Perhaps a saturn cutting template could be made up

Thanks guys, Andy any pictures you have would be very useful. The diagram in the book is no good as the saturn side panels have a 90 degree return rather than a slight bend. Appreciate the input, seems like everyone agrees that cutting teh individual holes is the way to go

Thats the best plan TT, i've been aiming to get that done for a while just never got round to it. This maybe the kick up the butt required....

Thanks.......AndyH

Best and all that,
Enoch

I had a look thru all my build pics but the photos I do have of the side panel fitting don,t show enough detail of the front section ( wheel in the way etc),
so i,ll take some pics today without the wheel on & should hopefully give a more helpful photo, will post up later today.

cheers
andy

As promised, here,s a couple of pics of my side panel where it meets the nose,
please excuse the gap between the bonnet & side panel( haven,t got my bonnet catches yet), I still need to put edge trim around the cut outs for the suspension holes & grommet where the brake line passes thru the side panel.
And for the very observant of you....yes I,m aware that my track rod end isn,t tightened up yet

Hope the pics help.
cheers
andy

Thanks Andy, that helps me greatly. Glad to see you set the date on your camera
I might get round to doing the same with mine one day
I'm still not sure which way to go, The holes have to be pretty big and I am still thinking they may look better left open. I will make up some cardboard pieces and see which I prefer.
Best and all that,
Enoch
