After a few issues and needing to source a new bonnet, the shell is ready to go off for paint! More updates and pictures to follow...
:d
Can't wait to see some pics of the car wearing a shiny new coat.
Me as well - I will add a few more "befores" in the next day or so!Quote:

That's the highlights. The lowlights were issues getting the right paint formula out of the system so no Polar White today :(
Also got a slight dip in the repaired roof panel that just won't come out :( :(
Looks suspiciously like a 2016 completion to me . . . ! :thumb:
So a few bits have been happening, mainly resulting in this!

I will leave it there!
Awesome stuff
Looks stunning mate, you've done well to get it this far this quick.
I happened to be at the place a few weeks ago and touched it before paint. :-O
Looking good, hopefully finished next time I'm down your way ;)
Looks stunning
Would have thought you would have finished it by next weekend!:)
Looks great!:thumb:
My mind is in overdrive but I am telling my two left hands to take it slowly and carefully!Quote:

^^^ Sorry for random photos - trying Tapatalk to get the pics rather than links!
Looks immense, should be on the road in a month or two lol
Had house jobs to do today but managed to install the handbrake and uncover my engine!

Ignore the brake line and servo, they are just for making up new lines. shiny servo going on eventually!

Looks amazing! :)
All looking very fresh and mint, it's coming together nicely.

Thanks for the positive comments folks. This is a home garage restoration so apart from the bodywork and paintwork, it's all an amateur project!
More progress today - whilst I installed the radiator, fan and hoses etc, this happened!
