Something I find intresting

How come raidators do not fit in Bugeyes, even if they come out of the car they never fit right going back in. Always a pain to get fited.

Strange but true fact.
 
No idea, Jack. I'll be pulling mine later in the winter, so maybe I'll have some more anecdotal evidence for you.
 
Yup, Mine didn't fit before it was recored, so I had him make an adjustment when he put it back together. It is closer know , but still will require some tweaking. This is an example of why I'm going to build my car, then take it all back apart and do the finish bodywork/paint. There still will be fitment issues, but hopefully less of them.
 
trevor, you read my mind. i am doing the same thing with my sprite. i am virtually rebuilding the car first before it's painted to spare some of the frustration and scratches/damage i would otherwise do if i had to fit something for the first time. It's definitely more time consuming but I find it's well worth it everytime i find something that doesn't fit ... and i find that almost everytime i fit anything.
 
It's simply British engineering chaps!
