Hi all,
Long time no speak with many of you. Lot's has happened with the Yella Fella over the last few years, probably take me a good week to sit and write up a full update on my thread which I will get around to at some point!
In the fun stage of gathering parts and prices for what Dad always wanted to do all those years ago when the build started - FRP conversion at last. Will be having the shell blasted and treated with all fab work and paint carried out by the team at Brewster Motors here in Essex.
Onto the real reason for starting this topic; the inner sills. I've just today been in touch with Expressed Steel Panels to enquire about replacement inner sills. I'd seen on an old thread (https://www.projectpuma.com/viewtopic.php?p=372977#p372977) that XAF has sent a set of inner sills to them to be remade. I was informed that the full inners would be made first, before any 'repair' panels / sections made so I have put my name down as an order for these full length inners. Given a lead time of 12 months - wooooo...
FRP rear quarter panels are a current lead time of around 6-7 months so will get on and order those in a few months time. Full length outer sills are currently around 7-8 weeks so will leave that till nearer the time to accumulate.
No deposit needed for an order of inner sills, so if anyone out there is looking to replace theirs I would advise calling and putting your name down to register some interest and hopefully we can get the ball rolling a bit quicker on things!
Thanks,
Dan
