I hope that I am not asking questions that might be
obvious to everyone else..
Are pictures of the of the stock vehicle,fenders on /
off sufficient for documentation? This will be an
issue with this car because it has almost a foot in
the cowl. The firewall is waaaay out there because the
cabin is small( more room for your feet)
I can take pictures of the car with the front clip off
with a measuring device in the picture to prove it
hasn't been altered.
