Hi all, I've been cracking on with the Sport, done the rear wheel tubs & tank/spare wheel well in Gravitex stone chip underneath,

FLying with it now mate

[mk1GTstu]

And made a start lining up the front panels..

Got the doors & bonnet on, front panel & wings clamped on & held with self tapping screws temporarily..

[mk1GTstu]

It all lines up pretty well, may need a bit of tweaking here & there, & the front grille fits!




Thats it for now!

Panel gaps looks nice mate did they take much fiddling?

Is the black paint a finish you can leave and paint over or does it need to come off.
Lovely progress BTY

They fit quite well & didn't take much fiddling, clamped them up 1st then when I got them lined up drilled a few holes & held them in place with self tappers.
Its all got to come back off again to weld on front panel & stonechip & paint it.

cheers, Stu.

It should paint over ok I would have thought. Just getting the back panel shape looking right, as you won't be having the strips to paint up to on your earlier model!

Looking great with the panels in place, I may say!
