[Spits] Looking for a Spitfire Mk2 or 3 door

[jwolff3 at verizon.net]

Thanks Joe,
It is the push button type. I just heard back from the body guy and it
is indeed the driver's side of the car that was hit at one point in it's
life and repaired poorly... looks like I'll also be buying a new rear
fender. He did suggest I might want to look for another car to start
with but my car does have very solid floors and rockers which in my
experience isn't easy to find on an old Triumph. The engine is also
freshly rebuilt so I would have to limit my search to a mk1 or 2 which
doesn't seem easy to find. But if anyone has a good tub or body on frame
with no interior or drivetrain I might also be interested in that.

As far as a new rear fender, would Spitbits be a good choice to purchase
from?

Thanks in advance for any leads or advice!

Jason

handle
that turns, it is the same as a Mk1 Door.B  On the other hand, if it has
the
push button type, it is indeed the same as the Mk3
