Not to shore were the shell came form but your probably right
Been doing some work on the dash this week, I got a 6 pod panel from yuckspeed but it didn’t have the lip on it so I put one on.
Don’t think it looks to far out, what do you think?

Almost missed this, the battery tray support on later type 49 cars was moved to the end due to fitting a larger battery.

We have a proper twincam anti roll bar for the mex but that means using proper twincam anti roll bar brackets witch we don’t have , so its out with the dill and the welder to make some
