Sounds like a right ball ache getting the bodywork to fit, whats Tigers response to why its so bad ? ? is your chassis made from scratch to the book
or did you buy it from Tiger ? I get the impression the book chassis is a different size to that which Tiger supply.
Whats all this about a new body they do now ? is it much better ?

Tigers response??and i quote "they are all like that" and "if you don'tlike it you can have your money back" and
"what do you expect from a budget car"
mine is a tiger made chassis (unfortunatly)
don't know if there is a "new" body, haven't seen one so i will reserve judgement.

Cheeky! Its only a year and three days late, it was our 1st aniversary on the 2nd! Because we were busy finishing the car I never took her out
anywhere either! I'll make up for it this next week though. I wonder if she'd like a nice ride over to Beverly...........

Well done and congratulations, Pat.
Taking her to Donny? (would make a refreshing change to see a few Avons amongst the Cats and Sixes!
You can have a few week's grace while you enjoy the car and then can we expect to see your website updated?!
Cheers,
Andy.

Apologies for the not so clear pic, but my wife was taking it as they overtook me at 80mph on the way home!
