Hey ho.

Well the bodyshop say for my car it is just possible they could cut out and deal with only the rusted area, leaving the original complicated shaped panel in situ. But most likely to cut back to sound metal they will need to use the repair panel.

They are a, do not pre judge what we will find body shop.

For the actual problem area, they propose a number of pieces be welded in, fabricating new panels would be seriously more money. I'm not a purist. A sound repair done to last is good to go for me.

Has anyone found panels 2 or 3 available? Please?
