Hi everyone,

I am working on my 47, the front passenger quarter is in a bit of a mess from crash damage back in the 50s when the original owner hit a lamp post coming back from the pub Smile

Does anyone have some pics of an early front quarter, pre 49 with no shock tower pressings, I am keen to see an undamaged original panel.

I searched the gallery but couldn't find anything.

Thanks
Kevin

PM Mika (Virtanen). He probably has a shot or two of his early split. Also try Marcus Raeke (beetlekey) and ask him.

Why donīt you look it up at your other side?

Well, this is a bit wrinkled as well. But maybe it helps.

Both are early Hebs, but with the small, low front shocks still.

Thanks guys, the left quarter of my car is also a bit beaten and has been gas welded down the seam with the spare wheel well rear panel and is now flat so I wasn't sure if the pronounced lip was also present on the early cars. This panel is from a 51...

I think the pics from Carsten show the early panel does not have this pressing.

Perfect thank you.

You can see a line on your panel where it meets the inner spare wheel well rear panel but it's not deeply pronounced like the later 51 panel.
