's, right? Wow, congrats for saving it all these years!
All the dimensions that were ever available are in the shop manual, and it i=
s available on TigersUnited.com(?)
=46rom your photos, I think you MAY be looking at the factory re-works to th=
e Alpine body to allow the V8.  Yeah, they look like crash damage but they a=
re NOT.
