TR2/3/3A QUARTER PANEL, L/H [dogleg] for TR3

Has anyone ever ordered one of these from MOSS or TRF?

QUARTER PANEL, L/H (dogleg) PN#855-730

I ended up taking the bottom 3" off both sides when redoing my inner sills and floors due to rust. The complex curves exceed my abilities to make a patch panel, but I hate to plop down $170 EA if I am going to end up having to repair what they ship to me.

anyone have a donor tub I can hack on?

Thanks,

Greg
 
Aloha Greg,

My son has bought a left and a right dogleg for a TR3A that he is rebuilding. He has not installed them yet, but the seem to be a reasonable fit. The steel is thicker than a beer can.

A few years ago a Toyota pick up crashed into the front of my TR3A and I needed a front left fender and front cowl. The body shop bought the parts from Moss. They were a reasonable fit, but a couple of older gents in the body shop spent several days adjusting the parts to get the very precise fit. The guys took pride in their work and were craftsman. The point of my story is, that bolt together bodies, it will be rare that you will achieve a good fit without some adjustments.
