Really good progress Mark - Shell looks really nice
Nice - engine starting to look like porn!
coming along nicely..:thumb::thumb:
very nice mark :thumb:
Dude it looks awesome! I'm taking you can now remove the front wings? The skirts are blended in?
good stuff, sport projects need those extra 'in the details' effort.
I remember a couple of years ago on my project (non-sport) i had to mask the hell out of the interior-shell to paint the steering column and pedal boxes black as you have..
The black against white that pure will look the bizz.
Im liking the engine mate.
Skirts are on to stay mate blended on the original pre new front end so it was ddone the same again, new wings fitted so they should be ok.Quote:

They drop by a tiny bit due to the repair panels fitted,Quote:
