Its been almost two years since I last made a post on here, I have done the odd bit honest..

No big report today I will have to sit down and do one at some point maybe Anyhow I have spent all day in the garage trying to be busy, so here is what I have done today.















At least if I ever Bananarama!, it will stop now

Stupid missing page

looks good Guy, be a nice stiff shell with the post.
What weight saving with the brakes and are they 4.5 pcd ?, also remind me on the motor spec.

Great (and informative) photographs Guy.

Those welded in bolts are a bit scarey! Great to have an update Guy!

Good to see you getting stuck into your boxes of new parts Guy.

Nice work on the photos and commentary Guy, it all made perfect sense even to me!

Thanks for the comments, i will take some photos and get them posted soon

Well I have made little progress on this for some time as my body is officially Bananarama!, knees, feet, back and shoulder which I dislocated at work the other week

I pulled the car out of the garage at the begining of April and it doesn't seemed to have stopped raining since

I have never want the paint finish to be perfect ( trust me its a long way from there ) there were some issues that needed to be sorted

The trunk lid is now painted and fitted, thanks to Mick who sent me some photos of how he attached his. I still have to mount the bonnet and I am not looking forward to that


I repainted the rear quater as all the paint was peeling off, it doesn't look to bad for a rattle can


All new fibreglass front end awaiting paint which will be painted satin black for now(because I have loads of cans)


Just started on the wiring from scratch which will be fun

Getting there mate! The hood isn't too bad a job once you get going, I normally start at the rear corners and work forward. I'd use the large Dzus fasteners on a bonnet and you'll want 10 of them. I find using the pre made brackets is easiest even if you have to alter them, making the whole lot from scratch is a pain. Give me a call if you need any advice, 'cos I know most of the tricks, I've fitted hundreds of 'em!

wicked cowl Guy,, love that front end look.. 6 or 8 inches ???

looks Good Guy

I opted for pins on the front, i fixed my old bonnet with dzus fasteners and it was a pain in the arse.
Looking good Guy, be nice to see it go down the track.

I was going to use dzus fasteners but after chatting with Jon (Turnip) at the easter thunderball I decided to go with six of http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AEROCATCH-Plu ... 5644aebc70 they keep his hood on well into the nines so thats more than enough for me

Rich spot on mate 8"
