body panels etc

[bobthebarge]

if any of you have seen the pics of my estate you will know i have quite a shopping list, but i may as well put my feelers out now for
body repair panels rear arches and lower rear 1/4 ,
front inner wing repair panels,
front wings
basically i probably need all the usual panels , so if you have any stuff left over from a project let me know, before i ring brookhouse
a spare steel wheel ( drum brake on rear)
bumpers

i am based in manchester /cheshire

As this seems to be your first post I doubt if many/any of us have seen pics of your car unless it was an eBay one that has been mentioned in dispatches as they say. We'd like to see them and I'd like to add your reg number to my estate database if I may.
Good luck with the rebuild.

its the 1965 estate in the members cars gallery, i will update more pics when i figure a faster way of doing it,
reg number jjh 442 c been off road since the mid 80s, its not the one off ebay , this came from a derelict chicken farm in cheshire

Thanks for that. Not on the database. The rack is a bonus and worth more to Amazon owners than those who own Cortinas. IMO of course. Rust in the rear end of the Estate isn't an easy job so again, good luck with the resto.
Updates as you have them please!

it was a site auction at a derlelict chicken farm, there were half a dozen old cars been stood since the 70s, saabs austin a55 vans some volvos, even an anglia van, lot 234 was the roof rack which i wanted for my cortina, lot 235 was the estate , the only people bidding were scrap dealers , so i stepped up to save it, sadly a banger racer bought a 244 estate, and the other amazon estate went to the scrap men,
the welding is beyond me , and will be done by professionals who have done some superb work on the cortina ,
i will bore everyone with lots of pics in due course,
but the reason i fell for the car was the build quality , compared to the cortina its fantastic, but i dont suppose that will suprise any of you

If you took any pics or the auction catalogue had any details including the reg number of the other Amazon estate, I'd appreciate the info. Thanks.

i dont know how to edit my original posting,
but i am also going to need window seals and door seals ,
plus all the things related to getting a car thats been unused for 20 odd years back on the road, so any nos brake parts , steering joints etc, it looks like the car may have been taken off the road due to a failed clutch master cylinder as there was a repair kit in the car,
so you know the kind of things i am after ,
i havent had the car running yet as its not high priority , but i believe i can convert this dizzy to electronic which is something i want to do,
so will be wanting a later dizzy at some point,
fuel pump service kits , servo service kits ,
polybushes etc etc.

Brookhouse Volvo parts will be able to supply most of the repair panels & all the seals, brake & suspension parts etc. Their webshop isn't online, so best to call.
