I really should carry a note pad around with me. I was talking to someone the other day about old holden panels. They told me about someone who manufactures replacement panels for FE FC FB & EK holdens. Sorry but I did not get the details I will try and remember who told me and post details when I have them.

The FB/EK ones(sedan and wagon) are similar in some areas. They did not look wonderful and if you require these patches then you must have substantial rust. I normally fabricate my own for these areas. How rusty is yours? can you post a piccy of it? I have one genuine lower section that was unpicked from a wagon... will suit sedan in that area as well. I think it was the left... or right... one of them ..I would have to check. Yours for $50 if you want it. ( definatly was not worth the unpicking effort that was put into it for that price!)

The rust is not bad and you wouldnt know from looking at it outside and it is not urgent.It is in the lower inch of the panel.I thought if I had the panels then i could take it to a panel beater and get them put in.They probably are easy to make,I just thought it would be even easier to buy them. Ques 2 If ek panels are the same,why are FC and EK spats different Cheers Geoff Title: Re: Lower quarter panels Post by: streetneat on April 13, 2004, 07:19:33 PM The panels are similar for rust repairs I was getting at. Depends where on the panel you are reffering .You are right in the fact that the EK has a different wheel arch lip to the FC ...unless you have a commercial which means they are all the same. I stand corrected if you were reffering to the part of the panel nearest the wheel arch on a sedan or wagon for a EK . Having the rust repairs for a Panel beater sometimes helps but if the rust is of a minor nature then fabrication for that immediate area is the better method. I will correct my previous post..
