So, €250 lighter....a guy nearby who breaks these cars had an ad on fbook for this: Straight and rust free, no signs of any repairs. Test fitted the doors after measuring the openings which were slightly out. The passenger door is 100%, a combination of worn hinge and possible movement on the driver's side means it bangs off the striker but can be lifted closed. Worth noting that there is still a large hole in the driver's footwell and outrigger not fitted. When closed the roof is slightly proud of the door (I'll have to recheck that it's the roof that's proud ) Conclusion: the shell needs to be fixed down straight and true so that my repairs from here on don't leave it twisted Set the wing on for inspiration lol
Found this: And this: After previous financial outlay, the chassis frame with have to wait a week or two, ho-hum!
Great stuff. You are doing a proper job there. It's better to let things stew for a while and be sure, than tear on and regret at leisure. It supposed to be fun but the hard bits give a lot more satisfaction when you've cracked it. Thats my excuse anyway.
Remember this is a project. And possible investment. Well done on finding a leg though. Now with measurements would want to drop check the shell.
... won't be back on this for a while... Very basic braces for door openings, offside door closes better with this one fitted...
