It's the door pillars you're going to have trouble finding, floors are available here and there, as are sills. I got rid of my spare sills, can't remember where now though. Apparently the 2cvgb Ruskington unit has an ami6 saloon bootlid. Bonnets are easy enough to come by, the rest of it you'll have to find either on leboncoin, eBay.fr, the Dutch ami club (really helpful) and going to big meetings in France. There's usually a guy selling NOS panels, where he gets them from I do not know, but I had a complete ami boot floor and spare wheel we'll from him and a new bumper. I think Mike, who bought my last ami had that off me.

Once again I am plesantly surprised by the amount of stuff that is available, The Pillars dont look that bad to fab up to me at least the outers, as long as I measure carefully, the top hinge pods look reusable and that looks to be the worst bit to make..

I have slightly more tools than these guys, but the method would be similar :lol:

Open air , Cardboard, snips and a selection of hammers, wollies, clamps and lumps of wood.
I wont be making Sills, pans or Body panels, though cos thats a bit silly If I can get them.

You never know that 8 might have good pillars to give. The scuttle ends looked pretty good to me ,so I am crossing my fingers.

If there is Ami Panels, Looks like I will be Joining GB after all in that case.

Thanks for the leads Fella.

Oooh If ever I heard the words of a bitter VW Owner... :lol: :lol: :lol:
That reminds me i have a tired bay window roofrack on my junkpile,and a knackers wheelbarrow, I will leave it out for the Pikeys and see if it ends up on a VW roof instead.

I like a good rat , I just dont get the roofrack Buckaroo thing they do.
