Alternative Front Grill / Bodykit Q's

[bmouthboyo]

Just rip it off and bin it.The fewer of those body kits in the world the better. You will be doing the t3/t25 world.A huge favour

Makes them look like those Dodgems they have at the fairground !

You need some propr spots 6 and 3/4 or 7" for the grille to look right. Hella were the originals, but Ring also supply them.

Update on the bodykit:



What a bloody nightmare

I ended up having to blowtorch my heavy duty scraper I bought till red hot then slap down the rear of the body kit panels to push through the adhesive. All off now and on ebay anyway.

I am glad I did it though as was hiding a multitude of sins:





Luckily non into the sill though. Anyway that's for another thread

She looks better already without the bodykit!

[bmouthboyo]

Can someone advise. Is that line meant to be on the lower panel? Or has this been repaired before?

I thought this panel should have a seem along the top? Not sure how best to replace now.

[kevtherev]

yep thats the sill

[Plasticman]

thats how it was meant to be, I fear you will find much fishing bait behind that lot when you investigate as thoroughly as im sure you will.

Ah I thought the sill was the structural part inside, I guess that's the inner sill?

So given the inside is generally OK and the panel is fine from the sill seam upward:





Do I just need to buy an outer sill? All the guides on here seem to replace with a side panel that has the sill and lower panel in one?



Is it possible to get access the the upper lip to weld if only replacing the sill?

Thanks
