Back Panels required urgently!

I am currently restoring my grandad's old 340 back to mint condition. I acquired the parts in 2003 from my local Volvo dealership (lower back outer, back panel centre, back panel inne, front valance/crossmember) but it has been stuck in a bodyshop awaiting the job they started to be finished. To cut a long story short it is somewhere else now and he is cracking on with it. However I desperately need the 2 panels either side of the centre back panel (parts no's 3267604, 3267605) and they are NLA! Anybody know where I could get them???

There's a back panel on eBay at the moment, advertised as a front panel, should go cheap - but less than 30 minutes to go! Don't know if it's the one you want.
Look

That would be great... it's the panels either side of the centre panel the number plate screws into, they house the rear light clusters

I'm sure Hadrian's range has grown significantly since I last looked - the big one for me - DOOR SKINS! Wooyay!
Having said that, there are still some gaps in the range...and your desired panels appear to be there
How about cutting the panels from a scrap car?
EDIT: How about a sticky for panel availability? I'm sure Stealthstylz posted another panel stockist a few weeks ago.
cheers

Good point, have a look through his posts, time is lacking for me at the moment, and I can't locate where I bookmarked the sites. Hadrian has increased it seems. Another site that I did find only has fuel tanks, sills and arches, sure they had a lot more before though?

He has several good doors yes, and lots of other panels
He's situated in the East Riding Of Yorkshire

Is that a more socially acceptable way of saying "Hull"?
Terry isn't the guy who wants £50 each for 940 headlights on eBay, is he? IIRC, he's out that way.
cheers

He probably is, but he's cheaper on 340 parts cos he knows there is relatively little demand. U should see the car I am getting the back panel off, until he dumped another car on its roof and ruined it it was mint, not even rust on any of the arches

if only I'd got there first

PM me for his number!
P.S by East Riding I mean between Beverley and the East Coast not 'Ull
