All door hardware fitted and working. The doors require a heap of filling and sanding to bring the shut lines to an acceptable gap. Could be ready for primer in a week or so...

[CR6ZZ]

Main body colour (7 coats of Lexus Titanium) sprayed.

[Lagerlout]

Looking awesome!

Seconded - I do love it when this pops up

Just perfect in every way, makes mine look like a Meccano project

Don't sell yourself short. You've already done lots of the hard stuff we haven't even thought about yet. Are you going to the Classic this year?

Thanks, and at least they are never likely to be parked side by side for people to compare

Not going to the classic but doing the main event as we do every year, not long now

Stripes and black front clip done.

[Hoonigan]

Hubba hubba....

Scoops and front nostril panel painted and roundels on.

[geraintthomas]

WOW!

[HughG]

This is going to be very special when it's done. Have you got a target for completion?

[CR6ZZ]

A chap wanted me to take him to his wedding in it in late October, but it ain't going to happen... I'll be pretty happy if it is finished next Easter.

[ezakimak]

Rear subframe done.





Just a couple of minor things to do and then have the LVV inspector (like your IVA) check out all the welding before paint goes on the monocoque.

[RC1807]

Hubba hubba.

[AWG]

Very nice! Love that colour.

[familyguy1]

so jealous of you having the time, money and inclination to do such a project, hats off to you.

Am I right in seeing the bonnet is all black with white roundels ? what do you mean by "black front clip" ?

Personally I would keep the metallic grey with black stripes front to back. But ignore me, its your car and your doing what you like and as I say hats off to you.

Please keep posting updates as I love reading about such projects.
