I had a lot of bodywork repairs done to my Vitesse some years ago.
Looking at it again February 2007 I think the time is coming up when I may have
to have a second partial rebuild.
Should I get a replacement bulkhead like this as spotted on eBay or get some
local repairs done.
The rust at the base of A post is what concerns me most. The metal is a
complex shape and fabrication takes time and therefore costs money. Also
the post is full of foam - an idea from John Kipping to keep the water
out.

We are planning on doing the whole side of the panel that's missing from the
Fitchet 'complete' floor assembly. So that's the bit front to back, including
body mounts, and the whole of the bit under the A post. Should be up to our guys
usual standards, i.e a complete replica of the Stanpart original. We were
discussing this yesterday and have provisionally agreed a cost price per unit on
it. We even talked about reviving the Vitesse front panel tooling/manufacturing
plans! We are generally happy with the way the Vitesse/Herald panel market is
going at the moment and still think it's worth looking at new stuff for future
production.
