off the top of me head wings, front pannel, slam pannel , flitch pannel under the screen, bonnet grill lights ect, :cheers: doors wil be a problem i think the yare a different shap to the side of a P100 so the B piller beeds shape changing.

as above as long as its a series 1 (Y,A,B reg P100) easyest way to do b pillar is to use frt 6 inch of a mk3 rear door skin.

yes im doing it, its easy, wings, upper and lower front panels and bonnet, i dont put the slam panel on as i like to use bonnet pins and the screen panel beats into shape, im using the original doors and making dummy air vents from mk3 doors to blend in, the rad support panel is different and needs cutting and shaping to fit the mk3 front panel

 

the original pile
