Coming together nicely

Is that rust on the rear edge of the hardtop? Thought it was fibreglass?

Had a problem with my new wheels, they cause the calipers grr!!



Fitted a 12mm spacer and spaced the caliper out by 1mm and and its perfect now.

Just about finished now.




Now all i need is to get it taxed and mot'd and im good to go.. Finally after nearly 10 months.

Yea, the paint isnt a 100% match. Its not too bad in the flesh. I think once the car is clean and polished up it would look closer.
