i currently have the bolts on the 2 oblongated holes and can get it to sit nicely

should i just drill the other holes biger to give them adjustment too??

thanks in advance

That maybe an option or you could track down some genuine GTR hinges at a wrecker just in case you dont want to butcher yours

my 2c

the hinges look to be welded to the 1/4 s

There not welded its just sealer, just undo the bolts and you should be able to move the hinge around once the sealer cracks off.

he thanks for advice the bottom was just glued on as well then painted over in body colour just used pry bar

ceaned away all excess glue tried again with the greater amount of play in brackets got it lined up sweet

    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
    • A Brumby would probably fit a big metal toolbox in the back... this is how it begins  
    • Picked up a new OEM boot seal for the MX5 today as the old one got ripped a bit by me being a idiot by seeing if I could fit a large metal tool box in it, it didn't fit, and ripped the seal with the corner of the tool box I am still waiting on time to get the cams and new balancer installed, as well as the repairs to the boot Time will not be an issue soon though
