That car was well known in the club about 15 years ago the doors are non standard. Are you planning to fit normal doors if so you have a lot of work to do but I do have door moulds so can help there. If you want to keep the gullwing doors they need to be made from scratch (assuming you don't have any doors at the moment). As for the dash looking at the photos I think you will find the original dash is still under the current dash mind it may have a lot of holes and cut outs in it. Mike |

I looked on Facebook for Mike but couldn't see him on there. If my memory is correct he lived in Crewe in Cheshire.
It looks like you have quite a task ahead changing it back to standard Cristian, good luck. |

One possible solution - I have two Mk.2 Jem doors. The shape is virtually the same on the inside but the top front corner is different and of course the window frames are different. However you could modify them or fit polycarbonate windows with sliding ventilators.
This photo shows the main difference - Marcos in front, Jem behind. |
