[Spits] Request for reference pics: 62-63 Mk1 Spitfire

[Mike Welch]

I have 2 '69 MkIIIs.  Pictures are on my www.freebacon.net website.  Yours 
looks a lot like the one that my son is rebuilding.  We have welded on 
replacement panels, not too big of a deal (I know someone who is a good 
welder, that helps a bunch).  Floor panels were mostly intact, we welded 
reinforcement pieces in there.
  Big difference with the MkI and MkII are the bumpers are lower (more of an 
open-mouth look), 1147cc engine instead of the 1300, and the gauges are in 
the center panel.  Engines and transmissions are interchangeable between all 
years (I've put an 1147 into a '79, and a 1500 into a '69 with very little 
trouble)
