We will find out in the end if the rebuild is spoilt.
Tried to buy new original steel ones but the owner of them in England did not send abroad.

why did nt ford fit em in the first place :?:

restoration is to get a vehicle or building back to how it was :!:

they cannot be as strong as welded metal wings,everytime you hit a bump in the road you will have to check the paints not cracked

BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA

this is not a original restoration, It was not original when I bought it and it was rusty.
Have a full fibreglass outer skin on another car and that is done about 13 years ago no cracks at all.
So please find something else to do than talk about these wings.
I did fibreglass because the old wings are full of rust and did not get any new original steel ones because Quote"sending them abroad cant be done without destroying them" maybe those in steel are a bit fragile LOL :lol:

Now on to making a car out of this rusty Transit with its shameful fibreglass wings.
Maybe it would have been better leaving it rusty and modified?
The wings are possible to change later if I find ORIGINAL steel ones.
