Looking to get the rust that's consuming the panel behind the rear wheel done on my XK8. I'm told there's a ready made panel to do this. I am in South Manchester England. Can anyone recommend someone who could do this?
Struggling to find anyone.
Thanks
Jeff

 

If you can buy the panel then any small backstreet body shop should be able to do it.
A photo would help . You will have to search e bay or go cut one off a scrapper

 

Thanks Pistnbroke,
I hadn't thought of e bay. gonna look now.
Cheers
Jeff

Thanks for the link, looks like he supplies them.

 

You did not tell us what year the car is . Those panels are mad crazy money and if its a 97 probably only worth £3k.
Others have done work like this so send us a photo so we can advise .
Dont spend money you dont need to on old cars.

 

The car is a 2005 4.2s. 50k miles. I'd like to keep it for as long as possible. I'll try and attach a picture of the corrosion.

 

Wow, a 4.2s with only 50k. well worth keeping. piece of history.
Great cars but crap for rust. Been doing tin worm myself.



Where in south Manchester are you, as i'm next to man united. (heard of them).
