Hi I just noticed that I did not upload the hood photos
I just uploaded them
The doors are separate from the main shell and inner and outter doors are bonded to each other
The body and the chassis were built by z Kitman motors in San Diego
I have any hinges or locks but you can source them from Vintage motors or Fiber steel

Do you know who's body this is and I assume there is a hood included. Are the doors cut out yet or part of the main body molding? Any hinges for doors, hood or deck
lid included or fabricated? Looks like a great project.
I just posted two additional photos for reference for front suspension and Subaru engine and VW transmission combination

The front suspension mounting pints are already there
The rear suspension tabs for trailing arms and coil overs have to be welded
They did not weld in the engine transmission mounting points because they had not decided what engine amd transmission they would use.
I have a few photos as reference what they wanted to do as far as a arms suspension vs swing axle suspension I can post them
I am looking for a winter project and would like to know more about the kit. Any documentation included showing where they planned to have motor mounts, suspension connections, etc.
