cheers speedle
i've now order'd my new slam panel, should be here in the next day or so, and it only cost £36.98 and thats with the p&p too.
then its off to my mates garage, with his mig welder, to fit it and sort out my head lights 
might think about getting some blue blubs for the side lights or is that a bit sad
thats prob my next job once i've sort'd out the slam panel.
cheers dude, its an old car, but i love it
