• I need a car panel for a project e.g a small car’s bonnet. Make /model irrelevant. Should I ask a local scrap yard for a free one? Or is eBay the way to go?

  • Scrap yard, free?

    Maybe I should start visiting scrap yards again but last time I went they were likely to release the hounds if you mentioned the word free.

  • Try a body shop for one they've replaced?

    @lynx beat me to it

  • I don't suppose you're anywhere near Reading in the royal county? The bodyshop I work at has a skip full of bonnets and doors. I'm sure I could liberate something.
    Alternatively bigger fire stations usually get a donation of scarp cars to practice with "the jaws of life". You might be able to salvage something from them if you ask nicely.
