Yep, I'm happy with the look now, just need to tidy them up and at last get some paint on them.

Bit of filler and a quick blow over so that I can finish the filling and sanding over the weekend.

Awesome work Colin, you're really getting good at these arches, I think this will really set the project off nicely and the fact that you are not just accepting that it is right first time, but standing back and deciding whether or not to re-do parts of the project that in your mind not meet the projects targets, time consuming yes, but essential if the project is going to meet it's expectations ....... keep up the great work your doing, it's going to be like an electro-magnet at retro rides mate

As I've said before if you need any help just give me a shout, as I more than willing to lend a hand so you meet your deedline

I take it he's seen the car so he knows what going on must say looking forward to seeing this in the flesh at some point..

I believe his exact words where "Christ, it's like a friggin rats nest in there"

Guess he will say a bit more after he's had a day or two at it. I bet you're glad he going to get stuck into it.

It will be a few months before he gets started on it.

Thanks to Adrian for dropping off a couple of seat runners for me yesterday, I thought it would be nice if I could marry a Volvo Seat runner to a fiberglass Sabelt seat, well actually, it was very easy.

Wasn't going to work like this.



But a couple of extension pieces and jobs a goodun

You need to get them in the car, they're no good on a bench in the workshop......lol

good to catch up yesterday even if it was a bit brief, the colour of the tailgate is awesome can't wait to see the finish car, as the photo's do not do that colour any justice at all

[claymore]

Made a start on the fuel tank today.





And said goodby to the donor car, I hope there's nothing i need off it still.
