Thanks mate got doors painted happy enough with the finish . I have to repaint p.s quarter panel it has a run and too much orange peel. Overall I'm happy with the finish. Not much left to paint putting it back together without damaging the finish should be interesting

Yes that's the stressful bit of a build, watching everything you do near the paintwork..

Thanks mate 👍🏻I got rid of the run and repainted the 1/4 panel came up really well .this time no runs and no orange peel . Figured out I was holding the gun too far away from the panel hence orange peel . Mixed up too much paint so luckily I had prepped and primed the bumpers earlier so I managed to paint the front bumper with the excess paint . Hoping to get everything painted this week

Doors fitted not easy to do by yourself  especially with fresh paint . I didn't damage them so happy enough. I  fitted the wings  loosely need to fit bonnet at the weekend. Toppiup fluid for roof so that works now. Radiator is leaking at the bracket that bolts to the front panel 🤷🏿‍♂️Struggling to get first gear . Linkage I reckon. Brakes are dreadful fitted bigger servo and new master cylinder while back along with g60 brakes Goodrich hoses. Have bled them twice🤷🏿‍♂️Might have wire brush discs .

On grill is little plastic caps.. I did have some made a few years Go , will look see if there's 2 left.  They cover the screws. . The straps off tonneau stick to below parcel shelf when fitted.  Or if like me can get then to stick due to old velcro repayment/ shelf then just put a loop of bungee through both and secure . Keeps it nice and tight.. stops any risk of tonneau catching wind.
