nova GSI/GTE strenghtened chassis leg

[bazil]

a few may know the gsi gte cars had a different o/s chassis leg, this is the easiest way to tell if the shell is correct or not, also the o/s inerwing is a little different aswell but im not 100% if it was exclusive to the gsi/gte

anyway here is the difference in the leg

standard leg first, note the hole next to the engine mount, on the gsi/gte leg this is plated over from behind,

iirc, the gte shell had beefed up front & rear suspension pickup points, as well as the turret plates.. i read somewhere that someone was claiming the whole shell was made from thicker metal, but i discounted that as cobblers.......
