some proper work going on here,this is going to be stunning:thumb:
Thanks, yeah i'm looking forward to putting it all together. Doing this has given me the inspiration to get my spider finished as well. I think what i'll do with that will be exactly the same. I have lost a few parts I think (nothing major) for to put it back together, so if I do basicly the same as i've done with this and put it together then take it to bits and sort it all out I can bin a load of rubish in my garage and then know exactly what I need. Time consuming but worth itfor the end result
Bout time you mentioned getting on with the spider Mark its been far too long its been hiding as a shell in your garage, that one i really await with anticipation, ive not actually seen one in the flesh i dont think, hurry up and bail the sport and get your thread bumped/new one started lol
will do mate, got a few parts here recently for it so I may update it, no shell update yet

This shows the seam along the firewall done with a spray sealer which I wasn't happy with so he has redone it with a brush sealer

Tonight I spent some time sorting in the garage sorting more parts as they all need to be done by time the car comes back from the bodyshop as I wont have room to work with the car in the garage.
Remember this rough looking stainless centre section?
