The panels are not made thick enough in my opinion, they flex very very easy. Really peed off, but after getting the build looking really nice, I don't want to spoil it by putting sub standard stuff on my car. Wish that I payed a little more & got an agm kit, the quality looks amazing on Chris' car. There is a company down Plymouth direction that sell healey 3000 replica moulds that fit the haynes roadster with the use of out riggers. I love the look of it, and may make a u turn & change direction. Wish that I hadn't wasted a load of cash on sub standard stuff. On the upside, my gaz coilovers from Rally Design will be here tomorrow, amazing service, cheap as chips !  |
I'm not sure how good or bad the Gillam stuff is but I think unfortunately with a hand built chassis and hand built moulds there are always going to be issues. Especially with a seven type car. It's difficult to accept when so much effort has been exhausted but you have to remind yourself that you're building a car to drive, not a "show 'n' shine" type thing.
