The panels section covers the individual body panels, chassis sections, and repair panels needed for localised corrosion repair. These range from complete bolt-on outer panels to small repair sections for targeted restoration without replacing an entire structural member. The panels are organised into three categories: outer body panels, chassis sections, and repair sections.
Outer Body Panels
Front wings are available in three styles matching the body eras: square wheel arch (1967 to 1971 chrome-bumper Midgets, including the 1970 to 1971 GAN5 facelift cars), round wheel arch (1972 to 1974 chrome-bumper Midgets, GAN5-105501 onwards from January 1972), and rubber bumper (1500 GAN6, 1974 to 1979). Each is a bolt-on panel secured to the body by screws, nuts, and caged nuts. Wing fitting kits containing all the fixings needed for a single wing are available for each wing style, saving the task of sourcing individual fasteners. Rear wings are welded panels that also differ between the same body eras.
Outer sills are available in three specifications: single jacking point with no badge holes (early Mk3 GAN4, pre-1970), single jacking point with MIDGET badge holes (later chrome-bumper, 1970 to 1974 GAN5), and twin jacking points with MIDGET badge holes (1500 GAN6 rubber-bumper, 1974 to 1979). Rear valance panels complete the outer panel range.
Chassis Sections
Inner sills (the structural members beneath the outer sills), sill closing panels (front and rear), spring mounting repair sections, front chassis leg repairs, the complete front chassis frame assembly, and jacking point repair sections are the structural components that carry the car's loads. Corrosion in these areas is not cosmetic, it affects the body's rigidity, handling characteristics, and crash safety. All chassis sections are handed left and right and must be specified accordingly when ordering.
Repair Sections
Floor pan repairs (left and right), door bottom repair panels, rear wheel arch inner and outer repairs, boot floor assemblies, boot floor corner repairs, luggage floor sections, A-post base repairs, and chassis members from wheel arch to boot floor allow targeted corrosion repair without replacing an entire panel. The rear wheel arch is one of the Midget's most corrosion-prone areas, mud trapped between the arch liner and the panel attacks the steel in a hidden location that is often not discovered until the outer skin is perforated. When welding any repair section, the fit should be checked carefully before any welding begins, a repair section that is forced into position will pull the surrounding metalwork out of alignment when the weld cools and contracts.
