Title: rusting wings and sills
Post by Davejf27 on Oct 3^rd, 2008, 1:17am

Wondered if you can help, my 1996 12 valve ultima, just been mot'd but will need new arches and new sills, i am really reluctant to get rid of her as the engine is sweet, the interior like new and she runs like a dream, best car ive ever driven. anyone know where i can get the parts as no dealers seem to have them..
i may have to sell her. :-[

Welcome Dave, You sound as if you are just starting out on the long marathon of replacing lumps of your Scorp.... ;D many other people have, and are on this wonderful journey of thrills and spills.

I think the more parts you replace brings you nearer to owning a New Scorp, although "I've jumped off for now" ;D

I would look at the local bodyshop supplies companies where repair shops get supplied from, you'll no doubt find them in Yell or on tinternet.... :)

It probably won't help you depending where you are but I have a pretty decent supplier in Hull where I bought a new front wing, when I spoke to him about supplies he said they could "probably" get most things.

The company I talk about is Bodyshop Supplies, Witham in Hull. Found here:

It would be worth you giving them a ring for info

Hope it helps and happy Scorping....

Pete

Try this company : http://www.beeversautopanels.co.uk/

They list front wings ( £60.75 + VAT each ) for the 94-98 Scorpio and sills ( about £18 each ) & wheelarch repair panels ( about £11 each ) for the Mk3 Granada / Scorpio - panels may not be a perfect fit as supplied but would be a good basis to start from and modify to fit the Scorpio.
Sills at least should be the correct length !

I've bought panels from this company before for other vehicles and found them to be of good quality and fit.

Let us all know how you get on.
