Was able to answer my own question!!!! When I pulled the front end off and took all the gear from the firewall I found the original paint under the wiper plate and also under the battery tray. The car has been painted in a softer shade of grey,which is a few shades lighter than original. So now all I have to do is get my 8 ltrs. retinted to match.

Rod, do you have the old shims, if so you could take them to a machine shop and get some tube of the same size and cut it down , if you do,nt have them I have an old front end which still has the crossmember bolted in so it should have the shims in place.

P.S. make sure you put some kind of sealer between the inner guards & the firewall.

Rod, My take on this would be the subframe can only go in one place as it is controlled by the four subframe boltd at the lower body & the six upper bolts & four screws that hold it to the firewall. The crossmember is again controlled by the four bolts & the outrigger. What the manual is talking about is the compression of the new mounting rubbers, by varing the lenght of the shim you get different comression of the mounts. This should not vary the alignmentall that much, it is suggested that you check the alignment when the car is back together just incase it is out. I,ve done this a few times way back when I had an fb & fe and swapped the complete front end over as I had a 186 & 4 speed in the fb then got hit up the rear, so I got the fe and swapped them over.

Wayne, the other spare door has minimal rust buthas  been pushed in on the left side. Should be an easy fix as its in the single panel part. Asking the same as the other one but this is a much better deal I think.

Did you have any problems fitting the door rubbers, I,ve been told the rares ones are a bit on the thick side.

I stand corrected. the shoes are the same but the link plate is on opposite sides as Wayne said. You may also want to check that the wheel cylender is flush with the backing plate when bolted up.
