Not the best of photos, but the car is back from the bodyshop with two perfect bumpers, and treated, painted and protected brackets.

If local to anyone, I can highly recommend Kieran at Harpenden Classic and Performance Bodyshop. I’ve been using him for years and he’s fantastic.

I don’t have any other photos but apparently the rest looked ok. Generally, I’ve a feeling this car doesn’t age as gracefully as the German stuff!

They have weak points, that rear end which you've looked at, the arches, around the tank..

I undersealed mine at JR classics years ago but it has been a daily so seen plenty of salt
