Boot floor side Panels - DIY?
« on: November 21, 2007, 19:00:02 »
Hello everyone, I know ALOT of people (most disco owners) have done their boot floor, my question is:

I need to replace most of the side panels, has anyone just plated these up or manufactured their own, I know I may sound like a skin flint but at £35+vat each, I feel they add alot to the overall bill for the repairs.

any response appreciated

really more of a quaestion of the time/tools you have available... personally i`d go for the pre-made ones, you know they should go straight in then... more time to do a better ob of the rest!

Yep, made my own sections and repaired then, and my own floor!
