MKIV spit body panels or loom - 1972

[Nvo522l]

Hi I'm about to start on a major renovation of my beloved spitfire (have owned him 25 years). I'm wondering if any club members have any of the following factory spec body panels "lying around" they can sell:

 

* rear wings (outer only)

* sills - both sides inner and outer

* bonnet assembly (unlikely but worth an ask)

 

I'm also after a full wiring loom as mine is very crispy and likely to fall apart when it's removed. I'm also told that the front of the chassis drivers side (outrigger) has seen a shunt in the past.

 

My spitfire is finally getting a steel bonnet after living with a fibreglass one while I have owned him. This is the main reason for major body works as it turns out my first restoration led to incorrect alignments of rhs rear wing and sills (fit to line with fibreglass bonnet). I know the parts are available from rimmer bros but we are keen to get as near original as poss for best possible fit.

 

The guys doing my Resto are Datum Motorsport, Halls Green, Herts and they have also looked after my car for the last 4 years (and solved many running issues). I'm also taking the opportunity to return the car back to its factory yellow colour (having been VW Tornado red for many years, just not right!). It's gonna be a long (expensive road) but he's worth it (despite many people telling me it's a waste of money)!

 

Many thanks
