The winter was spent fitting the front wings and doors which is when I hit another snag which you can read about here;
https://www.mgexp.com/forum/mgb-and-gt-forum.1/mgb-gt-doors-sit-too-low.4902499/
I am totally convinced that the cause of the problem was that the sills were welded too high up the door post with the right hand side being the worst by far. I also remade the engine mounts for the very wide Jaguar engine, I had tried to fix the to the top of the cross member fixing bolts but eventually located them on the cross member itself.
