Ah, unfortunately, the engine lid was totally decimated by the accident and had some sort of wasp or hornet's nest in it so the previous owner did not take it with the car.

The car did come with a decent straight corner/quarter panel.
I'll let you know if I find any engine lids, but I'm looking for one too. :wink:

Tell me about it, everybody who gets in touch with me about one usually has one in worse shape than mine. I am thinking about acid dipping mine and just welding in replacement sheet metal in the bad areas.

Doug, fixing your existing lid may be the ticket...I bet I can find one, but it will almost certainly be rusty!

P.S. another pic of the car from the PO.
