Wanted old panels to practice welding on (Melb)

Anyone has some shitty old panels? Preferably doors or bonnets because of their flatteness. Don't care if they are rusted or dented
Close to East Kew if possible
Cheers

i got a whole fastie that im stripping in the next coming weeks, we swapped out all the good panels for bad ones, so the shell and bad condition hang on panels will be headed to the scraper

if your interested hit me up as ill be taking most the mech stuff and elec stuff out, front beam and so on

mate go down the scrappies and they will give you some damaged ones for free thats how I learnt to weld them.
the new ones are thinner and harder to do thus making you better:lol:

Go and hit up your local panel shop! They will have heaps that they're throwing out!

Thanks all. I tried the local panelshop but all they have is new panels which are a lot thinner than the older cars
