Nice work CT The rear quarter looks just right. I intend shifting the doors back 5" as that is how far back my gearstick has moved with my engine/gearbox swap. I am going to cut around the rear of the door opening as you have done but will extend the horizontal cut forwards below the door then up vertically about an inch to the rear of the bulkhead/bonnet joint. After cutting a 5" strip out of the rear deck the whole lot will slide back leaving a gap between the front bulkhead and the dashboard. As I am going to use a mg midget windscreen the scuttle top between the bonnet and the dashboard area will have to be reformed anyway. Doing the cutting this way will let me use the kit doors as there are.
