[QUOTE="damo, post: 553863, member: 9043"] Thanks for the tips & advice. I contacted Mark at MCJ but never got a response. Not gonna chase it further. Had a look over on late bay, but couldn't see any front panels for sale I'm afraid. Perhaps you could direct me to the ad? I did ask whether my panel could be saved, even if it has to be cut off first, repaired, and then put back in place, but was told it was beyond saving. And that is from someone who has spent a lifetime doing classic vehicle bodywork, so I have to bow to that experience. The body shop I have chosen is also a very reputable one, and he did great work on a previous van of mine. Still waiting for a plan of action, but he suggested that possibly the low indictor section may be salvageable, and that can be welded to a new smooth front panel. We shall see. Am incl pic of the damaged area for those interested.
