Even if i was paying £20k for a Cobra-in-a-box i would expect to have some minor fettling to do on the panels. But i didn't, i paid a considerable amount less and I knew that there would be some reworking required.
As MarcF says, it's good to share so that we can all work through/around these areas together, as part of my personal reworking is going to be due to:
  • My donor car.
  • How i mounted the frame
  • How i mounted the bodywork
etc...

I know that Mike and Mike (Miglia/Sammio - this isn't going to get confusing now is it!! ) are both trying to improve their products to try and reduce the amount of reworking needed on a build, but TBH for the price that we pay for these frame/bodyshell packages we simply need to go in to these projects with our eyes open and be willing to either

a) put up with some of the quirks
or
b) Put in the time and effort to change them to our personal standards (i.e. Paul!)



I do have some more 'quirks' that i've encountered that i'll share this weekend, but again, nothing world ending!!
