    HJ GTS is what I always wanted but like you say too dam rare to find. That's why I grabbed this over a Q shell, I already have all the HJ GTS parts I just needed a shell with doors to go with it. being the HX, the panels and dash fit without modifying the firewall.

    Just a note, when you go chasing the internal pillar moulds for a Hj/hx coupe and can't find any, grab the Hj standard ones, you can cut them down and reweld together because they are still made in metal. I fitted a statesman back seat top so I could have a middle arm rest but had to add 50mm each side. Cheers

    good to know! I had been thinking of making the pillar moulds and wondered if it had been done before.

    Haven't touched it for a while due to other projects but finally made a little bit of headway.

    Removed the rear header support to start the roof repairs, Got a pro in on the roof skin, bit over my head.
