Have you got a timescale?

Wow you should be proud of that, nice work  

cheers. only real deadline i have is june next year as i am going to drive it across europe.

it should be finished well before then. once paint is done i should start getting loads done.

final touches on the bodywork are getting done tomorrow. and then it should be getting painted this weekend  

Got the scuttle, passenger and wind screen aperatures done this morning. Also got a few dents on the roof repaired and in primer





















Tomorrow:

Stone chip the back of the wings, flat down all of the primer. flat the whole car. And get it as spotless as possible for the weekend

Nice work. Very jealous of your lovely coloured shell  

Matt

Great looking project mate.
The paint looks really nice in the photos. Is it a different shade (looks more like tornado red)?

thanks pal, yeh its tobasco red. the pics dont do it justice, its an amazing colour  

i need to get some better pics, i didnt have a chance yesterday, just wanted to get it in the garage before a cat or a bird came along  

I had this colour planned for mine for so long and when i first saw this i thought its ruined it for me....but its actually just inspired me a bit more. Nice work mate at least theres not many over here in this colour

i know there are hardly any over here. i will get some good pics of the paint work to give you a bit more inspiration
