Jordan:
I just replaced all the body panels on my TR6. Using Heritage panels,
the body guy still had a lot of fitting to do (I did most of it myself,
then gave up in frustration). I used a body shop that specializes in
restoring Healeys, so he knew what to expect with British cars.
I got my panels from TRF through a local agent. However, I assume MOSS,
etc. all sell from the same source. It's best if you can actually pick
out the panels yourself, and have some choice as to which trunk lid or
lower valance you get, as individual pieces can vary in quality and
condition. I also believe it is difficult to return body panels to the
seller, as they get what Heritage can supply, and you are expected to
work with what you receive from them.
However, it's better than having no panels at all, and generally, the
quality is very good. They are much better than some body panels
produced for North American cars.
I'm sure you will get more advice on this.
Good luck.
