Old body panel

I have a quick question. Working on the numerous sheetmetal issues with my car and I am starting to put together a large order for all the panels I need to complete my project. In the process, I am looking through some of the old repair panels I have had laying around for 35 or more years and wanted to know if this particular one is useful.

Don't know who the manufacturer was but it has these labels inside in case it helps to identify it...

I just want to know if it is worth using this or if it is better to use a new "authentic" panel of some sort?

I know it is for a later car and I am working on a mk1 but I was planning to seam it near the door aperture.

Thoughts?

Erik Veng, one of the better aftermarket panel producers in the 70/80s.

I remember Veng being known as one of the better panels back in the 80's...

OK thank you. I guess it makes sense to move forward with it then...

I use late heritage quarters on all the cars, regardless of year.

Back in the day if there was a choice i used always pick Veng

Harian the other main choice off the day used to be either a very good fit or a very poor fit there was never any middle ground
