Saturn were/are going to produce some ali pannels so may be worth asking spud about progress/pricing.

I'm looking more at the builders in and around the london area to be honest as saturn is a long way from us down here and such parts would be a pain to post!

whats your take Andy(s) got anything in the pipe line for Ali panels?

I guess you need to first clarify which pannels

Sides, Tub, Scuttle, Bonnet?

I would possibly be interested if I could get them to my door. If I can't then I would make them myself from sheet.

I could be interested, depending on price and as enoch said delivery as they won't fit in my car

Not hijacking the thread, but I think it would be cool if we could get the floor and panel behind the seat offered in ali too.

I'm in a similar situation that ali sheet just won't fit in my current car and it would be a lot easier to get it pre-cut.

I'd suggest the the floor panel is offered in 3 bits - 1 for either side and 1 for the tunnel then if people (like me) don't want the tunnel enclosed they don't have to.

So... guys at Saturn or 3GE - what do you reckon???

As has been previously said the only problem with side panels is the delivery of them. If there is enough interest in them say 5-10 people then I could do a local batch run say 50-60 mile radius of me in Essex? Delivery would be all done in one day probably a weekend by me and split the cost over 5-10 sets.
