So today I started on the other side panel ( I Promise it will get more interesting soon) what a PITA that turned out to be, the first one wasn't too bad to do but the right hand side is an aftermarket panel which is a different plastic ( thicker, harder and not ABS) it reacts to heat differently, the curvatures are a little off and it resists the "hot rivets" to make the joins but we have got there in the end (I have left it for the glue to set now and will start sanding in the morning

I guess you have the original mounts left and will reallocate those? Or will you fabricate new ones?
One of mine have broken off and is missing, I have been poundering if I should fabricate something or get a new panel..maybe you have some ideas for this?

I need to fabricate almost everything on this build, the original frame mounts are gone and the panels are a totally different shape now. I will pick up the bottom mounts from the extra tubes I put in to brace the frame for the mono-shock conversionVery nice!

Have you got the piece that broke off your panel ?
Edit: just saw that it is missing maybe you could find what you need on a different panel (or just bite the bullet and buy new) I am only going to all this hassle because I can't buy panels that would fit the way I want with the frame mods and one- off seat

Looks like you have a little room under there for a bottle of Nitrous!Happy to report that the saga of the sidepanels is drawing to a close, got the mounts sorted today so just a bit of fine tuning and they will be ready for bodyworking
