Ye I know what you mean with the body work, mine needs new sills but that's a job for winter I think now with it passing its MOT.
Sorry but can't help with any of them but I'll keep an eye out for you for sure

quick update as this is a rather exciting stage. Some paint going on! Well, high build epoxy primer anyway:







that'll then get flatted back.

Time for another update, the last couple of months have involved lots of priming, flatting, smoothing etc... to get it ready for paint.

Doesn't make for the most exciting photos but here they are anyway....



















So now it's pretty much ready for paint, the next update I post, it should be red again and very shiny.

stone chip applied to inner wing and sills. Just waiting for the paint sprayer to be able to fit it in now, should be sometime in december.
