nice pics with nice cars

The painter did a great job and the stickers are spot on - not too many and carefully placed. Thumbs up

Why is that the wrong shell?

There should be two additional tear drops on the top for clearance of those 2 screws your seeing

[ralphee]

Is it me, or does the correct shell not have the angled side panels on the body shell? Its a lower profile too IIRC, at least, the shell i sent out to Reggie a while back, was VERY different to the shell we see here and the later shell fitted to my car.

There is something wierd going-on with the shell... but that doesn't detract from what is a great looking buggy & a superb period paint/colour scheme - in fact all three of your vintage buggies are stunning!

I was wondering if anyone had recreated a 'Ruffy' paint scheme - it was something I was planning on doing on a spare Mr Lexan Mirage that I have!

With regard to that shell - the side pods do slope on an original shell....



But there seems to be a gradual 'hump' halfway down the shell's sides that also closes up the side windows on the cockpit?

if my memory is correct, works '91 came with 2 of waterdrop-shape rooms for front bulkhead screws. but Rob put these 2 screws on the body. and i can't see those 2 stuff. what do you guys call it? many yoke bodies came with them right?

Thanx for the very nice comments guy's

Originaly the body that came with the car had the teardrops, to give clearance to the screws.
The TBG shell which is probably a 93 or up version, had a slimmer noseline and the body sat to high because of the screws it rested on.
What i did is cutting an alternative noseline and opened up the spots were the screws are under.
Now the body sits lower and i can even use the bodypost, that was cut of by the original owner. ( i super glued it back on
I have a original body with a not so fancy paintjob, i am thinking of sending it to TBG to make a repro of it.

Cheers
