Sounds good, there is a body source in England too. I have a fellow vintage racer who bought a new nose for his MK1, but I don't know the name of the supplier. They supposedly have the old Specialized Moldings molds.

It would be great to have the original body!!!
Most tail sections got flared and re-flared, since original wheels for a MKI were 8" and 10" F/R, I talked to a guy who crewed on the Simonize team and they tried 14" wide rear wheels on the last T-70 that Chuck Parsons drove. Chuck used to live on the Monterey Penninsula, but I think he passed away. I talked to him once and all he could say is he wished he'd kept some of his old cars so he could SELL them and make MONEY. He finished his years as a car salesman at various local dealerships.
