Hey mate i suggest you head to your local glenfords or hare & forbes and purchase one of these drill bits you'll need one to drill out the spot welds that hold the panel in place from factory then hit the wreckers for another support panel and remove & replace it's a prick of a job but you'll get there :armsup:
