Hi Frank - you certainly are not lacking in confidence.....a good thing
but unless you know how to use the welding equipment i fear you may be in
for a little frustration -
There will doubtless be a considerable dichotomy of opinion on this and
many of the listers are "super whizz bang" at this sort of thing.....
then there are the rest of us...
You can buy all the replacement panels you need from Moss, VB or
whomsoever (though youll get a better price from the resellers on the
list) and Porters book gives a good overview of the procedure but as to
putting them in, I would seriously consider getting it done
professionally unless, as i said, you are already adept at welding.
I signed up for a course in it myself - starts in August....
