[bear351c 10,270]

Is there a replacement panel for this area, behind the front guards of an XA, XB and XC.?  Been looking for a while. Those of you with this model know the area well.  .

 

 

 

Stole pics from EvilC, hope you dont mind, mate

Hope im wrong though.

im pretty sure a GT shop in Melbourne dose the whole replacement panel ill see if i can dig up a link... its pricey though!

 

EDDIT: cant seem to find a link although i know someones making replacement panels ive seen them pop up on ebay aswell

[bear351c 10,270]

Oh OK, I'll go have a good look.

It looks like something that could be fabbed up easily enough from what I can see in the pics. Unpick it and keep it as intact as you can and go visit your nearest sheet metal joint. I reckon it'd be doable.

Rod?

[bear351c 10,270]

Yeah, be good one for Rod, our resident panel guru...

[MNTL.XD 3,831]

Definitely!

[2redrovers 21,400]

That's A pillar yeah? There's slight difference to the xb coupe one. Which part of it do you want, the flat vertical with the lines or the cut off top cap in second pic?

[MNTL.XD 3,831]

I'd say both sections for both models would sell really well Rod. EVERYBODY'S chasing them, yet nobody makes them. You could be rich! Rich i tells ya!

[2redrovers 21,400]

If I change my name to rich, do I get the money that goes with it? Logically, I'd say yes because that would also explain why I seem to get shafted a lot. (think about.... Aaaand there it is)

[bear351c 10,270]

Bahh ha ha ha ha....... I see what ya did there.  

[bear351c 10,270]

It's the upright panel between the guard and footwell. The dirt and leaves fall in there, and slowly rust out the panel, and leak water into the kick panel area. Not even sure if you can unpick this bit....... might be part of the original pressing. 

[2redrovers 21,400]

Yeah you could be in luck with that part, I've been contemplating making a full panel to fit Gerry's.

 

 

wondered if anyone would get it

[bear351c 10,270]

Yeah you could be in luck with that part, I've been contemplating making a full panel to fit Gerry's.

 

 

I'll have a left anna right, thanks...........

[2redrovers 21,400]

Can do mate

[2redrovers 21,400]

This spot will do for this... Can someone help me out with good pics of the bottom of the a pillar and torque box area? There's too much missing on Gerry's and honestly haven't got time to Wade through searching for good information.

Particularly the underneath structures and floor braces attached to lower firewall / inner wheel well.
Cheers
