They sell certain things as repair kits no? Such as wheel arches and the like.

Or are they just standard body parts?

I want to replace my front jacking points as they are in the usual mess on closer inspection and just tidy up that whole area.

I have two new wings to go on as they have rotted away (thanks to the magic of mudguards) and want them bolted to fresh metal.

Anyone know what part number new jacking points are?

Also, what else to do whilst I'm there - foot-wells and scuttle are A1.

Just had a look on realoem and you can't get the panels your after, but they aren't really that hard to fabricate from sheet steel. Take a look through this post.

You should check the inner front arches by the dampers and the battery tray area in the arch

Battery tray is ordered from Zimmerbimmer on here.

The tray itself wasn't that bad but had a 3 inch hole neatly corroded right under the battery.

Must have spilt some crap on there as I poked my finger right through it like it was paper.

You cant buy jacking points sadly. Its just a case of making them.

While you are there check bulkhead, as i guess you have. Also check the place where the front offside brake hose goes into the engine bay - they allways rust here.

I hate rust.

Every time I break a large piece off, I want to take a violent bite out of it and spit it out with a frantic scowl to heighten my disgust.

Just do it you'll feel better
