Bodywork

Just to let you guys know, i spoke to sue this week and can confirm that the avon bodywork hasnt been amended, it is as per its always been. I hope that I dont have any problems with mine.
Does anyone recomend doing the engine before the bodywork? I thought it might be better to do the bodywork first as It is easier to rivit and drill the bottom edges while its still on the axle stands. Although if the engine goes in first i dont have to worry about scrating the bodywork.

Cheers

Rob

My advice would be do not get the bodywork until you are really ready to fit it.
Ideally it wants to come straight out of the van you brought it home in and onto the car!
You start to get problems when it has been stored for a while and not supported properly, it starts to "relax" This is more of a problem with the Avon as it is one piece.
Don't worry too much, fitting any bodywork is not easy, but I didn't have too much trouble with my Avon.

Any more questions just ask.
