Is there a market for used clamshells

[Kevin Pullen]

Don’t want to start a which is better thread

Reason for asking I’ve gone down the cycle wing route and have 2 in the garage, but currently have a skip on the drive that’s going tomorrow with a little but of room in it

What colour? Any cracks, chips, spiders? Is there a difference between narrow and wide body clam shells?

[Gary Taylor]

Always a market for proper wings  but a lot depends on condition and getting them transported around the country ( first weekend in May I’m travelling from n/e Scotland to Heathrow and back, now if they’re white.....)

sorry, no they are the same wether on a narrow or wide body , if painting I use etch primer and 2 pack paint and then rubberised stone chip underneath

Now that’s just plain nasty I traveled the length of the country to pick mine up from Geoffrey and love them to bits

They are BRG in used condition a few marks not trying to sell gauging if it’s worth it

Maybe, especially if you have the wing support stays as well as the clamshells and someone is considering a set for a project car.

They are no longer available from Westfield (except in white) so there's definitely going to be a growing market for them, especially if the fibre glass isn't cracked / good condition.

Westfield are only doing the standard body in white now and doubled the price of it. They do them white because white hides a lot of sins. Seems to me Westfield are dropping the low sales items and looking a profit figures.
