|
|
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
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. |
