GTS bodywork...

www.gtstuning.co.uk

It has been designed for pinto engined cars, so is about 1" taller than standard bodywork.

The rear arches are available wider as well to suit the de dion axle.

Very very good from what i have heard. There are several people on here with it. I havent bought mine yet though

I have seen the bodywork at shows though and it is awesome!! The shut lines are very good as is the finish.

Not that I am biased

so the GTS bodywork with taller nose is book width?

Yep, as far as I know it is. There was a thread about it when it was first available. It was standard dody with 1" higher nose, bonnet and scuttle IIRC.

I've built a few GTS's now, can say the bodywork finish is perfect... now made in house too !!!!


It should fit the book chassis all the way round, or can easily be made to fit if slightly to big.

Back panel and sides are as good as the rest of the bodywork.
