body panel remanufacturing

[cobbler2u]

With a geat deal more people restoring their car. They are findind it difficult to sourse the panels they need. As most motor factors dont do bmw e21 panels, or if they do its very limited.

Why not bmw car club or the forum as a group get these panels made up.
That way we can keep our cars on the road.
Just a sugestion as im finding out for myself that this time round restoring an e212 is getting very hard to get panels

Bought a front wing for about 70 quid from them. Not as thick as original parts but was a decent fit

main dealer
a bit pricey tho

[redline]

yes, that was the first place i check, at US$1,500+ is a little more then pricy!!!!!!!!!!

Especially considering the fact that OEM chromework has gone down in quality big time, but prices have only gone up. The cheaper surrogates, if still available, may be better quality than oem at this point. Very sad conclusion!

I just had a 2 and 1/2 hour meeting with my workshop manager and the body/paint ops manager going over my car........the paint and body work is going take at least 6 months...........looks like i will not be getting my car back on to the read any time soon..........sigh.......
