As i have had so much advice on to replace the crossmember, i have decided that your all right and im going ahead with it. The crossmember its self is only £35 for a brand new replacement, it wont take much to remove old one and plus then nothing else will need doing in the bay im definatly going ahead with it.Quote:

Nice progress mate, I cant belive how clean this shell is! I knew i should have bought it! lol!

Right as i decided to replace the cross-member aswell, i ordered one online over the weekend but on the monday they rang me up saying they had none in stock and were not getting any more in.
They offered me the lower panel already attatched to the cross-member at extra cost of £25!!! when i told them i already have the lower panel bought from them and could i return it and get a refund? They said no as it had been to long and so i couldent return the panel!!!
I went to hadrian panels and Beaver panels they both didnt have the panel in stock and didnt no when they were getting more in so i was very frustrated.
I ended up going back to the original company (carz2.com) and ordered the lower panel including cross-member, so now i have a lower panel for sale (BN £15) lol
Not much progress as been very busy past few weeks, have started sanding bay down im doing whole bay back to bare metal. will get some progress pics up next week.
Here is the new panel anyway.
