Looked clean & neatly done.Highest price for a while
Agreed... Nice to see a quality car still bring string interest. Of late they havent been as well appreciatedLooked clean & neatly done.
Opinion : The trim is where it belongs on the metal. It's the metal that is not where it's supposed to be. Got three in the Queue right now with the same nose-down issues.The 'crooked trim' MK1a 2093 has always been an anomaly for high$$ sales ...

The tiger side stripe is uneven and steps where the badge is.What are you guys talking about ? Please explain
We like to correct most of that geometry on the frame table before too much welding takes place. But often the need arises for deep relief slices in the panels as the flaws show themselves. Welding too strongly in the projects beginning can frustrate panel alignment as the uni-body stiffens. Ergo, the slow process of tack & measure will win out (eventually).The tiger side stripe is uneven and steps where the badge is.
Basically rises diagonally accross the drivers door and then the small trim intersects the top of the R in Tiger as oppoosed to aligned to bottom of text
Does this misalignment occur only when the wheel arches are flared to accommodate a larger wheelWe like to correct most of that geometry on the frame table before too much welding takes place.

"Tired" uni-bodies will misalign as the A & B post bottoms rot out. Couple that with what I call Braille parking when the cross member finds a curb block and the impact dips the nose and raises the A post. Even the better body men will take a "good enough" result after frustration sets in.Does this misalignment occur only when the wheel arches are flared to accommodate a larger wheel
So it sounds like it is a structural problem with either a bent or deteriorated frame that then miss aligns the trim, a cause for concern.
