Hinge Panel

[NHR115]

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on two bonnet hinge panels for my Mk1 Escort?

Have you tried Expressed Steel Panels in Yorkshire ,they have a website with a diagram of your car on it and a list of available panels for it,i've bought most of my panels for the GT from them and they are a very helpfull company Hope this helps

[NHR115]

Yeah I've had a quote from them at £175 but Neil told me to try on here and see if anyone know anywhere else I could get them from. It looks like i'll have to use them then

That seems quite expensive for what appears to be quite a simple panel. Are you deperate to have the exact shape of the original, or would something close do. It could be made

[NHR115]

I'd have to ask my Dad, he's the one doing the car for me

Thanks for your help everyone

No worries Just had another thought,have you tried Hadrian panels,i expect they have a website too.Hope you get a decent result!

bets bet is to find someone with a rotter and have them drilled off...

Oi oi! hows it goin? didnt realise you were on here aswell

Hows the car coming on?

[NHR115]

Didn't realise you were on here either Use this site more than SOSE really. Car is coming along a treat, just need these bleeding hinge panels and we're pretty much sorted.

Hows your car coming along? Saw your Goldie at the Feb SOSE meet but must've missed you.

[SHIFTY]

Hya lol yeah its a good site this need to try come on it more

Yeah havent seen you or your dad in a while.

My car is coming on good thanks although im getting a bit held up waiting on parts just now. Iv got a resto thread on the sose site. Loadsa good pics of the rebuild.

What else have you got to do to the shell apart from the hinge panels?

Alan on the sose has replaced his im sure, think he has some pics too its under ''Stinky Eric''

[NHR115]

I hardly ever go on the SOSE website now but i'll make a point of going on it now and i'l have a wee look at your work.

 

Yeah this site is fab, its like one big happy family on here

 

Once we get these hinge panels and sort out or drivers side wing then the car will be ready for painting. I think the only other thing we need is our seats and thats us ready to go. TBH i dont really know much about the car, i'm just excited about getting her on the road. lol.

If thats the case, is anyone breaking a mk1 escort and would you like to sell me your hinge panels?

Maybe the website is out of date but worth another phone call

[Rick]

thats still ridiculous really.... a good panel maker would make you one from scratch for half that

That's scary expensive. As above, talk to Darran at Escort-Tec. He should be able to sort it for you.
