Marcos Maniacs

Hallo, Billy,

two ideas for your problems with the doors.

1. I would contact "wooden wonders" in Sweden (link on Marcos 
Maniacs), they have a lot of experience with "wooden chassis".

2. In Germany Mr. Max Memmiger restored a Marcos 1800 GT built in 
1964 - one of the rare "De Dion Rear axle" early Marcos GT -. In the 
german magazine "Oldtimer Praxis" March 2002 his car was the top 
story. The report of building up the car over years wiht many photos 
is 6 pages long. If you are interested I will scan it and send it via 
E-Mail (language ist german).

He had the same problems with the doors and found a solution in 
laminating a metal carrier plate with the fiberglass body instead of 
the board of wood used by Marcos factory. As far as I know since then 
he had no problem at all with the doors. The car is racing with 
success in classic hill climbings.

Excuse my english CF
