Well I too am a trades person and I do take my trade very serious but as I said in my earlier posts if these cars are being made to look original wellthen the panel gaps should be wrong as this is a person who might have a close eye on detail  Grin Grin

its allways nice to hear someone praise the work you have
done on your car but a different story when it is being critised.

If I paid someone to do some panel work on my car, I would want things to line up. I don't care if the bloke that originally built it had too many chianti's at lunch time before getting back to the assembly line. If I'm going to the effort to restore a car, I want it straight.

Well if you wanted a non original finish then this is the way to go but you are insulting a mans pride and joy as he seems to have made a great effort in getting and driving a 131 and if anyone has seen Sportsfan's 127 that is a class little sports car, perfect  Grin Grin

i just think they look really nice cars! some people can fit panels, some people can stitch seats, some people can weld, some people can preload an lsd, its not a perfect world and neither are 30 year old 131's. and if you are perfect you end up in f1 and you know how boring that is! my panel fit is awful, but my floor mounted pedals and magnesium shocks are delicous.

yes taz if you pay someone who specialises in body work and you are paying him yes but if you do it yourself as good as you can do it and you are happy you dont like people you have never meet before putting it down beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Do not worry , if they criticize -this is good. It meanns they are interested. Worst thing whould be no response at all.

PS : Please show what you got  and be a PROUD OWNER.  ( I am, though there is always someone who will pick on details.) To me this is a sign of admiration !
