    Took a trip up to the bodyshop today 3hr round trip so I dont get up very often

    Car hasnt moved on a huge amount, as at present all the time is being taken to get the outside as perfect as possible, this includes rebuilding the xpack kit in certain areas just to get the correct feel to the panel

    Also everything is being done by hand so its all slow but far more care is being taken than just blasting although 7 coats of paint on some panels is making this a long task.

    The good news is that the delay in the shell is probably working in my favour now as it gives me time to get every other small detail correct and all new parts the best possible, anyway here are some pics, car is covered in dust so not the clearest pictures.







    its like checking the age of a tree

            Spoke to the bodyshop today and body is a bit further forward but not much, should be on roll over jig next week or so to start on the underneath, this will also free up the suspension etc so I can get it refurbed.

            Engine should be ready this weekend for its dyno run

            Would be moving a lot quicker if the bodyshell was back, with it missing it tends to drain the motivation.

                            I was thinking of getting an alloy rad are they a straight bolt in job or are mods required?
