I built a Banham BAT a few years ago. On the old X21.com site there used to be load of tips on overcoming the boot hinge and door problems on the X21. But that site has long since gone.

Boot hinge - either have exposed hinges ( I think morris minor boot hinges or similar) or more modern internal hinges I think from a BMW 3 series.

Doors - The Banham doors do not fit. There were two ways of recifying this either, lots of Chopped strand matting and bodyfiller and shape to suit

OR cut the door skin off the internal banham moulded bit and use the modified original metro doors to profile the skin to a more realistic fit. The door hinges also require modification to get a good opening. I did a "how to" word document of how i did the BAT doors PM me if you want a copy.
