Looking smart. I love the bonnet, I actually think I'm going to ditch my current bonnet and make one up like that some time soonish. Will suit the new bumper plans better too.
Really can't wait to see how those sideskirts look. Think they are going to look rather good which will be a suprise as they looked so bad and were such a bad fit!
Did you have fun moving my car?

had to do another job tonight but got a bit more done
Got the bumpers on, the rear was a bit annoying and then set about bridging gaps, high sections and low sections.
oh yeah the underside of the bonnet
the bumper rubbed on the bonnet so i trimmed it down a bit with the belt sander
then removed any excess bits off the bumpers and got them ready for fibre glass
notice the gap under the headlight

been so busy doing other jobs , but managed to get all the filler work finished and in primer too. Cheers to ed for helping out with the final sand down to get it done tonight ( i bribed him with pizza)
here it is, had a load of dents to fill too.
got a massive fly in the quarter
and ed was constructive at the end of this evenings antics by naming the sanding blocks

I'm helpful
Love the skirts. Just how they should look!
Arden Blue though. A) You have got to be joking! B) It's metallic and that's homo. C) Are you just guessing random colours now? D) It's off the shelf...

Looking smooth
Those 1.0 12v's look like they are pretty easy to mask off to paint the turrets and bulkhead

Wet down the floors and dust the walls. However I need to run a water supply down there, when we have that we really really really need to take everything out, dust it all and jet wash the walls and floors as it needs a proper good clean up
