                Are you leaving it with the nose cone on ,originally I wanted the same for mine,then I thought how much it would cost for headlights,wings,etc. and again if I stuff it?
                What about the gearbox tunnel and seam welding are you doing them yourself ?.Its quite easy if you have a good solid shell as yours is.

                It's looking good though mate,you'll have 18 months of garage passes to use though,I'm a bit borderline with mine at the moment.However I spent 1/2 day in my garage today cleaning up 4 months of rotten steel ,filler,underseal and dust.Filled 1 and 1/2 dustbins of basically sh1t that was removed from the shell.Got all the main cutting and welding finished now.I'll post some pics when I get all the engine bay in primer(it looks like you've achieved something then)
                Keep posting the pics as I'm at a simillar position with mine and you might as well make the mistakes and have the learning curve than me. It's been 19 years since my last build and reshell so have to think about things before I dive in and start cutting and grinding.

                yes, nose cone is staying, i love the appearanc of it and i take the view that if i do 'stuff it' then i will be a little further back from the accident with the nose cone on

                all seam welding done by myself and now virtually completed (phew)


                will keep the pics coming, keep the encouragement coming as well lads

                  • today i started to finish off the boot area and started to fix the fixtures and fittings , boy have i waited a long time for this!


                    everything is alloy, ie tank, pump holder, wheel holder, battery tray etc etc plus some links to tie down the spare wheel to the holder.

                    next, on goes the boot and it will be firmly shut untill the magic day for the battery and fuel (also to connect up the fuel lines that i am waiting for)

                    thats it for today
