In fact - I can see a Mk3 door on the other side - so good luck trying to fit Mk1 doors into that space!

...what i meant was do the doors that use internal hinges alter for different years of the cars, maybe the doors i have are new ones or something!

I'm lost here, what doors are you trying to fit to the green shell? and what year do you belive the green shell to be?

right, with you now, but that is not a MK2 shell, it's much later than that. I can tell by the gap (or lack of) between the rear windows and the roof gutter. What year do you belive the shell to be? On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

i guess ill just have to keep trying to fit them. Im thinking tho that the panel that the door hinges bolt to behind the A Panel might be not in place properly i might have to do some bodging and hammer it a bit
