-2- (5) The external rubber seal to the top of the doors is a very poor finish and far below standard. (6) The fixing of the sun visors is very poor and has required attention. (7) The panels of the doors, rear boot, and above the wheel arch are very wavy, causing images, this is very noticeable. Some of the jobs may seem small, but it is the inferior finish to details which has been so striking in this particular body. In conclusion, we would say that the finish of this body is not up to the usual standard turned out by Park Wards. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} | ||
