All internal fittings boot pan, inner guards, floor pan are bonded to body to form a simple monologue design. The body is mounted at 36 points and can be removed at any time. The quality of the body is as good as it gets. Often we have a finished car in white gel coat polished to show the quality. However we do recommend painting the body.
