Welcome Daz

Good potential there

Panels are expensive, but you only need to pay once. Try Chris at WASP .. he`ll do you a good deal and sorts all the shipping and tax etc

Welcome to the club mate.... Tons of guys on here that know chargers inside out!! If you need loads of body panels might be worth considering the next container shipment that comes up on here every few months. Buy the bits, get them delivered to the container and then pay your part of the shipping etc... Ive never done it but I know a few do and can advise you more.

Worth spending a bit of time trawling the stickys to get a feel for a few jobs that are commonly tackled and just ask on the various forums.... So much knowledge and help on here you will get on fine! If it hasnt been done by someone on here it isnt worth doing! Its also worth getting stuck into reading the more technical/ race stuff posted by the likes of Pete, Lez, Mick, Ade etc etc. Most of it goes over my head but it gets you into the habit of learning and looking at stuff logically etc...

Good luck and keep the photos coming! Maybe start a resto thread ghat you can update as you progress??

Cheers Steve

Welcome!

I've just ordered a couple of repair panels from Rockauto, they're in the trader section on here. We get a 5% discount!

Hi Darren, welcome!

To expand on Steve's suggestion of a container.... you could contact STS Imports - Ron Fenton is a member here (username - ronfenton)..... keep an eye out for his threads like this http://www.moparuk.com/forums/viewtopic ... highlight=

As long as you can wait the extra time a container takes to get here (by sea - compared to air freight), in my experience, the benefit is the reduced cost of shipping of large bulky items, like body panels. You still have to pay the tax (20%) & duty (3.5%) on the dollar price of the parts, including any shipping to the depot in Florida, but most times you'll make a saving over what the seller would charge.
Certainly worth giving Ron a call for a quote, as one of your options.

hello sir

welcome

stick some lights in MOT work and leave it as its is

gotta drive it first for a while to appreicate where you money goes when you do eventually start to restore... helps you to formulate a plan of action

otheriwise its just something you learn to hate when things don't go to plan...build that relationship with ya new motor.

having stripped down a number of Motor scooters in the past with no previous riding of the actual bike i can say its really hard to get motivated to put em back together, at the time they were worth more in parts...now not the case, but it hasn't been enough for me to get out there and fix them they just take up half my bloody garage.
