My body kit was a Gypo kit from Ebay. I bought it from a guy who bought off Ebay, and then backed out of installing it.

I paid $300. for mine with shipping included. Expect to pay nearly double that for a unit from a parts dealer.

It did not fit on well at all. Forget an easy fit. After you fit it on, it should be melded in with rivets, and fiberglass body filler (for strength). Its a lot of work. But fabbing up a bunch of sheet metal, cutting out body parts from a donor car would be even more work.

Maybe you should find another Mk I with a better body and build a car up from the two cars. Sell the excess parts on Ebay to help finance it all?
