[minidream94]

HAHAHAHA lol fair enough, Who sells them then?

M-Machine do the window panels - I've got one to do one mine (for the second time ) along with a complete lower rear quarter.

M-Machine are a godsend to those of us that insist on sorting non round-nose saloons out!

love it

i loved it the second i sat in it lol and how much are they from m mart as there 21 from Huddersfield

[jayare]

Latest catalogue I have has them at £12.60 +VAT and they offer TMF+ discount off that too. Huddersfield will most likely have bought them from M-Machine anyway as that's who makes them!

ohhh i see lol its prob me being stupid but i cant seem to find it on there website could you get the page up for me many thanks danny

[jayare]

The prices are in the pdf catalogue - there's a link on the home page towards the right hand side or copy/paste the following: http://www.m-machine...rts Cat doc.pdf and it will download. If you're not sure on any part, phone them up - the lady who normally answers is really helpful and knows all their products! Not the best website, but that's often the case with some of the more old-school specialists.

If you poke you will find - its a resto project mini!!

Keep the faith chop it out and weld it up.

Floor pans over old ones was the way they were repaired in days gone by. It is the difference between a restoration and a repair.!!
