Each to there own, TBH been after Simonsen GRP shells and they are just too much money, these with a little upholstery fettling will do the job and a 5th of the price too....

Re: Newbie, Fiat TC & Volumex HFO 501 NEW BUILD 2018
Update:
Broke the bug, front beam snapped (after driving back late from Yeovil in the rain, BANG, pulled across road and veered towards central island, thankfully counter swerved into Haynes motor museum, and saved by the local security), replaced all now, including lowered spindles with new Limebug beam, very nice, have front disc brakes now too (still want to upgrade to Porsche 944 hubs and disc with Boxster calipers), still need bedding and bleeding, but at least it stops!
some images of bug update:
Interior new seats, door and rear cards, finished front end horns/spot lights etc. and new wing mirror, might make a new rear view mirror too.
Moggy is now in center of shop again, as i build the front end, cleared a load of parts, some still left, body parts and a set of steel wheels still to go, will list later.

more images, also, 1600 blueprinted mock up, Hoover case modification, head work, 3angle valve cut and valve dress, port match and polish exhaust, drill tapped oil for full flow, modified rockers arms, and Hoover mod to arms/rockers and oil ways, the new 3D printed stack should work a treat, the internals are the same as golf ball exterior surface!
