That was quick. So progress with the head, new valve guides and valves, and new springs. The head has a great system for the spring caps. Can be installed with your fingers.

Yes, if you tack it to the rear edge of the door, so it will give you the place to fit the doors to test fit! Trust me, time spent fitting and adjusting and re test fitting will pay dividends in the end when your doors will fit and the gaps are good! ;)

You have to brace it with the doors still attached! 1) so you keep the correct gaps, and 2) so you can remove and re fit as you are testing the fit of the panels. Needs to be securely attached. Even a gt6 body can move! I did mine in a cross section, so that I have room to move around the sill area as I weld.

I would brace it, and leave it on the chassis (see my spit resto threads) and repair the body. Then remove it from the chassis for the rest of the work. Some remove them and do the body, but you run the risk of it being all out of line. Get hold of lots of mole grips, take off the panels (one side ate time) offer up the new ones, clamp in place (or tack weld) then test fit the door to check. It's better to take more time doing this, as the end result will be worth it! :)

Or, you could come and visit us for some Belgium beer and chocolate and then seeing as your heading back to blighty could take the box back with you! ;) ;) I will see if my other friend who often visits Belgium, when he is over next, could get him to take it to uk (he is in grays, , Essex)

Mmmm give me give me! ;) That's what I want on my mk3 spit! They just look so right on the early ones, and I agree with clive, they don't look right on the later models. You should be able to buy them, fit them and try them, if you don't like them then you will get your money back. But I think you'l like the look of them. As long as you can get them for a good deal. Cheers
