Hey people's,
Well I am still trying to work our who will paint my van. I need some rust repair done and was wondering the best place to source some strange panels for the clubby van.

I need:
- rear corners of the roof
- the spot on vans that rusts at the back corners at van floor height kinda below the lights and window
- beaver panel

Do you think i will need the find a donor and chop it or can these be fabricated or purchased?

I remember zizzle made his own beaver panel but can not for the life of me find the post.

For those roof pieces probably a donor car. For other panels, try Heritage MG, Sydney or A Grade Panels (Melbourne I think). Otherwise the usual suspects in UK, MiniSpares or MiniSport UK.

thanks for the thoughts. I will have a look at the sites and see what works best.
I am under the impression that clubman van roof corners are different to sedan clubman corners. Do you all agree or am i on crack. This is the first clubbie i have owned. I was a stuck up roundie only man before :)

Pics would be nice briknutz!
