggestions

[grahamw48]

Hi !

Good luck with the car.

As you'll know, it's the time you're really paying for.
The panel you need is apparently available, so reckon it's a bit of phoning around you need to do first, and then decide whether it's a roll yer own sleeves up job.

I suppose getting the paint right will be a challenge too.

Contact Dave Hillis (Plasticman) through his profile on PH - he is an expert! Not sure where in the country you are based, he is near Bedford. People travel a long way to have him do repairs.

Hi
are there any alteratives to the TET panels and does anyone know of 'fiberglass people' in South Yorkshire (i'm based in Barnsley)

[grahamw48]

You're handy for Richard Thorpe at RTracing in Sheffield ...Wedge guru.

Might be worth giving him a ring. - www.rtracing.co.uk
