Massive thanks to ‘True-Blue’ for tipping me off about a PY Convertible being broken not too far from me.True-Blue wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2024 10:45 pm There’s a phoenix yellow E85 (I think) being broken on FB - might get a front wing and door possibly.

I’ve bought both front wings, both doors, minus glass and inserts, both sill covers and the front bumper!!! I’m collecting them all tomorrow morning.
This is making me very happy, I just hope the colours are pretty similar.
This forum is the absolute business!!!

And, of course, that the panels are good.

No progress as such today, but an unexpected bit of good fortune in that someone local to me (The Zed Shed) was breaking a PY convertible. A few what’s app messages later and I’ve agreed a price on this lot!
Two wings, two sill covers, two doors, and a front bumper! I just hope the colour match is ok.

Hello folks.
No work on the car today, but I have secured a load of spare body panels for it.
Here is a link to the video on YouTube.
Next job will be bumper off, headlights out and swapping the ballast to see if that’s at fault.
Then swap the wings over and think about booking an MoT!
Thanks for looking.

At (bal)-last I’think ive got to the root cause of why the drivers headlight wasn’t working. The ballast box was very crusty, so a new item will be ordered. The passenger headlight which I thought was dry was actually full of water, so both lights will be having an extended stay in the airing cupboard whilst I wait for the new ballast.
I’ve collected two new rear covered for the lights so will fit them when I refit everything.
Whilst the number is off, I’ll swap out the old N/S wing and fit the new items, or I might wait, ow decided yet.
I have (well the car has) also developed a small oil leak following the oil change, so this will also need looking into.
I’ll fun stuff, even though I’ve stuffed my back, however moving seems better than being sat on my backside.
Anyway, here is another TouTube link if you’re interested. I’m genuinely surprised that I’ve got 10 followers! So thank you to whoever they are!!??

Did you get two sets of panels in the end? I saw the one that was linked to you in Facebook just before the crusher and you mentioned the Zed Shed (or were they the same ?)

I got the front bumper, 2 wings, 2 doors and two sill covers. Managed to get it all into the boot of my Volvo!
All was all from Zed Shed.
