See to me, for some reason that is beyond me, an R19 valver isn't a true valver unless its on a H plate for some reason.... Confused

If there was the option of a H, J or K plate phase valver all exactly the same I'd pick the H....

whats the diff then

ph2 shells rust more and easier. Ph1 shells are better made, less bracketry and don't really rust much.

Yeah, using the phase II shell on phase I cars is just plain gypo, having to chop up the shell at the factory to fit the headlights etc

Don't get k plate phase I shells as far as I know, even if it is a phase I car ie the good looking one

from the way u were talkin it seemed that u were say H was better than J and K ...p1s only....

not just simply between p1 and p2

Yeah I was, Chris agrees. I think its the mentality that the first of most cars are the best, by the time its mrk 89 phase 12 or whatever it isn't the same

mid 91 they started usign ph2 shells and ph1 body bits to use up the stocks. Liek geairge said the factory cut off/sometimes left on the ph1 grill and headlight mounts etc on the ph1cars

oh right....now i see....so my early 92 p1 is prolly a p2 shell?
