Sorry to add a note of caution!!
Materials throughout very good but....
Chassis powder coating definitely not up to Western standards and places with no coating at all! It will be necessary to hand paint all the chassis that can be seen
Machining on castings (Suspension uprights) not accurate or consistent Requires a lot of reworking.
Rear hub pins not sized correctly for interefence fit
Front hub swivel joints poor slack fit (not shimmable)
Plating on rear hubs causes fit/ problems
Surprised that there was any problem with machining but have been equally surprised with the poor quality of the intake manifold casting from Dove.
No one would accept expensive parts from a regular car manufacturer that had to be sent to a machine shop to get surfaces trued up! Anyone who had modest engineering skills would have struggled to get the suspension assembled to high fit quality.
Otherwise OK and very pleased with the standard of the body...getting close to dropping the engine in.
