340 metal front - replacement?

[monka]

can the metal part of the front of 340's be replaced?

not the plastic, or the bumper reinforcment part, but the bottom, the metal part the numper plate sits on?

The vallance?
The bit that's normally made of rust?
Yup. Still available from Hadrian I think.

Can be replaced but has to be fabricated. I had to do this extensively on the white car.

hadrian?

google Hadrian parts. They do pattern panels and whatnot.
But not the one you need it seems.

Those things pop up on eBay every now and then. You can replace just the valance or the whole thing:

yep mines only got a few patches off rust that i can see looks like summet has hit it
so im just gunna cut it out and weld a patch in

[pyro]

ive been looking into them for a bit, and no luck so far, looks like im going to ahve to rebuild it. after ive learnt to weld that is!

hadrian are good, but the suprisingly they dont do repair panels for the weakest rust spot on a 300.

FOTV3 have been looking into these for 18months or so, so always worth talking there. I'd suggest a GRP one tbh, loads of classic cars have replacement GRP parts and it seems hugely sensible to me for the valance.
