Picked up bodywork
I picked up my bodywork a couple of weeks ago. Really pleased with it and some nice touches like the rebate and tongue on the bonnet to nose cone join. I have left the side panels out because they are all in bubble wrap. Pigment is without flaws , glass work is super neat , everything is trimmed nicely and everything fits.

You might want to tell people where you got it from ;-)
Glad you like the bodywork. I know Dave takes pride in his work!

I have made the second attempt to get my Gillham side panels to fit today, and I have decided to throw them in the skip. I don't see why I have to cut the bottom angle off to get them to sit nicely without the side panel distorting. Well pissed off, while I am at it, I may wang the bonnet as well. 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 !

Hi Jason,
The AGM kit is nicely made, and is nice and thick and well finished. However I've had some issues with my side panels fitting with the returns aswell, it might be chassis tolerance issues and or bodywork issues.

I had the same problem with my Saturn sides. I had to cut the lip off where the chassis changes direction.
Also my first nose one fit perfectly under the bottom rail. My replacement one I had to make some brackets as the bottom lip wouldn't go under the bottom rail.
