One of the last pieces of the puzzle- a Vauxhall Cresta scuttle panel will be grafted in to modify the only stock panel left on the car
There wasn’t a crank under that Vauxhall scuttle panel was there?
…asking for a friend
Cheers,

i knew a guy years ago that had a mental grey had all sorts of sh!t from other engines in it, i'll ask if he happens to still have it he's a hoarder but sells stuff and unless it's sold quite possibly still does have it, whether he can get to it if he does though is another completely different story

All good - I really don't need another crank. I reckon by the time you found one, and someone who knew how to machine it then the costs would not be that much less than either a well-girdled standard one.
Cheers,

Yep,
Thats how to do custom body work.
Looks different but why ? Most people will look hard at that one.
Your metal worker is a legend.
