    I have just come across two companies who supply new bodywork panels for older cars -

    e.g. Toyota KE30 Corolla wings and sill panels !


    www.oldpanels.co.uk


    For Ford, BMC and Rootes panels - www.steelpanels.co.uk


    Let me know if you find something you were looking for.

    Regards,
    Silvera.

    Silvera, are you contemplating doing a restoration yourself? A K30 perhaps? :)

    Not at the moment BrianD3, but maybe someday.
    I don't have a workshop for restorations at the mo, will have to wait til I have one ! :)

    It could be a bit of a task to find a 'do-able' K30 in Ireland !

    How about u ? Any old/classic car about the place ?

    ....besides ur Megane that is :D

    Silvera, I certainly wouldn't take on a restoration myself at the moment or in the near future. TBH I have no training whatsoever and I would know feck all about it. I would be completely lost and ill equipped when it comes to bodywork and painting and would only be slightly less lost when it comes to mechanical stuff :) But at least with mechanical stuff I have the Megane to practice on :)

    Will he be attending any car shows with the K30 - would be nice to see a restored example ?

    Is it fairly original otherwise ? ................... I'm not keen on 'souped up' cars:D

    The Beetle's are great cars to work on. I've restored a few in the past. And easy parts availability is always a bonus !

    It's standard otherwise - I might have a pic or 2 I can post up of it from the Classic Car show in Limerick 2 years ago.
