What about the inner(15) and outer(35) A-posts, lower rear inner wings(10),
outer rear wings(90), decking panel(S/H), boot gutters(S/H), light panel(75),
rear valance(30), windscreen surround(S/H), bulkhead(hmmmm), floors(55),
not to mention the bonnet(500)!!!!
Approx = 15x2 + 35x2 + 10x2 + 90x2 + 75 + 30 + 2x55 = 515 quid!!!!
+ Bonnet = 1015 quid!!!! Now that is a lot of pints, I mean English Pints, NOT
that Budweiser stuff!!!! :-) Only kidding!

Hmmm, Have you EVER fitted a plate to a floor pan with seam sealer instead of a
welder???? have you ever secured a coil into a clamp that is too big by using
an old Morris Minor axle u-bolt???? Or ever filled the front wheel arches of a
Spitfire with News of the World newspaper and filler/gobbo/bondo/etc???? Guess
who has??
