Where did you get your lower bulkhead repair panel from?

It's a classic fab one from the Netherlands but was the last one in stock. It's about 2-3 month wait on back order I was told. Try the other classic fab suppliers who may have one in stock.

Thanks guys. Feels like I'm finally making progress. Spent another day on the bus grinding the welds and fetling the bulkhead panel to make it fit. I'm trying to keep as much OG metal as possible. So only replacing as much as I need too with new panels.

A bit more progress.
B posts are more rotten than I had hoped so need higher repairs.

Auto craft are fantastic panels and great customer service. Can't recommend them enough. However they don't currently produce a long side B post inner or finishing panel. So ordered from Funky Green in Holland. Delayed further progress on the fitting of the long outer sill and rear arch.
Forum won't let me upload further pics at moment as says I've reached my daily quota!
Will post when issue resolved.
