Blue One: Decided that I wanted to block the whole car down, started last night with my mate Glenn, who has actually done nearly all the bodywork (cheers mate!). We managed to do a whole quarte door frame, pillars and sill, bonnet, spoiler, and the roof + gutterings.

No pics though! :(

Here we go:

All progress has stopped though due to not checking shafts first! Turns out I have a smallblock cav inner, its like a dick in a bucket lol

Not my best effort, but its in there!

It's alive!

No matter how many engine conversions you do, why is it when you fire it up for the first time, your so releived, and walk around with the biggest smile on your face for the next 5/10mins!

Got it booked in to have exhaust done at 2pm tomorrow.

Just got to put the other shaft in, as managed to get a Inner CV today!

Then I have a runaround and will devote all my attetnion back to the blue one.

Top stuff :)

i always get that feeling 'please start, please, OH thank god for that :D' lol

Good work, not so good progress on the blue one.

btw superglue is good on cuts, thats what it was developed for.
