It looks nice enough ;D One Question ? (or 2) Why does this bit need sorting if less than a year ago it was ride of the month in volksworld mag ? Everyone knows they don't allow rusty vehicles in that mag  and he hasn't owned it long ? Don't want to pee on your fireworks dude, but just me personally i would be asking these questions ? |

Well i think, i'd wait for another opinion, although with time running out.........  .. you have not been to seeit, i guess ? and those two question's would bother me (personally) also no history "What none at all ?" I just asked him the "why the replacement wheel well" wait to see what he says eh |

So i asked him and this was his reply  In Volksworld mag, readers can send in pictures and a brief description of their car and out of the 3 or 4 that they print they pick one to be car of the month. It's not a feature car. Maybe you should try reading volksworld,this months issue you would have seen the article about the 54 oval that's covered in rust!! So i just wrote back....... Yes, and that same vehicle was for sale at bugjam last year for £16,500 LOL...
Plus it's not rust it's patina so they will show it with a price tag like that, on the front cover.....it's marketing, thats not what a real average everyday dub owner would own or drive !!
Congratulations on your ride of the month award ;D |

Straight car but i would like to see pics of the door pillar bottoms, both a and b pillars, Floor pan pics and inner rear wings etc. The price to weld up that front well really depends on the metal work around it but would say 350 sounds pritty steep if just the well. Have you asked what his going price is. If you want to know anything else give us a ring on 07967722092.  |

Again look at the car if possible  as Karl has stated why does this panel need repair ? could this be due to accident damage, or something over looked during the restoration Also theres a lot of old black rust, plus fresh red rust staining thus showing signs of wet getting in, so again you'd need to sort out the fault to cure this problem for good. |
