Thanks for all the replies guys. This has made me feel better about keeping her! Thanks to Andy for those pics. I think its time i did some stripping down to investigate exactly what i need to buy!

Hi all, after some assistance and advice. I've had a D1 for around five years and have slowly been turning it into my perfect Greenlaner. When I bought it it had a rotten boot floor (standard lol) so i spent some time replacing the boot floor, rear boot side panels and repairs to the rear sills and rear wheel arches. I have also spent more money than I care to think about on other repairs, Turbo, alternator, radiator recore, intercooler, lift pump, rear axle rebuild, rear callipers, front callipers, brake pipes the list goes on....... However the front inner wings, wheel arches and battery tray are now very rotten and they need to be attended to. I have considered selling it but she really is part of the family and I love her, just cannot part with her. I have read lots about Easy-On Panels and YRM panels and I know that Easy-On can be bolted on, however i think that the bulkhead / front footwell on at least one side will need repairs do i would prefer new panels to be welded on. I no longer have the access to the unit and welding equipment i used to. Any work will far outweigh the vehicles value but then if i sell it i won't recoup what i have spent on it this far. So am i mad to want to plough more money into her? Does any one have any recommendations for bodyshops in or around Essex that would take this on? Thanks in advance guys
