I appreciate that they make repair panels and they are none genuine so may need a little tweaking, but 1" too long at one side and 1/4" too short at the other is taking the piss. *angry*

Avoid them...

M-machine all the way! Just wish they were closer as postage is a killer!

How come you didn't use M-machine Andy? They're quite local to you aren't they?

Was the rear half of boot floor panel. Just finished welding a section to the drivers side where it meets the arch.

M Machine are in Darlington so probably 100 miles or so.

I got it from Minispares North with a load of other panels. Easy enough to get to from work...

I have a magnum and a hadrain rear quarter to go on. The hadrian looks better when they are side by side. The magnum will probably end up thrown on the scrap pile...

I know this is old, sorry bout resurecting it.
Though it was me at first with magnum panels, my scuttle end repair was rubbish gonna do the full panel now.
Looking at prices the mini machine stuff seems as expensive as the BMH stuff??
Does anyone think the hadrian stuff is any good lateley or are there any other places/companies doing this sort of thing?

Right where do i start!

The M-machine stuff is better than the heritage in my opinion.

My front panel came from M-machine but I believe they used a hadrian panel and reworked that to suit my year (early mk1). Fitted perfectly though.

m-machine panels have always commanded a premium. Keith had his van shell restored by them back in the 90's and got a tour of the workshops at the time; they were using original tooling if I recall, explaining the quality of fit.

you get what you pay for. I recall a local garage in Glasgow that charged more to supply and fit a 'copy' front end over and above a genuine Rover set of panels simply because it took so much longer to get it all fitting correctly
