Is this normal? (Bodywork)

[Extra 300 Driver]

I have just fitted a new windscreen scuttle to my Mini. I am also fitting two new wings.

One thing that I noticed when removes the old one was the amount of filler in the area between the scuttle and the wing, I guess to get the gap correct? Anyway after I have fitted the new scuttle the gap is inconsistent, and requires filling.

Is this normal?

I believe so.

I think its nearly impossible to replicate the factory tolerance because when they are built, that weld is put in with the shell upside down.

That could be something entirely different though but its ringing bells.

Yes.
