I know some people aren't too hung up on authenticity, and that's fine. People should build what they want. For others, however, authenticity is a big factor, and I've noticed over time a number of queries regarding what parts came from which donor car. With over 600 people on the forum now we should be able to get some authoritative answers. Perhaps it's time to add a seperate thread? Anyway, here are my contributions, and I will not be offended if I've got some of them wrong and someone corrects me - that's what this is all about. Anyone with more knowledge, please fill in the gaps, or add to the list.
