Thanks for thinking about my problem Jason.. But I've made up my mind that there's not going to be an easy way around this so I've started making my own repair panel... (will update my own posts)
'68 Sunbeam Rapier fastback {B341006846 OD/LHO} '73 Sunbeam Rapier fastback {AAD 781863 } I like a car that looks normal but really knocks your socks off!!
I think its a bargain at that money and would make a really nice car once its done ive seen alot worse. It cant be that bad as it still has steel wings and there usually first thing to go. Looks a bit on the one corner but if i were looking for one i would be all over this

If it wasn't for the project car I'd reshell it myself with the one I have here but I really can't take on another project, least ways till I've finished this one. Also it's not exactly in my neck of the woods either.
Be a shame to see it broken cos they're getting scarce now. I probably have everything it needs right here to complete it, just don't have the time or space.
If anybody on here fancies a poke at it give me a shout cos I'm willing to work with them to make it happen if it's possible.

I've commented before on this one, the engine bay looks OK; for me it is the interior that lets it down and of course that rust doesn't look too much, but when you get into it I think there will be a lot of rot there: just too much money. G
It's reappeared on ebay at £1475 start price (and probably sale price if only 1 bidder), which is I guess a bit more reasonable considering the spec, but still seemingly a lot for something that needs everything doing.
Was slightly tempted but don't want to take on a project of that size, and I'd think it'd be more suited to someone who already has a load of parts (like a spare bodyshell )
I've seen from the above posts that it probably isn't too good but has anyone seen it recently?
Hi all its the same one sold in auction for £1200.00 the auction is in the same geographical area and the door pics are the same I think somone thought they would make a quick profit and have to do no work on car . No doubt the engine and box will appear on ebay soon iam half tempted to buy shell as I have spare engine and box
