Well a jack under back of door has sorted shut line

Now bottom of door is sticking out and top of door is leaning in

That's going to be trickier to sort I think

hi to cure your door fit problem,place a piece of wood behind the top of the frame and then push the door closed gently,make sure the window is wound down.this will bring the top out and at the same time the bottom will come in.it will take a good bit of force but thats how all bodyworkers do it

bonnet pins now mounted ,



and made a cross bar , to help support wires / radiator / grill



slapped some etch primer on it ... ran out of satin black as a piece of metal punctured it ... what a mess !



time for another test drive i think

[16vmini]

sure it will look better painted

what about swapping Scooby bonnet vent for something like a power bulge out of a capri bonnet sitting on vertical 2" sides and mesh on front edge to allow airflow. Have you decided on a colour yet

[16vmini]

coilovers have arrived from www.bc-racing.co.uk ,
they gave great advice on which set to choose etc , would highly recommend them and i am sure will be getting more stuff from them later.



and been laying some primer on rear wings .. lots more to do yet.

sorry , some silly effect :





i think it looks quite good myself

[Groupcracer]

i dont hate it.

Its takes a bit of getting used to but you are entitled to be proud.

Well done for doing something different.

Looks like great fun - wish I had the space / time do prepare something similar!

Enjoy the fun from all your graft :-)
