If you go to the Links page, there is a company there - Sportscar Metalworks - who make all of those. I am just buying a NEW made spare wheel panel for £250 from him. He makes the panels for a well known Y-parts reseller in East Anglia!

Henry,

I have had my doors re skinned on the outside. Used a company called vintagecars.com based in Lymington Hampshire, UK . They do charge the going hourly rate but did a good repair of my outer door skins which prior to being re skinned were lumpy and bumpy with rust.

The problem with the Y type is there are so few cars that not many panels are made due to economies of scale. However on the other hand even if you purchased panels for a Mustang i too can assure you that the panels too do not fit, so you are better off getting them specially made.

Whilst repair panels are the best option you can do a lot particularly with rusted door bottoms by having them grit blasted and patches brazed in and use contour filer. It's also a lot cheaper.
