Here’s our dilemma. I say ‘our’ because there are two of us building roadsters side by side out of one garage. We assumed we would install the windshield as the manual says before starting to fit and gap doors and lids. The concerns we have are as follows.
Most of the info here and elsewhere discuss the MK4 and we have MK5 cars. As far as fitting things are there truly important differences between the two models?
With the bodies sitting on the chassis as delivered by Factory Five Racing and the windshields in place with the strut holes clearanced as needed should there be weather stripping in place on the aluminum at the dash and in back of where the seats will be? We figure weather stripping should be at least partially in place for the trunks and hoods.
Really want to fit the doors and lids and get the bodies of to the body work guys while we carry on with the rest of the cars. Are we potentially setting ourselves up for trouble if we don’t wait until the car is nearly built?
Thanks for any advice.
