Picture # 111 As one can see here, nothing seems to fit as expected. Some adjustments will need to be made. |
 |
Picture # 112 Installation of the left door reveals a major discrepancy in relation to the swag line on the front wing. The door skin will need to be refitted starting from the bottom. |

Picture # 117 The beading is installed prior to rolling the lip over. |
 |
Picture # 118 The two parts of the left rear fender are spot welded together prior to final welding. |
 |
Picture # 119 Now that the fit is perfect, Dominique completes the filling. |
 |
Picture # 120 The door swag line now lines up as it did with the original pieces. |
 |
Picture # 121 Here is a photo of the aluminum bodyshell finally completed. The dimensions obtained from factory drawings were adhered to the millimeter. The fabrication of this 100 respects its authenticity, all its identification numbers were retained as well as its original licence plate. I am of the opinion that Gerry Coker will be happy with the end result. |
