New to all this-ish

Last time I visited Susan Miller I asked her about ill fitting doors. They all do that ex works she said. When restoring an Elan it seems to be good practice and much easier to filler the body to suit the doors rather than fiddling with the doors themselves. But if you like to keep your Elan genuine, just live with the rear door bottoms sticking out. That?s what I?ll do. And believe me, the car drives just as well!

If you want something where all the parts fit like they should - buy something German.

Otherwise start enjoying the noble art of owning a real sportscar.

Thanks guys, I have decided to leave the doors as is - just putting new bobbins in to tighten up the wear. I have something German - A Range Rover! Anyone any idea where the original steering column was scavenged from? I'm guessing a triumph part.
