The wings came out at £180the pair, the price isnt the issue as i spent £275 with the gentleman i am so shocked and chuffed i found a complete genuine front cross member as this was going to be the one bit of the restoration i wasnt looking forward to! And had no luck sourcing one so far

I had a bloke come up to me at a car boot a few months back,I was using the transit to take the stuff in.
He said he had a new front wing for one in his shed.
I asked how much he wanted for it and he said it had to be £10 because it had never been fitted and he lived four hundred yards away.
I went and got it along with a screen and heater unit,all he'd take was a tenner.
I bet nothing like that will happen again for a long long time.

Should consider keeping front crossmember to use as a pattern for remanufacturing new ones,must be a few quid in that
