Hi all,
       I have a 1986 2Ltr Petrol Talbot Express campervan, I've owned it for nearly 2 years now but in that time the the rust has really set in, especially on the bonnet and door sills. We've managed to fill the door sills but the bonnet is beyond repair and needs replacing. I've tried looking for a bonnet to replace it but I've had no luck, so I was wondering if anyone knew if any of the newer model talbots/or other vans are compatible with mine? any help would be much appreciated as I'm really stuck! thanks.
Eira :)

Hi Eira
ebay is the best place to find spares and a new bonnet fetched 99p a couple of weeks ago (you did`nt want to hear that)
The same van is a Fiat ducato/Citroen C25/Peugeot J5 pre 1994.
A great guy for bits is Mike Chubb No1gear 01460 67000 and on ebay there is a seller called "theonlygameintown" who breaks them.
Also join the new club for Talbots here is a link.

I am known as Exharmony as mine was written off a year ago.
