Have always liked Rota Grid's, these will look fantastic.

Not done huge amount to the Capri as mainly focusing on the Noble, however it did mean that the noble was going to be on axle stands for a few months so I wanted to get the primer on the capri body that I had worked on so far... I have spent a week designing and shaping the rear arch and smoothing out the window surrounds and you would never know it wasn't how it left the factory. Means I got it right and am very happy smile

Door is very close to me taking a mould, next job will be to turn the car around and replicate the wheel arch exactly on the other side of the car which should be a faster process, won't start until the work on the noble is complete.

Amazing body work skills there! That swage line where the filler used to be looks razor sharp - it's pretty difficult to get it looking that good as I've found out when trying to get my XR2 looking straight again.

Plenty of professional body men wouldn't even take that on let alone get it to that sort of standard.

Great effort biggrin

Thanks for all the responses, i don't find bodywork that easy and have to keep painting it so i can look at it to see the areas i am not happy with. Getting the lines right is very important for me as they will be directly transferred into the moulds, i will be 'dulling' the line down on the rear quarter to match the door, I have left it sharp so that its easy to take measurements from to get the other side the same smile

I will be taking moulds of the entire car including the roof door shuts etc etc...
