Hi and welcome!
Well done for saving it from the scrappy! Have you the engine and box ect?
The inner wings/ front panel looks ok, wings are hard to get now but I believe grp ones are available. .. it all depends on what you are after... showcar or daily runner...
What's the reg no?

PRX 599B is the reg just waiting for logbook to come back atm
gearbox is present and have 1300 HC engine line up for it, but i am missing interior bits which slowing picking and wiring loom but getting new anyway, seats i am going for something little different as i prefer headreats
if anyone has any steel wings needing work i dont mind just need shape

Welcome to the Forum - well done for saving from the Scrappy looks like a good starter for restoration. Not known to the Club but will be added to the register when Pete picks it up
As Steve says might take a while to nail some wings but best to put your needs in the "wanted" area.
Always a good idea to join the Club as a full member and get access to the spares scheme - I have attached a membership application form for your consideration with our standard inquiry letter.

Its been in our register since Oct 2011.
Various ads for it for sale in gradually worsening condition.
Hope you get back to roadworthy.

if can find some front wings maybe get roadworthy again its shame got robbed of parts but at least found someone take care of it wonder who has the interior but might customise it , are doorcards still available anywhere ?

Think East Kent Trim Supplies have started to do door cards, but not sure if they do HA ones yet, and they are expensive.
