I have just bought a replacement body for my Plus 2. What is the best way to fit it - should I weld up all the mounting holes and redrill and retap them? Or what?
Is there anything else I should worry about?
Hi Higs, that is exactly what i did some years ago worked out ok. just remember when body correctly settled on chassis if you have gaps between body & fixing points do not tighten to close gap make up alloy spacers to fill gap. Also if engine in chassis you will find front upright fixings impossable to drill i bought a 90 deg drill attachment from B&Q for about 19 squid comes with 3 wood bits & fits into your own drill worked out well. Have fun Curly 
Is this a “new” body or a “new secondhand” body?
If new where did you get it and what is the quality like?
Cheers

Hi Jon!
Hows the +2 Resto going?

Sidelined for the moment whilst I finish the Seven.
Will try to organise a run around Lough Derg over the Christmas Hols if You are free.

Don’t have my car back yet. But am happy enough with progress.
I’m involved with a project this Christmas at Newgrange…on site 
The timing of this work (or rather the proof of the work) is very dependent on weather (we need Sunrise) so I may be occuped with this.
But, would love to get to another run if I could!
Must drop down to see you and the family…and nearly as imprtantly…the 7
Greetings to all,

The latter. Hopefully a better route than restoring mine. The body is just about ready for painting.
Cheers
