            Magnum are releasing new panels regularly.

            What I find interesting they are not always ones that you would think are in high demand..like full floors.

            A full floor is very hard to fit as a repair panel but you would need one for a whole shell. I've never know anyone looking for the rear seat brace (fits to the floor) but you can buy them now from Magnum.

            Must be heading towards panels for a whole shell?

              You all want to pray it never happens as it will kill the values of mk2s

              who would pay big bucks for an old one when you can build a brand new one from a rotten shitter

                    It didnt kill the price of Mustangs or E types etc, a new Mustang shell at $12000 still made restoring one a cheaper option for the enthusiast.

                    As a side effect of new shells it means all of the panels are available.

                    Rotten donor cars will still be needed for parts .....and V5's

                        any influx of shells parts or import cars de-values the car as it makes it easier to reproduce the car tso the more there is the value drops as they are not hard to get anymore

                          Exactly

                          all those dreamers who think there welded up mk2 is worth 30k will be gutted when its worth 3k

                            Wouldnt be a day too soon for me

                            The quicker Escorts get back to "normal" prices the better

                            Once an Escort was seen as a cash cow the scene was forked

                            Cheque book rebuilds - exhorbitant parts prices - owners scared to use their car
