Re: Shape of my tub  is/was the front of my GTM coupe. However the earlier Cox, have the fuel tank as you suggest.  I do remember there being two types of front wheel arches also, I have the square ones, but some GTM (Maybe the 10" wheel) having a diagonal/angled arch. Pictures need to be hosted elsewhere, I use http://tinypic.com then copy the 2nd code down, the [ img]..............[/ img] ones

Re: Shape of my tub Hells bells. Thats a big big job. Im impressed with the effort, you have done a fantastic job.
I would not of taken that on. I dont have the time or more importantaly the skill. I belive im very very lucky as the coupe I have got has never being built or even got wet.
Thanks for the thread because I now think mine is the same year because of body/chassis style. Keep up the good work. I take my hat off to you.

Re: Shape of my tub Yesss, it was rather an epic.
The 'sensible' approach would have been a new tub, but then I'm not sensible!
Seriously, I wanted a pre '75 car so it 's elligible for historic rallying.
I really must update that thread as the car is virtually finished now.
