There didn't seem to be a lot wrong with the old bodywork to me!

Where does the windscreen go by the way?

Cheers

keeps it all aligned.... nice and neat.

Don't want to be negative but:
What happens if you ding the rear?
It's going to be a nightmare to transport!

Apart from that it's great!

we also sell the rear panel separately incase you have a mishap, of course best bet is not to crash

all bodywork is pre notched from the manufacturer, and the floor pans are fitted by us as standard in the kit so the body transports fitted to the chassis,

Looks up to your usual awesome standards Marc!

So you're manufacturing a windscreen too? Is a demister required for the SVA?

Are the front wishbone holes in the bodywork premarked by the manufacturer?

Ta for any info and can't wait to collect my kit later this year! Just wish I could have ordered it for earlier! Bloody girlfriends dictating what and when I can spend my money on...

Thanks,

Chris.
