Body kit revisit..and springs

[rocco16v at netzero.net (L F)]

One suggesttion:
If you use double-sided tape to hold the kit on, omit the filler idea.  The tape will allow enough movement that the bondo will quickly crack.  In fact, I think bondo-ing would never be an option...if for no other reason than the differences in thermal expansion between steel and plastic.

  OK..so I'm gonna pull a 16v kit...no problem. What I'm looking for now is 
  some tips on reattachement to another vehicle. Aside from the screws and 
  clips, I was thinking of a commercial grade double sided tape and then 
  delicately massaging the seam with body filler cream so when finally done it 
  appears as part of the original panel.

  On another note, the guy I'm getting this kit off of has a set of 
  aftermarket springs with a 2" drop on the 16v. He asked if I was 
  interested.....are spring set-ups cross applicable between 8v and 16v's?

  Thanks,
  Jon Palm
