Truly a pity. Hope it works out for you.

Now we will never know the long term results of the cladding work you did, I for one was really interested since mine needs something done and was really interested in your long term results.

Are you going to be able to pull any parts and make them available here? If so, I need of all things, the inside fuse box cover, not sure what happened to mine. Anyway, good luck in finding a replacement.
