hi

looking for a pair of front subframe to body spacers ( the oval one's who sit on to of the subframe tower) they apparently are no longer available here.

also looking for a full set mk 1 door hinges ( prefered a set that is marked top left top right under left under right) in good or easy to restore condition.

do note... i life in belgium so seller has to be willing to sent overseas.

you can do anything if you set your mind to it...
i rather blow it up winning than keep it together losing.

I found an old post from Paul who recommended the minispares alloy hinges which I swapped to when I had the car painted. That way you stop the rust!

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

I have been looking at those and talked about it at the painters. There fear is that they would oxidate and paint would brake of at the hinge point. Or is this not something to worry about with the right primer.

Steel oxidises too, it's rust, just etch prime and paint as normal. Manufacturers make body panels out of the stuff.
