Hi I am looking at a 203 it has some bad rust in the front jacking point and rails,the front section where the battery's sit, front floors and the sill's are non existent.
dose any one make replacement panels for the 203,
and also the outer sill covers are stuffed as well.
regards jamie

it's chronic

i don't know if anyone makes any panels, off the top of my head i can't think of anyone

this one depends on how handy you are and how much time you want to throw into it and tools and your disposal
 
You can get replacement sill covers from Hannes Fischer in Germany for about 180Euros each but I'd hate to see the frieght bill. Sounds like it's had the sword mate, unless you are an ace welder with nothing better to do.
I think you have to be sensible about what's worth rebuilding. This one sounds finished. Use it for spares and find another that's better. One will turn up eventually if you keep your eyes open.
 
203

Hi Jamie,
I believe there were fibreglass sill moulds in Melb for sedans years ago but none seems to know where they are now

i have a pair of wagon sills I could loan you to have moulds made from
and a wreck

is the chassis rusted or just jack mounts?

cheers

No I am not a ace welder and no I dont have plenty of time,
but I didnt mention that it is a panel van and I would love a 203 panel van,
and yes I would love to find one with less rust but I dont like my chances.
The other problem I have is some where to put it while I finish my other projects.
It also comes with a rusted out staion wagon as well.
