Description

When a front end is too far gone for patch repairs, the job is a front-end rebuild. The kit brings every part together: the front wall panels, a front corner post each side, the front top header, the front bottom rail and a corner casting at each of the four front positions. The front wall panelling is made up to suit the container and confirmed with the quotation.
