Default New car to me with issues. Help appreciated

Hi all

It's been a while since I've owned an Impreza. Had a 3dr V5 type r.

anyway picked up a project Blobeye STI last night.

It's a WRX but has a full STI engine conversion with loom,ecu etc for AVCS heads.

anyway car runs fantastic.

has a full 3 inch system and a crappy Bailey BOV.

anyway had the grill off it today and spotted the panel the rad pack sits on is rotten. Very badly.

checked the cross member and subframe and that's all OK.

where would I get a replacement?

next issue is drivers side xenon light doesn't work. Checked the fuse and it's blown. Stuck a new fuse in and it blew is straight away.

My wiring skills are terrible. In hindsight I should of checked when I bought it. Just assumed it would be a bulb.

so what I need help with.

where to source a new/2nd hand lower panel?
what do do with my drivers light blowing fuses. I should say the side light, indicator work on the light.
where to get the silicon hose from under the intercooler to the turbo as it's split.
