I’ve not dealt with them. Mixed reviews as ever…..

Had a look at their website and it appears a lot of stuff is nil stock - a phone call might be in order ???

I did check with walkers he doesn't do them , does the sheet metal part that bolts to the firewall.

Panel beater is going to repair the ones of the original k frame and fit them to the new k frame.

Got all the front end stripped Saturday now to blast paint and make new .

Those engine mounts are set high. Or are mine just low?

[Errol62]

It looks like they have been raised up with patches welded underneath. Good for sump clearence to draglink with an EH sump red six but otherwise potentially problematic either way driveline angle and firewall/tunnel clearance.

Was on the road for 10 years as a daily running that front end and red motor never had any issues

Always interested to see what others have done with their mods

[Sneezy1211]

Rust repairs are finished and bodywork for paint is under way .

Had a delay waiting on panels from Thomson's but he got it sorted .

Looking forward to seeing some colour in the next week or two .

Cheers mate , pretty lucky the panel beater works from home fulltime and only takes on one job at a time . He has done a cracking job super happy.

Can't wait to see what the cottesloe cream looks like haven't really found many that colour to go off seems a bit rare .
