The doors are so bad I am actually having to split them, and re-bond with a slight twist to get them to fit at all.
Mines Jag based, with a Rover V8 and 5 speed box, and seem to be having to solve all the same problems as you guys on the mechanicals! Like getting it all in!!
It is frustrating at times, but I have to say the satisfaction is huge when it come right and something fits! To hell with bubble-packed, do-it-by-numbers kits. We're the real engineers, right?
