Thanks Guys your comments are appreciated.
Quick update, the wings are now back on and I hung the doors to check the gaps, O/S looks sweet about 3mm each side all the way down, N/S not as good, the gap from wing to door is good at 3mm but to B pillar is about 1.5mm, so a bit of grinding needed on doorskin to correct that, the openings between wings to B pillars are almost mm perfect to each other either side. bonnet to wings is around 3mm so happy with all that, still have boot to fit and check and then it will be time to get some paint on . Will get some more pics up once I have the primer on.

Been a while since I last updated this, but I hadn't done much to the car recently, been buying new parts and cleaning other stuff up, but I managed to get a few evenings in the garage earlier this week, so this evening I prepped the near side and put a few nice heavy coats of filler primer on, I did the near side first as I thought it needed the most work to get right, once the primer was on it didn't look that bad tbh, and im happy with the gaps and alignment too, a few minor dents to sort and it shouldn't be far off ready for colour.

Little update,
O/S has now got its first coat of primer/filler, still quite a bit to do on this side, but im happy with the body lines and door gaps

[HarrierTony]

Its coming off the spit tomorrow, so just before it does I thought I would take advantage of it still being on there and put a lick of paint around the door shuts, and doors, its not the final colour, just a bit of left over, but I wanted to see some colour on it lol

Nice to see updates Tony

[HarrierTony]

Cheers Lee, im getting there mate, slow but sure.

Managed to get the back in primer this evening, not much green left on this car now. I have repaired the rusty bits on the C pillars and that leaves just 2 small patches to weld and the welding is then finished ;yaay;

Been a while since I last worked on the car because I have been concentrating on getting my garage roof done, but with the crap weather today I decided to sort the car roof out instead. I really wasn't looking forward to doing the roof as it had a few silly little dents and a few small ripples in it, but it has come out really nice considering. This is just a bit of colour to see how it looks.

Looking good. Wish mine roof was painted lol. When u starting the silver car? Is kermit a keeper or seller?

[HarrierTony]

Thanks Jon, well I have the white one to do and a yellow cabby before the silver one gets a look in, and Kermit is a seller, everyone who sees it thinks I am absolutely mad to even consider selling it lol.
A few better pics now the camera battery has been charged up

[Lee R]

Nice to see an update Tony

[13sport]

U could always sell me the silver car and keep kermit?

[HarrierTony]

[HarrierTony]

Thanks Lee, I will be doing more to the car as the weather changes and stops me working on the garage.
