Well i have two weeks off work just now so hopefully some good updates to follow

[Mikethepanel]

Last couple of days i managed to get in the unit and get on with the boot. But looks better for it

Rear tubs are looking great! Keep the top notch work coming

Well my plan for getting lots done in these two weeks have gone tits up 😢 i've been kicked out of the garage i use for storage. So everything is piled up around the shell with no room to work

[Mikethepanel]

Not many of these left in as good a nic as this one

[Mikethepanel]

Got myself a nice door the other day


Tried lining things up but it looks like the drivers wing which i salvaged from the damaged car is going to take too long to repair and reshape


So got a new one on the way

[SebastienPeek]

I love seeing this continue, my inspiration to get back into a garage one day and weld again

[Mikethepanel]

More visual progress made this weekend



Thats the whole of the O/S in primer now! Gives me a little more motivation

And some filler and primer on the parcel shelf

[Mikethepanel]

Made a fair bit of progress on the inside today



Finally got these welded on
Also got all the rear half prep done and in primer

[The Simps]

Good work Mike

Not had much time to get at the car this weekend, so just sat the new wing on to see how bad it fits.
