Hi

It's decision time with my terribly rusty 144. The wings and front panel are rotten in all the usual places and I'm trying to weight things up re: cost of repair etc.

It seems that front panels are available new from Brookhouse but they are the later types, with the vertical vents beneath the main grille. I think Volvo changed the radiator position and the size and shape, but wondered if I would still be able to use one of these later panels.

My panel (which 5% lost to rust at the ends) is the older type without the vertical vents.

Any suggestions would be great
Cheers
