Replacement panels.

[makemeanoffer22]

My Flavia PN Coupe has some corrosion to the lower rear panels just behind the rear wheels ( probably fairly typical ) luckily the rest of the car is good so keen to keep it that way and looking to tackle repairing these area's. Does anybody know if these panels or part panels are manufactured by anybody, would be much easier than trying to form ?. Grateful for any suggestions.

There doesn't seem to be anyon making panels, not that I could find within Europe anyway aside from in Italy that has floor and sill panels. I will have to just make to suit when the time comes, which I suspect will be your only choice I'm afraid.

Thanks Kevin, it was wishful thinking but worth asking the question.

Yes, I hear you.
I too wished there was at least someone making panels but alas no. There was someone a while back apparently but that didn't work out.
It's worth joining the Flavia consortium, Colin and the guys have been most helpful. I know there has been an approach to a UK guy who mostly does Fulvia panels but as far as I know nothing concrete yet. The trouble is the cost of making templates and designs before even making a ready to use panel makes the task prohibitively expensive for a commercial enterprise to undertake for what would be a very small number of potential sales, so we're left with just making pieces as we need.
Having said all that it is worth contacting/joining the consortium as I know they have some used, but useable sections of bodywork taken from scrapped cars many years ago so they might have a better piece, worth asking...

Hi Kevin, yes the Flavia consortium is well worth joining and have been a member for a couple of years .
